I was thinking about this senior class' 14-1 career playoff record and how they basically played a full season (including a season's worth of playoff games) throughout their playoff careers and it got me wondering.

How dominant has NDSU been in the playoffs the last 3 years? They have more playoffs wins as a team than any other conference does collectively over that same time frame.

Playoff wins from 2011-2013
NDSU: 12
CAA: 10
SLC: 9
Big Sky: 8
SOCON: 6
Rest of the MVFC: 4

Add in 2010 and they've practically doubled up any other team in terms of playoff victories in that timeframe.

Playoff wins from 2010-2013
NDSU: 14
EWU: 8
GSU: 7
SHSU: 7
UNH: 4

On top of that the average score of a playoff game involving the Bison from 2010-2013 was 33 to 12. Pretty impressive stuff from this team. What a run it has been.

I guess that means the Bison aren't just the most dominant team in FCS, they're also the most dominant conference...

This is really a great stat.

This is awesome to show how we have dominated the playoffs. It is a testament to the benefits of getting in more quality reps and more practice makes for a better prepared team.
How have the MVFC teams faired vs FBS teams in the same time frame. And or how have these playoff winning teams faired?
