We didn't graduate anyone off last year's DL, and most of the guys who played last year were FR and SO. So add true freshman Quinton Hicks, a developing Tolu Ogunrinde, transfer Jassan Eubank, and...

I'm fine with the MAC being a dumpster fire. It gives NDSU/SDSU a recruiting advantage over those schools. Being able to play for a championship in front of similar or better crowds with a good path...

Not sure about Summit football. I have serious concerns about WIU even being DI in a few years, yet alone having a football program. Also don't know if ST will even go scholarship football, as they...

I just think NMSU would be a hard sell for schools with lesser resources. Despite it being an excellent school, it's nowhere near the geographic footprint of the conference.

Here are distances...

SDSU has had a horrible run of injuries, and they are starting to take a toll.

We've lost our #1 RB Wallace for the season, and our stud true freshman running back who was his replacement C.J....

I'll admit that losing Wieneke and Goedert is big, but we returned nearly everyone on defense, including potential pro CB Jordan Brown and All-American Rozeboom and also added a Big 10 safety in...

I doubt you guys will need it, but good luck against SHSU tonight.

I'll go 40-17 Bison with my prediction.

I think we have some depth in the receiving corps and true frosh Skyler Cavanaugh has been very impressive in limited action at TE.

Obviously it will hurt losing two guys to the NFL, but I think...

Yeah, and the only win for the BSC was by a team moving to the MVFC.

That would make the most sense is adding UMKC to replace IUPUI and then if IPFW goes next year see if we can get Northern Colorado if the Big Sky would allow them to remain football only.

Travel...

No doubt. Great to see the conference scheduling up, it's the only way we will ever get that second bid.

Of course, scheduling alone doesn't make it happen. We need to actually win a few of these...

I just don't see the interest in going west. The Big Sky is a horrible basketball conference, and travel would suck. What does Montana, Montana St., Idaho? etc. bring to the table?

I can see if...

I just can't get excited about going west for expansion for the Summit.

9 o'clock start times for games are horrible.

You have to remember there are more relationships involved with ESPN than just a single Conference Championship game. Midco holds the broadcast rights for the rest of the games, and all of those...

SDSU RPI = 155
UND RPI = 172

UND was 2-5 out of conference, they racked up wins due to a very weak Big Sky.

Summit League was 47-59 in OOC games while Big Sky was 32-88.

It wouldn't...

Can also become a facility problem, especially for teams that don't play on campus, as the arena may already be booked for another event.

Can also become a facility problem, especially for teams that don't play on campus, as the arena may already be booked for another event.

From what Douple said at a luncheon in Sioux Falls, the schedule isn't going to change anytime soon. ESPN calls the shots and we are locked into the 8PM Tuesday night slot if we want the game...

I agree, and YSU could make some noise on the other side of the bracket as well. Legit chance that ISU and YSU meet up in the quarters along with NDSU/SDSU and SHSU.

If you are putting SDSU as the auto-bid, I'd assume you have them winning out.

They would be 9-2 with wins over playoff teams NDSU, YSU, and WIU and only losses being to playoff Cal Poly and FBS...

Goedert with over 200 yards and 4 TD's, may be co-players of the week.
