I agree with that. As playoff committee is going to look at the season as a whole. Where rankings sometimes depend on your last few games. If we beat SDSU pretty easily, I think we will be at least considered for top 8.

Depending on how rest of the year goes, there could be a couple of coaching changes in the off season. There won't be any though mid-season. I get the frustration of a few who said the OC should be gone by Monday, zero chance that was gonna happen or even during the rest of the season.

A long time friend from High School who went to NDSU and has SU season tickets said our defense is annoying, which is of course a compliment. We were texting some during the game....he said he felt like we were a top tier team the way we were playing. Win the next two, and hopefully still be on opposite side of the bracket as NDSU.

Unfortunately I have to agree. Defense played a monster game, we aren't holding them to 15 again in the Fargodome. NDSU is the better overall team, but we had a chance for the upset and blew it. If we played them in the Fargodome in the playoffs, I dont think its as close as last Saturday. That said, we have proven we can play well on the road under Schmidt, so not saying we couldnt win, but I sure wouldn't be betting on it.

I know Im crazy, but Im still holding out hope that we finally win one of these close ones in the playoffs against a good team. Need to win the next two first.

When they run blitz off the edge because everybody in the building knows the play call....that is on the OC. Before the snap I was like, are we really going to run the QB keeper up the right side again? I was wondering, maybe there is a wrinkle built into thus formation. Nope, same exact f'ing play as we ran the previous 4th down.

Poor scouting to not have our OL be ready for the SU DL shift. We had 3 false starts....in our own building due to this. Did they not see this in film, and maybe have the scout team due this in practice so they were used to it??

Yeah, in a game like this.....needs to be loud on every down.

Yes he will be back by the time we play them is what I understand.

The thing is, you have to look at the other teams in the top 25 and compare strength of schedule, eye test etc.. No moral victories today. That said, I doubt any other team in the country can play NDSU within 5 points. Maybe the Montana's....that's about it.

I have love/hate with Fruechte. I think he is quite good at times. But cant help call him out on that first and goal and pathetic 4th down repeat call at mid field.

Well then you and every other pollster, or normal headed FCS fan disagree, we are a top 25 team. The good wins we had against good teams, we kicked their ass so we didnt need a big 4th quarter comeback.

You think those 2 loss teams in the creampuff conferences are better than us, ok.

That 4th down playcall at mid field was worse than the reverse against Richmond. Same formation and same play they just ran a few minutes earlier in exact situation. I was screaming WTF before the ball was even snapped. Unbelievable. Might be the most pathetic offensive play call in UND history, but Im sure there are worse. Obviously the fake punt a few years ago is about the same though. Glad our coaches sh*t the bed in big games after putting themselves in good position. Great game by the Defense though.

You know nothing if you dont think this is a top 25 team. Please names the 25 teams ghat arw better. Just flat out stupid statement. But I get it, we are all pissed right now.
