darell1976 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 8-4 is the only way UND makes the playoffs this season unfortunately. Realistically, i see them finishing 6-6. And yes, the MVFC is the best in the FCS by far this year. the big sky can NOT play defense. which makes me very, very excited for next season with most of this defense returning. UND can play a MVFC style of play in the Big Sky and EWU, UM, MSU won't know what hit them. UND's 2015 schedule @ Wyoming vs Drake @ NDSU vs UC Davis @ PSU vs ISU @ WSU @ Montana vs MSU vs UNC @ Cal Poly Looking at the way this team is improving I see maybe 4 losses at the most on the schedule. Wyoming, NDSU, Montana, Cal Poly (but even that could change depending on the offense and how we do in that Wyoming game). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWSiouxMN Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 UNI was 7-5 last year, they beat a Big 12 team and crushed a seeded playoff team. Hard to have a stronger resume then that, instead the committee went with powder puff South Carolina State who beat nobody of significance. Who was the Big 12 team UNI beat again?

IMO UND will make the playoffs next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were 3-5 in the MVFC, that I am sure was part of them not being in the playoffs finishing 8th in the standings, even behind South Dakota. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2011BisonAlumni Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Iowa State. The Powerhouse of the Big 12. Until UND beats an FBS team, I suggest you try not to diminish a win of an FCS team over any FBS team. Hell, maybe start with trying to win a game against a ranked FCS team. Last time I checked, your team has 1 of those....ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyoming, NDSU, Montana, Cal Poly (but even that could change depending on the offense and how we do in that Wyoming game). You need to add Montana State to your list. I don't know what they're returning, but they're good every year. And UND barely beat PSU at home this year. Yes, we expect UND to be better next year, but you can't rule out a loss @PSU. The bottom line is that even though EWU is off, it's still a very tough schedule and UND will have to improve quite a bit to make the playoffs next year.

UND has a solid chance of going 7-5; that wouldn't mean playoffs in 2014, but likely playoffs in 2015. Montana State at home and Portland State on the road are unbeatable? Did you watch this year's games vs the Montana schools? UND is not in a position anymore to just write-off a chance of winning against certain conference teams; Bubba essentially already has UND in a position to play with every BSC team.

jdub27 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I see 6-5 maybe 5-6 with that schedule. Just curious what your prediction would have been before the season started this year? Going to go out on a limb a guess UND has already equaled or surpassed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say Montana State and Portland State are not winnable games. UND could certainly beat Montana State and Portland State next year, but they could also lose them. They are not certain wins, as Daryl was suggesting in his post. By the way, I'm also hoping for playoffs next year despite the really hard schedule.

bang Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 So how many ranked FCS teams has UND beat again? If memory serves me right. I believe we beat Souther Utah on the road when they were ranked. As well as Cal Davis. Not bragging just simply giving facts. I really don't need you to respond to this either.

UND almost pulled it out with a Muss led team in 2013 at PSU, we will be a lot better than that in 2015, and I think MSU is beatable at home with an improved UND team especially improved offense. Remember next year Bubba's players start to filter in and Muss's players start to filter out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember next year Bubba's players start to filter in and Muss's players start to filter out. Considering the defense is pretty much all Mussman recruits outside of Hinojosa and Tillman (and a few true freshman sprinkled in), not sure what your point on the last part is other than continuing to have to bring up Mussman? He was a very good OC in his time year, not so much as a head coach but probably time to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
