Non-UND FCS Thread

[UNDBIZ]

Montana all over Idaho. Hopefully the committee remembers what we did to the griz if we manage to win next week.

Using this one.

What's the consensus, is that more important than the other polls or just another one? Obviously FCS doesn't use an RPI type system, but does the selection committee usually mirror that one?

Are we looking at different polls? I see 26th STATS

That's the old one (week prior) before the loss to Idaho.

[F'n Hawks]

Montana is absolutely destroying Idaho...

Idaho St down 27-10 now  with 9min to play. Do we want them to win? At this point I’m hoping we’re the only team that wins a game this weekend.

[geaux_sioux]

34-10 Poly. 

 

 

[SiouxVolley]

The CAA has six teams with three losses that can potentially qualify.  But two can be knocked out next weekend, as Elon plays Maine and James Madison against Towson.  But Stony Brook and Delaware can lose too.  

The Southern Conference might get three, but the Southland and OVC don’t deserve even one ( but they have autobids).

The good thing is UND hasn’t been blown out by an FCS school yet.  Other four or five loss teams have been.

Good call, the NCAA website should probably update that.

[geaux_sioux]

@gundy1124 our boy, Smokin Joe Proethroe had 250+ on 40 carries tonight. 

[Longtime fan]

Man this will be a bad loss for Idaho st.  Should kick them out of playoff contention.

Insanity. McNeese just got eliminated too. Just lost to Northwestern State in double OT.

Both JMU and Towson are in, they are playing for a seed. Elon might be in some trouble though since they had a cancelled game but the comittee might show them some mercy. CAA clearly going to get at least five in. 

I think the big game for UND next week is really Montana-MSU. You have the trump card on the griz.

Only Smokin Joe, and about 200 other college running backs, are capable getting 250 yards on 40 fullback dives.

Incredible.

I'm not sure on the strength of schedules of some of these leagues.

Next week you have:

McNeese (6-4) playing Lamar (6-4)

Montana (6-4) playing Montana State (6-4)

UWI (6-4) is playing Iowa State on 12/1 (make up game for Iowa State)

Chattanooga plays South Carolina

Assuming South Carolina beats Chattanooga, not sure what to make of UWI's schedule, but I'm counting them out. The other two I mentioned are loser out games. Dartmouth can't make the playoffs, San Diego is already in. Alcorn is #38, but not sure what kind of league they play in. UND looks to have a legitimate shot IF they win next week.

Just how large is Doug Burgum's fortune?   I thought when Great Plains was sold to Microsoft, Doug's brother had a larger stake in Great Plains than Doug did?  His brother (name escapes me) is a UND Grad and on or was on the UND foundation board.  Might see an on campus stadium in GF before a new one in FGO???

That's what I am thinking as well.  UND has to be <shutters> Griz fans

The Big Sky rep being the Montana's AD definitely adds an extra layer to the drama that will unfold. Digging into all three teams schedules, I would say Montana State (w/ win against Idaho) would have a better resume than UND if both were at 7-4, since it's basically even outside of that. 

Let's go Griz!

One of their wins is also against a bad D2 team.

Apparently PSU's defense is beatable....

[CMSioux]

Remind me about the time anyone said they were satisfied with our offence against Portland State.

I went to bed when it was 14 to 7. I thought PSU was doing alright. 

Didn’t expect to wake up to this. 

[UND1983]

EWU scored 74 vs PSU on the road.  We scored 17 at home.  

Be interesting to see if UND is "satisfied" with their offense after the season is over.
