Bison and the under is 3 for 3.

Ndsu opened 3 and 56 today at the Westgate in Vegas

Still at 3 and moved to 54

So nothings changed

I know the final rankings won't come out until tonight's game is over. Our most recent ranking was 51. Any thoughts on where we finish the year? Do we break in to the 30s or stay in the 40s?

Doubt one game would change it that much. JSU was what, like 71st if I recall?
Shouldn't change things much. If it had been a top 20 FBS team then maybe you'd see some real
moves.

SWAG:
So we were favored by 4.5 and won by 27. That's a 22.5 point difference. Attribute half to NDSU, that's 11.25. But it is one of 15 data points so divide and the estimated impact is around 0.75 Sagarin points. A guess at NDSU's new rating could be something like 75.26 which would be good for 47th on the last ratings issued.

We can gain a few more fractional points by having Auburn throttle Clemson.

I say we fall somewhere around 36.

Seriously, it just came out. 36.
21. Houston
35. Western Kentucky

Those are the two G5 schools ahead of NDSU. ISUr is the next FCS team at 76.

Today we would be just short of 8 point underdogs to Iowa in Kinnick Stadium.

So neutral field, we would be 2.5 point dogs to Auburn. Confirmed what I was guessing coming into the finals that we could very well be better than Auburn right now, or at a minimum, are very similar quality.
