Nothing that really affects UND or any of the conferences in the region but some FCS news. 

 

Looks like Campbell U in North Carolina will be announcing that they are going to begin offering football scholarships. They are currently non-scholarship and play in the Pioneer League. The team will be moving to the Big South Conference where Campbell is already a member for all other sports.

 

Also, Texas A&M Kingsville and Texas A&M Corpus Christi have tentatively agreed to merge into one school. TAMU-CC is DI in the Southland Conference but does not have football. TAMU-K plays football at the D2 level in the Lone Star Conference. The merged school would remain DI and intend to sponsor DI football. 

Texas A&M System regents to mull over merger

UND is a lock for the playoffs, not sure if they'll have enough momentum with the bye week next week to stay in the top 8.

We've won 9 in a row, and our only FCS loss is a close one on the road to a team who rolled a top 10 FCS Richmond. I think our resume is pretty good, and 9 wins in a row is impressive.

It is but as of this week we were still out of the top 8. The playoff committee and the rankings have consistently not given UND much credit so far. Do I think UND should be seeded? You bet. Do I think it'll happen when the final rankings are put out? I really don't know.

It'll be close, Chattanooga losing today should do it if you believe this weeks FCS Committee rankings. That'd move UND up to #9 this week. Final week #8 plays #5. If Central Arkansas loses to SHSU, UND should move up 1 more and finish #8. We'll see though.

Richmond lost today too, which was big since they were most likely #11 or #12. SDSU though I'm nervous about. They beat USD by 7 today and will play @ UNI next week. Could be enough to jump UND.

Remember, even if SDSU loses to UNI, it'll be a quality loss. And if SDSU wins it'll be considered a quality win.

UND should be about #5 in the final selection committee.

Undefeated and Champion of the toughest conference in the FCS.

9-1 FCS record overall and a 

9 game winning streak.

All without a bye

Bison fans on AGS are trying to make their cases for SDSU to be seeded in front of UND... I don't see that happening...

[F'n Hawks]

SDSU also still has to play UNI... But if they win it will be considered a quality win...

ISU up 3-0 on EWU

UNI sucks. They'd probably just barely be above Montana State in the Big Sky.

[Feff]

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.

They'd have 5 conference losses if they would've played UND.

Their arrogance is incredibly unwarranted.  Go Hawks!

Our schedule would be soft too if we had to play Montana.

Big Sky was a better conference head to head.   SDSU lost to a middle of the pack Cal Poly.  Weak argument.

They are trying to give the SEC excuse of "our conference is just so tough, every win is a quality win and every loss is a quality loss"
