Marshall is the only G5 team ranked higher than NDSU and Notre Dame is the only independent ranked higher (by one spot) than NDSU.

And Marshall is only a few spots higher at 24 vs 32 for NDSU. Their record is nearly identical at 13-1 vs our 14-1, and their strength of schedule metric is almost the same as well at 59.05 vs 59.04.

I think Brock Spack mentions the day off (I think was Monday) in a story Found in Monday hot links on bison media blog, but mobile version does not show exact article link for copy paste.

I think Dom and Kolpack mentioned it in there last video blog. It could of been Monday off. I watched the blog today and assumed they were talking about today.

I figured he'd just wait to do one after tonight's game, but Sagarin did an update after the game on Saturday. We're at #32 now (79.78). Very minimal change from last week. I'm curious to see how much tonight's game affects our final rating for this season.

I think #32, is probably about dead right on the quality of this team. It would be really cool is anyone could comb back through this thread and put up how NDSU finished in 2011, 12, 13, and 14 for comparison's sake. Of course, in past years, use the predictor if you are willing to dig them out.

I'm not at my computer, or I'd do it right now, but Sagarin has archives from past years on his site. Pretty easy to look up on there if you're so inclined.


FWIW - Massey has us at #35.

Last year's Sagarin was 17.

Just ran national sports rankings.com. 2014(home) vs 2013 Bison teams. 2013 won 58 of 100 with a score of 22-20
