Then a bit of a tough stretch with Boise State, SDSU, WIU, NDSU and UNI. 4-3 minimum heading into the home stretch. 5-2 or better would be very nice. What’s important is UND just wins. Beat Boise State in Boise? Would be nice. Beat NDSU in Grand Forks to further hurt the bizon’s feelings? Awesome. Defeat defending champs in Brookings? Tough but not impossible. These should be the goals, not where UND is ranked to start the year. This whole poll watching crap is petty. 1 Quote

The point is, we've seen how hard it is to crack the polls if you don't start in them. Like it or not, that kind of thing is taken into account later in the year. 5 Quote

SiouxFan100 Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Of course winning matters Polls reflect that winning matters Of course polls matter of course where you start the year in the polls matters There is no pairwise in football Quote

If UND started the season ranked 10-20 last year, we would have had a home game vs Weber guaranteed. Would have been much harder to place UND in Ogden if they were ranked higher. Pre season polls at the fcs level have a huge baring on the end of year rankings - placements are incredibly sticky. 1 Quote

With all the corruption that exists with Fargo Ag U, you just need to win. UND will lose the NCAA political game, they have time after time before, and it’s clear and obvious now. Polls are included in this scheme. Quote
Kab Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Raise your hand if you trust the nc$$ or anyone in administration at ndsu when it comes to being fair toward UND even if we are higher in the polls we could just as well bend over when it comes to the nc$$ Quote
90siouxfan Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Wonder if these AI bot things would make a footsball pairwise tool? Quote

Dustin Posted October 9, 2023 Posted October 9, 2023 Don't really want to go back through this whole thread, but what poll/ranking system is generally agreed upon to be best? It seems like this thread is not getting much discussion this year. Quote

Yep, our body of work so far this year.....beating Drake, NAU, and WIU and losing the way we did in the other two....in no way warrants #7 IMO. Hopefully after Saturday that will be warranted. Quote
