Most years yes but not this year - MVC is a little down this year.

In terms of total teams making playoffs, yes, but committee still put the top 2 MVFC teams ahead of the undefeated in conference BSC team. That says something in terms of MVFC vs BSC head to head.

Let’s see how the big sky and mvfc do in the playoffs 

UND vs Weber could be telling 

I thought Youngstown would get in - plenty of disappointment and pissed off folks there I imagine 

Our defense is just so bad. I don’t see it. Weber is gonna have athletes all over the field and torch us all game long. Our only hope is likely to grind it out on the ground which is not out MO.

Big Sky got 5 teams in MVFC got 3 in, and unfortunately I can tell you from first hand knowledge that the 3rd MVFC team in is quite bit far behind the other two MVFC teams that are in.......

 

UND played one BSC team this season; they won. UND finished 3rd in MVFC behind overall #1 and #3 seeded teams. You could argue depth, but the best conference is the MVFC.

Pretty much every offense is a bad matchup for the UND defense.......

Least there won't be Tentgate......

Tradition and history of a program matter. Griz have it. UND doesn't.

It's an argument with merits both ways. 

Personally I feel the Big Sky is stronger from top to bottom most years.

I would take Montana St on a neutral field this year against either XDSU, but that's just me.

Touchdown Tommy if healthy is the difference 

[Wilbur]

Alright.  Weber.  Their 6'3 QB doesn't run for a ton.  Completes about 60 percent of his passes.

They've got the top ranked defense in the Big Sky and the 5th ranked offense according to Google.

I'll say 33-21 Weber, and a what could of been off-season.

Montana State vs NDSU on a neutral field could very well happen

It’s not that complicated or far-fetched, even. You just need to reach out to the boosters (season ticket holders) and ask for additional donation prior to bid submission. Was that done? Of course not. Failure by Chaves and the entire department.

[petey23]

Are we pretending that when the selection committee is comparing the resumes of the bubble teams that the bid the schools put in to host the game doesn't trump the actual analytics?

[SIOUXFAN97]

Hey mr chipman you wanna help out und football

[shep]

Do we know he didn't make a bid? Or we just assume he didn't?

I have to believe that is how Montana got in this year.  They don't have a great resume, but the committee KNOWS that they probably submitted the best bid of any school in the country.

Chaves?

He bid.  Just not enough.  Probably not even close to enough.

Did UND reinstate the Fighting SIoux nickname? If we kept the Sioux name we wouldn’t be allowed to host playoff games, that was the big selling point. Looks like we still can’t get home games for some reason.

Burnt some bridges apparently. NDSU with their AD on the committee probably doing some burning also. 

[Rebel_Sioux]

Here's a thought, the NCAA shouldn't entertain bids regardless. The better team should just host.
