It’s just a broken record at this point. Home playoffs year after year … pure b*llshit

NDSU has won a helluva a lot of regular-season games on the road to earn those home playoff games. That's the way it works...win in September, October and November and you'll be at home in December. If you don't like seeing them at home in the playoffs all you have to do is beat them.

Bison should have been going to brookings. Actually. They should never have been moved ahead of Montana State. 

The Bracket was set up for NDSU to be on the road in the semis. They are at home because IW upset Sac State not because the seeding was wrong.

Holy Cross QB is gonna make SDSU work for it. SDSU very well could still win, but could be a good ball game. 
 

again, things potentially setting up for another NDSU layup … unreal 

The reality is there are only 1-2 teams at the FCS level that can compete with ndsu. Home or away doesn’t matter. FCS just isn’t that competitive. Ndsu is a shell of its former self and outside of a very small group of teams, nobody can put up a legitimate fight regardless of the location of the game.

Obviously NDSU is good so they earn most of what they get. But that doesn’t mean the bison should get special treatment by the committee. They don’t sometimes deserves the advantages the committee gives them. 

They were set up to play on the road in the semis, sac state lost. There’s no advantage here. You think they should have been on the road in the quarterfinals?

Again, follow the money.

The committee knows if the Bison are headed to Texas they will fill the stadium. That's a lot of fans and a lot of money.

Of course, they get preferential treatment. They earned it.

What preferential treatment? Flip ndsu with Montana state if you think that should have happened. You have the same outcome. Ndsu was set up to play a road game in the semis, just as they would have as the 4 seed. If sdsu loses today and montana state is at home for the semis, that isn’t their fault or some sort of advantage that was given to them. Sac state had their chance and blew it.

Nice to see that the bozoville goons have congregated over here to defend ag school football … never fails 

Please…

You make ridiculous claims in the hope that it’ll start a controversy and ndsu fans will show up and then you bitch when they do.

Don’t act like ndsu fans commenting here wasn’t what you hoped for.

Agreed, but I don’t think it has all been fairly earned.
 

Corruption 

Nonsense. NDSU lost by a combined total of 5 points to a P5 team and to the #1 rated FCS playoff team...should, or at least could, have beaten both of them. A very good case could be made for them as the #2 overall seed. If not for a slew of injuries, they would be the odds on favorite to win again in Frisco. They may be anyway.

Congrats! Now look at Montana St. resume and tell me why NDSU jumped them on the last day of the season. 

Keep this in mind, the Missouri Valley Conference was very, very, very down this year....

If those two teams are flipped, nothing changes. This is the oddest argument I’ve ever heard.
