The dog dies. Just like the UND football program under Bubba

Ok...now you've gone too far.

No one should ever talk of a dog dying on this site.

I don't envy the selection committee seeding 2-4.

FBS
NDSU 5pt loss to 16/18 Colorado (8-2)
USD 14pt loss to NR Wisconsin (5-5)
SDSU 24pt loss to NR Oklahoma St (3-7)
 

FCS
NDSU 4pt win over SDSU at home
SDSU 3pt win over USD at home in OT
USD 1pt win over NDSU at home

USD minus one game vs. Port St because of whooping cough

[The Sicatoka]

USD may have just claimed a top two seed. 

[Big Green]

Won’t happen, but UC Davis should be 2 seed.  Only FCS lose is to #1 seed.  
 

I would go

mt st

uc davis

ndsu

sdsu

usd

You also need to factor in D2 wins for the two SD schools.  I think MSU gets the 1, NDSU gets the two, SDSU three and USD the four.

I could see UCD sneaking in somewhere for the same reason.

Mont St    12-0, 1 FBS win(4pts over 5-6 UNM), 9 FCS wins, 0 FCS losses, 3 ranked FCS wins(UM, UCD, Idaho)
NDSU    10-2, 1 FBS loss(5pts to 16/18 8-2 Colorado), 10 FCS wins, 1 FCS loss(ranked-away-1pt), 3 ranked FCS wins(SDSU, ISUr, MSU*)
SDSU    10-2, 1 FBS loss(24pts to 3-7 OK St), 9 FCS wins, 1 FCS loss(ranked-away-4pts), 2 ranked FCS wins(USD, MSU*)
USD    9-2, 1 FBS loss(14pts to 5-5 Wisc), 7 FCS wins, 1 FCS loss(ranked-away-3pts - OT), 1 ranked FCS win(NDSU)
UCD**    9-2, 1 FBS loss(18pts to 5-5 Cal), 9 FCS wins, 1 FCS loss(ranked-home-2pts), 2 ranked FCS wins(UM, Idaho)

*Missouri St is not ranked in all FCS polls because of the FBS transition
**UCD has one game left tonight(Sac St)

I'm using current rankings, not what the opponents were ranked at the time of the games.

All records are current as I'm posting this. Several of the FBS opponents have games in progress or later tonight.


The only spot I'm certain of is Mont St at #1.

Yeah that is gonna be tough. Out of the Dakota schools, based on that, NDSU might deserve to be rated the highest of that 3 way tie.

mt st

ndsu

sdsu

usd

 

3 of the top 5  potential seed teams are Dakotas.  Und?   Nope .  Trying to win road games yet 

[Stand4Anthem]

Mt St

NDSU

DAVIS

SDSU

USD/Idaho St—-5/6

NDSU had the toughest SOS in FCS which gives them the 2–committee will try and setup non conf semis possibly? None of the 2-5 should bitch too much—all had chances but didn’t win when needed—SD schools non D1 wins will hurt them I believe and push them to 4 and 5/6

[forksandspoons]

Regardless of how the seeds end up, it is pure comedy watching NDSU rubes like Herder and Dom try to pretend they’re objective while putting a spin on today’s loss. Some years it matters when the loss happens and others it doesn’t lol

Giving ndsu a 2 seed over a team that they lost to in the last week of the year is the definition of stupidity.. SOS is similar.. u sound like Somebody arguing the pairwise in hockey.. 

should be simple.. Montana st the #1.. usd just beat #1.. so now they are #2.. the rest doesn’t really matter

[Und246]

Don’t forget the bison won a non conference game they should have lost. Very very lucky.

FU ndsu , they got the number 2 

[UND-FB-FAN]

Montana State with #1 seed and NDSU gets #2 seed. SDSU #3 and South Dakota with #4.

could be big time semi-final games, but NDSU again gifted with home games though out playoffs is tough …   Potential SDSU @ NDSU in semifinal would be a big rematch from regular season … tough to win in the dome though. Hate that NDSU is again and again gifted with home playoff games …

[gfhockey]

USD got jobbed. They got the und treatment

Better SoS, but I don't think anyone could have complained if they were 3 or 4.

[F'n Hawks]

NDSU with free trip to the semis. Likely will be Mercer in the quarters 

[gfhockey]

Yup ndsu never gets jobbed

Gifted isn’t the right word. Could have swapped 2,3,4 in any order and nobody would really have a strong complaint. SDSU can’t jump NDSU with the head to head and usd can’t jump sdsu with their head to head. The D2 wins were the difference I’d imagine.

It was gifted. It terms of recency, strong arguments for USD and SDSU to be higher than NDSU. USD beat NDSU head-to-head just yesterday and SDSU is most recent back-to-back national champions. Sure, I understand those aren’t the “criteria”, but still crap that NDSU and their arrogant asshole fans are again *gifted* with more home games.

Earned not gifted. Your anti ndsu bias is clouding your judgement. Ndsu had the best strength of schedule in the country and didn’t have a D2 win.
