This is the one I find most amazing. I wonder if there is any other team in any sport who could say this. Appreciate what this team has done and understand it is not easy no matter how easy they make it look.

TALON- You may be talking about most of your games and a lack of competition to NDSUs prowess on the field. Still, I've watched NDSU come from behind and win the game.
This shows great coaching and player skills. The Idea that NDSU doesn't lose its composure in a tight game and believes that if they are behind, they will still win. That has always impressed me!

Yes having better players than the other team makes comebacks much more likely

Both great players and the coaches that brought them to that point!
NDSU's FCS playoff record is 40-3 (.930)
NDSU has the second most playoff wins in FCS history (Georgia Southern is #1 at 45-13.)
NDSU actually had a chance to play Appalachian State in 2011 and 2012 but App lost their first playoff game (at home) both years.
NDSU, Georgia Southern, Youngstown State, and Marshall are the only four teams better than .750 in the playoffs.

Your math is correct.
Your math is correct.
Heck, could pass them, but it's a long shot. NDSU would have to make the playoffs without getting a seed and that would set up five potential playoff games.

I remember fantasizing about Trey Lance's '19 season. We would win out in the Valley, but due to an impossible set of circumstances going undefeated in the Valley wasn't good enough for a seed. Then blast through the playoffs.
17-0, first D1 team EVER to do it.

If the BV fan guide is up to date, then the upcoming game in Frisco will mean that NDSU has played in as many FCS playoff games as they did DII playoff games. Hard to believe so quickly. If the fan guide isn't updated during the year, then this already happened!

Oops, I read it wrong. There is already one more FCS playoff game than DII playoff game. Unreal.
Stats for the 2022 New Year:
Since 2000, the FCS playoffs have featured 95 different teams, 333 different matchups, and 11 different champions (Montana State could be the 12th.)
DII had 115 different teams, 367 different matchups, and 11 different champions despite regionalization.
Since 2010, NDSU has played 23 different teams in the playoffs in 43 total games. Alabama has only played 13 non-conference P5 teams (not just in the playoffs) in that time - a total of 24 games. NDSU has played 52 different DI teams in that same time.
And this is good news (IMO), but NDSU is scheduled to play three brand spanking new opponents next year: Arizona, Drake, and NC A&T. And, heck, if NDSU makes the playoffs, it might be more new teams.

95 different teams in the FCS playoffs is surprising. I would have guessed around 50.

During the Cotton Bowl, they showed a stat where Alabama has been ranked #1 in just over 47% of polls (AP I believe) since 2008. Which got me to wondering what % of polls NDSU has been #1 since 2011. I'm guessing or hoping that Tony will be able to answer that question.

Very surprising. The top is always the top, but the bottom half of the playoff field is pretty much a revolving door that half the division is in contention for any given year.

I want to know the longest stretch NDSU has been ranked #1. That win streak under Easton and Trey has to be up there...

Yeah, your first reaction might be "I didn't even know there were 95 teams from playoff conferences"... but I'm talking since 2000 so some teams have moved to FBS or their conferences have opted out.
Since NDSU first made the playoffs, 82 other teams have made the playoffs too... and 55 of them have at least one win. And when you think about it, you can kind of see it. I mean, how many MVFC, Big Sky, CAA, Southland, and SoCon teams have not made the playoffs? Dang few.

Hasn't every team in the Valley made one playoff appearance just in the last decade? Go back 20 years for all of FCS and getting to 95 teams isn't all that surprising really. Especially if you include a few of those teams aren't even FCS anymore.

I can't confirm for the Valley, but for sure no team remains at the bottom of our League forever. Remember when ISUb, South Dakota, and Misery State were considered bye weeks? They've all made the playoffs during our run. Hell even UN_ has been a seed.

I might have screwed up that weird spring season's rankings, but I have 300 #1 rankings (1 coach, 1 media.) NDSU is #1 in 158 of them (#1 79 times in the media poll, 79 times in the Coaches poll.) SHSU was ranked #1 45 times, JMU #42. No other MVFC team has had the #1 spot since the start of NDSU's run.
I think NDSU was ranked #1 31 consecutive times (that would include pre- and post-season polls) from the postseason poll in 2017 to losing to SIU in the spring of 2021.

If NDSU beats Drake in the series opener, the Bison football team's all-time winning percentage goes to .666 which is good.
Or is it? bwhahahahaha!

My first reaction to this thread was that I didn’t think most here even honored or respected Christmas anymore. I mean, why even bother having or holding to those values?

Why stop there, hippie? :) Why not round to one decimal to get us to .7? Or zero decimals to get us to 1?
By gosh, back when we celebrated Christmas the right way, we didn't use decimals at all (the Devil's Quibbles, we called them) and only expressed non-whole numbers as fractions with 144 as the denominator.
