Check fcs compughter rankings.  UND is 15

This is fake polling.  They Montana at 27 and UNI at 34.  Lol

Massey has us at 30 moving up from 41.

Simply don’t care about FCS polls, the most blatant political polling known to man.

But the win is huge when it comes to the playoffs and seeding.

This is what we deal with  from the griz board.

This is exactly why I don't think UND is going to be ranked..  UND just needs to keep winning.

Montana is my favorite team to see lose, other than NDSU.  But I almost wish they would have won so that when we beat them in our house it looks better for us.  Hopefully Weber St. keeps winning, that will be a big game.

As we exit the Big Sky I want nothing more than to leave those teams with bad tastes in their mouths.

I hear you there! I'm assuming EWU is on our schedule next year, we need a win against them too before we are gone.

Montana Griz Football is by far the biggest bark with the least amount of bite.

UND has been in the FCS playoffs more recently than Montana.

UND has won the Big Sky conference more recently than Montana.

Montana hasn't even won the Big Sky conference in 7 to 9 years depending on whether you count them getting caught cheating or not.

No reason to believe Montana will (finally) be good this year.

[CMSioux]

No doubt the Montana school's fans thought UND would never be a threat, the 2016 sweep was very sweet.

[FSSD]

I thought that the 2016 Championship did not count because of the soft unbalanced schedule?!?!

It's the one we win this year that won't count.

[UND-FB-FAN]

When you beat a top 5 team on the road, and you are undefeated against FCS competition (2-0), you should be a top 25 team. Idiotic if UND doesn’t at least make #25 in polls.

All in all, though, UND needs to just keep winning and that will get them in the polls. 

[bincitysioux]

I think  we should be a top 25 team heading into this week.  

Check out the Hero Sports computer rankings.  They go by BennettRanks.  Not unlike Massey and Sagarin.  Updated twice daily, currently have UND at 34...........

[MoSiouxFan]

I think that UND jumps somewhere into the 21-23 range.

[Parkers Pros]

Respect is earned not given. As easy and frustrating it is to feel disrespected, we need to prove it was not luck. They don’t see what we see, take the time to go in-depth and breakdown the coaches and players. We put together some quality wins and we will climb the polls. This is a huge win, now we need to follow it up!

There are several schools in the. top 25 with losing records and no history of winning a conference championship in the past two years. We pulled a major upset and are 2-1 if we are not ranked it just adds to the sad politics of college sports.

After victory at SHSU, and the first 3 quarters @ UW, UND is definitely a top 15 FCS team.  Probably will not work that way in the polls though.  

[Siouxphan27]

I’m surprised no ndsu football experts have explained the ins and outs of polling methods to us yet.  

Even during the Gameday thread, those very same experts disappeared when UND took the lead in the first half.  Imagine that. 

[The Sicatoka]

I hope the team is more worried about Idaho State than some silly, made-up, guestimate poll number. 

 

Massey (not a poll, an analytic comparison tool) has UND moving up. That's a good trend to maintain.

In the post game interview with Bubba he mentioned that the team needed to enjoy it but move on to next week so I'm hoping he gets them focused on ISU...like yesterday.

[OgieOgilthorpe]

Hopefully the boys don't care about it too much, but we all know they look at it and care about getting respect from the rest of the league. I honestly think that they'll crack the top 25, but would not be surprised if they just show up as "receiving votes". I actually hope they do not end up cracking the top 25, because that would definitely piss them off and the coaches would use that no-respect showing as fuel this week to kick ISU's ass even worse. I honestly think that fuel is needed, because this week scares me knowing how teams typically play after a big win like this. Reminds me of the ISU game 2 years ago at home that 100% kept UND out of the playoffs. 

[Hambone]

Unfortunately as it relates to polls, slot voting is how most people do it and the entire resume isn't completely looked at.  I vote in the AGS poll, and I've got the Hawks in mine.  I'm guessing that UND will show up in the AGS poll, but may not in the others.  In either case - polls don't matter and the team shouldn't get caught up in them.  They should just continue to play their game and win.....the rest will take care of itself.

[gundy1124]

We have to beat the Griz after the bye week.  For some reason, that carries a lot of weight.  5-1 and we'll be fine in the polls.

What time are the polls usually released?
