nope.

They likely would have.  I don't think that is really a controversial statement.  This is a very good football team.

If they run the table again they are easily a top 25 team in the nation.

NDSU just has better players and coaches than anyone else in FCS......and it's not close.

28-0 now.

Do you think?  I also strongly feel that Alabama is better than most every other FBS team.  #sizzlinghottake

Will do, compadre.

I do believe that NDSU this year could’ve won C-USA for sure and possibly the sun belt and or MAC. Yet, I don’t believe even as good as they’re that they’d be a top 25 team. They’re really close though.

Entz seems to be the people’s choice if Kleiman does take an opportunity elsewhere.

Boise State and Fresno State are both Top 25 team this year. I have seen both play several times this year. They are not better than NDSU,

16,400, over 2,500 short of capacity for a quarterfinal game. Apparently winning solves attendance issues until you do it too much...

Next week will be full. If NDSU fans don't show up, SDSU will fill the dome. Not how I would like it filled, but it will be filled.

Boise and Fresno split the season. If NDSU played them they'd probably split too.

I would hesitate to bet against the bisons if these teams played this year.

Agree.  Those teams would be pretty evenly matched.

so if they play and beat....

montana state, colgate, south dakota state, and ewu/cal-davis that makes them a top 25 team in the FBS?

nope.

Well there you have it. Case closed. No point arguing with those facts.

Now factor in the additional scholarships they would get in the FBS. Its really not a big stretch considering weve already beaten numerous FBS teams already without the additional schollies.

The FCS playoff games have been drawing higher ratings than the Frozen Four for quite some time now. 

I'm a big football and hockey fan both and the NFL outdraws/generates revenue way more than NHL buy a huge margin so I'm not sure anybody should really be surprised by this.  Let's face it, while hockey may be bigger around the world than American football, that sure as hell ain't the case here in the states. 

[geaux_sioux]

If NDSU beats the Jacks I really hope EWU is waiting for them in Frisco.

Don't believe this logic. There are players who have offers from G5 or lower FBS schools that choose FCS as they bieve they have a better chance of winning chamlionships or more playing time. No guarentee if NDSU was G5 with extra schollies that they be any better, more likely to be worse

Carson Wentz and who else?  G5 means a whole scholarship plus the COE.  That normally beats out an FCS offer.
