Idc what conference they get... just get there and win.

The 12 team playoff as currently proposed is not happening.

Laramie is more beautiful than Fargo……..

If the Mountain West members wanted NDSU they would already be in the conference

That's a bold statement. What's your evidence for this?

interesting, I was unaware that looks of the country side is a pre requisite for conference membership? Learn something new everyday

Boise St is the catalyst for all of this.

AAC & MWC fans both want to absorb each other. LOL

Also, there were reports a week or two back that the 12 team playoff was dead in the water for now. I think it needs a unanimous vote, and one or two of the committee members openly said they weren't willing to vote for it after the Texas and Oklahoma announcement.

What's up down south?

I mean this is true but the mindset has to change a bit if we did end up in the FBS. You can’t run through the MAC and win each game by 7-13 points each game. You will not get much consideration in rankings unless you somewhat blow out the competition. Obviously wins agains big P5 schools are a main factor but can’t sleep walk through a MAC schedule and expect to get love for it even if you are undefeated. The more points the better.
