North Dakota lost to SDSU today to finish 7-5 overall, 7-4 vs. the FCS, has two currently-ranked wins (YSU, SIU), played the No. 2 SOS, and has multiple close losses to highly-ranked teams. UND’s SOS and two ranked wins lead to a nod over 8-win teams like New Hampshire and Lafayette. The committee in the past has said it tries to get the best teams in. UND is the best team for this last spot.
