Not really.  SD has a better resume so far this year.  JMU, SD, NDSU.  Pretty common ranking from non-homers.

 Really? I haven't seen a single poll that ranks it that way. Not one.

BTW - take an honest look at USD's schedule so far. They've played 2 good teams: Western Illinois and Youngstown. With road wins over two top 10 FCS teams, NDSU actually has the better resume. Bowling Green is a bad FBS team.

Again, take an honest look at USD's schedule. Other than WIU and YSU it's not very good. NDSU's wins over EWU and YSU on the road are more impressive than anything USD has done. Indiana State is 0-6, UND is 2-5, Bowling Green is 1-6, and Drake is 3-3 in the Pioneer League.

Don't you love how immediately after the NDSU game these guys have to rush over here to our site, talk about self conscious lol 

Rush? We were stuck in traffic after the game. Just killing time.

Who would have guess that SDSU would lose at home to UNI by more than we did to Montana, not me.  Our season has been a wreck, decimated with injuries.  SDSU....had title hopes this year....they are unraveling.  But they will end up playing NDSU tight this year, and once again everyone will talk about how good SDSU is. 

I said weeks ago that I thought USD was the better team. I didn't receive much reaction from it at the time but it looks like I was onto something.

What do you consider the championship "round?"

i don't think anyone is arguing that hockey is more popular than football.

 The championship round...finals... whatever ya prefer.  Full disclosure, college wrestling is boring as hell.

That is awesome that you knew that stat off the top of your head and remembered it just so you could use it on here.  Or did you look it up in the 14 minutes it took you to reply? Stop it already with the "my man" comments like we are your buds. 

You don't like when people grab relevant info? Sorry my man. Would you prefer if I posted "I bet college wresting gets more viewers than hockey does"? You aren't my buddy... but you can bet I'll make an effort to refer to you as my man moving forward.

If "a good chunk" of NDSU commits are G5 caliber players, then maybe it's time for NDSU to move to the Big 12 or the MAC?

For the record, I do not think either UND or NDSU have any business being in FBS.

Just google growth in FM by the year 2050. As much as 350 thousand  population. Your a smart guy. What do I see that you don't? With that growth they want SU to be like Iowa or Oklahoma State. Why wouldn't' they. The plan is in place .

And plenty of room on campus for expansion too.

And that begs the question: 

Is being like Iowa etc better than being the top team in FCS.

What's the cost/benefit ratio? What will it cost to support an FBS team? Don't think that getting to a bowl game is it. MOST teams lose money going to bowl games. Yes it may look good for the  coach and to recruits, but it costs money to go to a game as most don't sell out and the teams MUST buy lots of tix.

So in 2050 they'll still be have less population than Sioux Falls will in 2050?

99.9% of Iowa fans would say yes.

No doubt, but they never won 5 FCS titles either. It's not bad being the big fish in the smaller pond.

SU will move up after UND beats them a few times. They're gonna need to run away from us like they did when we were whupping them in D2.

You and I both know that NDSU will not be playing for national titles in FBS. I don't think finishing 6-5 and going to the Whatever.com bowl is going to appeal to your fan base.

Isn't wrestling the fake sport, when they graduate from cawledge or quit, and go to the mat again?
