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.

Remember when Montana fans were criticizing UND for it's soft schedule? Well Montana now has four conference losses, to Cal Poly, NAU, EWU, and now Northern Colorado. 3 of those teams UND beat.

Wow, the hate from many of you guys for this coach is palpable.  I'm trying to figure out what he did to you.  I know he was at UMD but his success there was pretty much after we were both gone from D

The greatest benefit to the State was having all of you in Texas for a few days.  Fargo was so much more enjoyable.

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,

Expand  

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

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

Expand  

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.

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. 

Expand  

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.

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.

Why would they be more likely to be worse when the schollies give you more depth.  Fact is we are pretty good now. Dont see how adding depth will make us worse.

Recruits like to play for championship programs.  NDSU has a great niche carved out for kids who want to play for championship programs.  That allure changes when NDSU turns into a G5 team playing for a chance to play in a low level bowl, and zero shot at a championship.  I could see the fans become disengaged at that point as well.  Playoffs > one-off bowl game.  That said, NDSU could turn into the next Boise State.  Don't really see that happening though.

Very good points. Playing for championship as opposed to bowl games is a big topic of concern amongst  some of our fan base. I personally dont care for the low level bowl games. I do love the playoff season.

 

BTW---USA has NDSU at # 20 in all of college football.

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

I honestly don't think anyone is going to touch the Bison. SDSU is probably the only team with half a chance. They ground Colgate into the ground on Saturday. It was impressive.

I am not seeing them in this poll. Is this the one you're talking about?

No it was Sagarin that was in USA today.

Expand  

Sagarin is a computer algorithm and it isn't done by USA Today, they just host the listing on their site. It has admitted issues when connecting and comparing FCS/FBS teams as there are so few games between the teams (a little over 100 this year) and trying to tie together 255 teams.
