At the same time refusing to accept the fact that a mixup was made. The latest is questioning Bison fans why they cant accept an 8-3 conference champion team being ranked. Well, in the poll that everyone is talking about, they were 1-2, coming off a loss and NDSU 3-0 coming off a bye. And another matter, yes; I disagree with an 8-3, excuse me, 5-3 when count only DI games, being ranked at the end of the year. I think now that now that NDSU has won a championship and that UND is in a real DI conference, a mixup in the polls probably won't happen. They will or will not be ranked on their own merits. The real question is, does anyone give the coaches poll with any respect anymore anyways?
Its was a five team conference meaning they only played 4 conference foes. Considering the fact that they also played a NAIA team I find the ranking dubious at best. I dont think I need to mention the rest of there schedule.

It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
