UND @ Murray State

[fightingsioux4life]

UND hits the road to play winless (Bill) Murray State. The backups had better be in the game by the second half. UND will take out their frustrations of the past two weeks on the hapless Racers.

UND wins 45-14

Need to play like our season is on the line because it is

Hang 50 on them with no injuries and call it a day.

Hopefully this game will be just what the doctor ordered to regain the mid-season mojo heading into the SDSU game.

You must be hitting the sauce early today?

USD is many times better than (Bill) Murray State.

Great scheduling for what this team needs right now, to get back on track with a big win and build confidence. Come home and close out the season with a big win. In the eyes of the playoff committee we are 6-3 and it has been said by past committee members that an FBS win can help a team but an FBS lose has no impact (so he said). Also not having su's Larson on the committee anymore to lowball UND will help. 8-3 FCS record will have us in the middle of the pack for playoffs and a good chance for a home game.

Speaking of playoffs and seeding, are there 16 teams seeded, with 1-8 getting a bye and then a home game, and 9-16 getting a home game on the first weekend?

This is correct. For this reason, with UND being ranked a top 16 team if they win their next two, UND would host a playoff game over Thanksgiving weekend at the Alerus Center. Have to beat Murray State first. That’s step one, and go from there.

So no bidding for home games anymore, correct?

Hope the team has turned the page. Still a ton of things possible to accomplish! Team needs to find a way to start playing their best football right now. This week would be a great time to get Bennett Walker back. 

[Dustin]

One last question on the playoffs/seeding - is it a straight bracket, or are teams re-seeded after the first weekend?

[AJS]

Playoff mode.

Win big, get Jerry his confidence back.

Agreed, need to flip the script from the Bubba era and start playing out best football at this time of year.

I looked at the past couple brackets, and that does appear to be the case.
