Here's a question for you since we discussing the Bison v. Sooners...what if we were talking football? How awesome would that be? I wonder if Stoops would be his whiney bitch self and blame the refs again. What an asshat.
But yeah, serious question.
Insert something clever here...

IMO NDSU wouldnt get within 25 points of OU. Especially in light of the ksu game, they wouldnt be overlooked. I dont think it'll ever happen because OU doesnt schedule FBS opponents anymore. Or they haven't in a long time. They need the strength of schedule to keep them in contention for the playoff. If you lose, you really lose. If you win, well thats expected of a fbs opponent. It would be interesting though, considering you are the best fbs team there is. But if OU can put up over 40 on Alabama with all their 5* and NFL talent, what would they do on NDSU?
Maybe they wouldnt but it wouldnt surprise me one bit if they did. Look at their season last year. During their 14-0 season the average score was 51-12. An average of a 39 point victory. This included 5 ranked teams and a conference champion. Before playing Auburn the average score vs ranked opponents was 50-8. I think its more than fair to say that NDSU would be a middle of the pack top 25 team, if even that. Hard to say when they dont play power conference teams week in and week out.
This is what FBS team NDSU has played within the last decade or so...It all started when a sportswriter in Minnesota said the Gophers would beat NDSU by 50. They ended up winning by one, thanks to a blocked FG attempt with :00 left on the clock. Say what you want about not being overlooked, but that doesn't matter. NDSU football will tell you what they will do in advance: Play smash mouth football on offense and swarm the opponent on defense. I'm pretty confident in saying a game between the 2013 Bison and 2013 Sooners would have been very close.

I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.
