And then NCAA will screw us (again) like they did in 2015.

Control what's yours to control. 

UND failed miserably at doing that more than once this season. If they would've exercised control over what was theirs to control, they'd still have some control. 

That said, all that is under UND's control right now is the will to ...

BEAT NORTHERN ARIZONA.

That's what you get when you cede control to someone else.

I obviously agree (and no one is disagreeing) that UND needs to beat Northern Arizona. 

However, like 2015, UND already dug itself a hole in the NCAA’s eyes by losing games they should’ve won. No complaining if UND is overlooked by the NCAA FCS playoff committee.

I will say, though, that at least this UND team hasn’t lost to a 2-9 team like they did in 2015. That helps.

Don't forget the "quality loss" to Washington

At least one pair plays each other so some are guaranteed. WIU plays ISUb.

Yes a 5-5 vs "D1 Competition" won't make the playoffs.

If Indiana State wins they certainly have a case for the playoffs...same with WIU if they win.

Agreed ISU looking good with Weber win. 6-2 vs fcs competition. 

Good point about them playing two FBS teams.

Just a 3-7 one 

Awful to lose to Idaho. I won't be surprised if UND doesn't make it. Didn't earn a guaranteed spot. But our bubble resume really isn't any worse than other bubble team resumes. They're all on the bubble for a reason.

Yes.

Most, if not all, of us agree that the Idaho game will be the difference maker if UND beats NAU but still doesn’t get in to the playoffs. Not to mention the fashion that UND lost to Idaho ...

I still firmly believe a couple UND coaches should lose their job as DI football coaches as a result of that debacle.

Playoffs or not, Rudy and Kostich should not be coaching spring ball in Grand Forks.

I'd love to argue more, but I got warned for being abusive towards you guys, so I have to tone it down.

MVFC bias. UND's independent status (no one in UND's corner at the selection meeting). Still think UND gets snubbed, no matter Saturday's outcome.

 Pretty sure conference reps leave the room or cant talk about their own teams.

[Longtime fan]

As much as I want und to make the playoffs ....the coaches are not playoff worthy.  No way Rudy should be still he a und employee. Rudy should be handed his walking papers today than und can promote a positional coach, freund, for the game against NAU and potentially playoffs.  Anything, ANYTHING ....would be better than Rudy.  I would have to believe that  a freund run offense would be able to generate more than (3) 1st downs in the second half vs a team like port st.     Let Kostich coast out the year and than hand him his papers. 

[LeaveNoDoubt]

You guys can’t let a 5th year Bizen fan get to you. He’s just here to troll and go back and try brag to his buddies on how he got someone mad. He’s not here to add good conversation.   

Now far as my opinion on the playoff scenario. Yes we need to win the NAU game first, after that I’m not gonna try predict what the committee will do. I will be happy with a playoff berth obviously, do I honestly think this team deserves it? No. It’s not because of the players, it’s the headsets and the guy sitting up in the booth on a chair with a 6 pack of crayons.

Good thing is they play each other this week.  One of those teams guaranteed to be 6-5.
