    Maybe that's because they realized that they will never have a chance? They have great marching bands but quality football no so much. 

    maybe for a schools like harvard or alcorn state...

    If your conference doesn't participate, you don't get to be the champion.  That's not the fault of the team that became the champion.

    So the hockey and basketball tournaments are also flawed?

    the hockey and basketball tourney's a re not flawed because teams are trying to get into the tourney...FCS playoffs not so much anymore.

    but if the best team all year is harvard 10-0 and the ivy league doesn't send a team doesn't that water down the fcs playoffs...if the second best team was alcorn state and the swac chose not to send them to the playoffs doesn't that water down the fcs playoffs....imagine if duke was 34-0 in bball and the acc doesn't send a team to the tourney and a team like butler wins it all with a record of 21-13...wouldn't that be a little odd?

    How is a 24 team playoff flawed?

    a few conferences abstain from even partaking in the playoffs and a few other non-deserving conferences get auto bids...take 16 teams...no auto bids, no byes,...and roll with it.

    And we were still terrible this year.  It makes no sense to rip the FCS competition when it's our competition.

    take away half our injuries and we would be right there. the process of crowning a champ is flawed and in the last decade...watered down quite a bit.

    I get what you're saying, but every fan base has people like that, including our own. Not looking to kiss NDSU's backside, I just think its a little humorous that folks on here like to talk about how they were going to slide this year, and they got the easy path to Frisco, like this year was some fluke. They've been doing this for years now. I guess i just find it a little petty and whiny.

    most people that know anything about FCS football realize in the last ten years half of the good 20 teams have left for FBS leaving about 10 good teams...of those 10 a few don't make because of auto bids that go to the likes of san diego and drake and savannah state that have no business  being in the playoffs (yes san diego has won its last wo playoff games i know)...wich means that the path to their "national championship" aint what it used to be which still isn't saying much anyways to the average college football fan that only follows FBS...("FCS champ? wasn't it mount union or st johns?)

    While I too hope that eventually UND can get to where NDSU is competitively. I just don't understand why there is so much bashing on the team. The fans, sure ... The media love, sure, but the team, they have pretty much earned the spot they are in. Talking about a cupcake side of the bracket ... really? They have basically dominated THE LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR, not sure why we need chalk up that kind of performance to weak opponents, especially from our vantage point at UND. It just like people talking about NDSU slipping before the season started; and now they are in another championship game, with a ridiculous recruiting class coming in. I think folks on this board need to take a little step back in the smack talk of NDSUs team or performance, and focus on our own guys. Lets face it, it is exactly where we want our team to be.

    I don't much care what NDSU is doing unless we play them next year, which I hope we do. It will mean we are in the playoffs and doing far better than this season.

    I am not a big Faison fan at all but he was totally between a rock and a hard place.  He wanted to fire Jones then (after the 15-16 season) but couldn't because of the budget crunch (he should have fired him a couple of years earlier).  He didn't want to extend him to a multi-year extension because he knew Jones wasn't a great coach.  He was forced to do so after last year because we had such a great year (thanks to the play of Q and the disciplined influence he had on the other players, especially Gino).  

    I truly don't believe we have lost any real talented players due to Jones not having a long term contract.  

    could be true....but the situation wasn't handled all that well...it will be a long year this year tho...

    And has his foot in the FBS door and a FBS school on his resume.

    two ways of looking at it...he could do what a guy like jim tressel did and build something with yourself leading or take a shot at herm edwards actually doing something other than being condescending during his press conferences.

    Not surprised. It just isn't UND Women's Basketball without at least 20 turnovers per game and Brewster pacing the sideline with that pained look on his face.

    That is how we roll. :silly:

    couldn't agree more...painful to watch sometimes...freje meet klabo...two person game last two minutes and we win
