Also fun to browse are the Massey consensus rankings (averaging several human and computer polls for all FCS teams). UND is currently #39 after Saturday's win.

not a big fan of this. I have a tough time believing that 7-3 shsu will get a seed, or that 3 big sky teams, one of which is 9-2, will get a seed, with 11-0 lehigh (who admittedly does not deserve a seed, but will likely get one) 10-1 stony brook, and a potential 10-1 or 9-2 caa champ out there.

shsu might not even make the playoffs, they will only have 7 wins, with multiple other 7 win teams from tougher conferences on the bubble.

interesting what a couple of blowout losses can do... UND has lost only to ranked teams and an FBS team, yet Sac State and UNI get votes . UND gets none.

Also - SD State not getting a lot of love for being 2nd in the MVFC.
