Should the Bison Remain #1?

[ndsubison1]

and this team has a nicer nucleus of seniors and absolutely has more veterans. the only players that are going to play big snaps next year that haven't already contributed in a big way are the guys who win the open O-line jobs (kinda, cause Plankers and Hinz have contributed) and the interior D-line. Every one else has been a significant contributor. The 2011 team started freshman Dudzik at right corner, started freshman Colten Heagle, played Ryan Smith a ton in his first year at WR, played Carlton Littlejohn and Travis Beck as freshmen and gave Leevon Perry and Ryan Drevlow tons of snaps. Children, I tell you children!

Gebhart, Colvin, Thorton, Keller, Heagle, Crockett, Dudzik, Littlejohn, Beck, Emanuel, Hinz, Vraa, Vaadeland, Hardie

Voigtlander, Jastram, Preston, Willson, DJ, ARich, Cornick, Holloway, Veldman and Boyer, Eaves, Pike, Stoczynski, Jemison, Ollman, Lund

I get that but people seemed pissed when people don't give ndsu #1 etc who the hell cares? Makes no sense to argue or get mad at someone's opinion if they don't rank us #1. Like you said just because we won doesn't mean we should be #1.

valid point, but who the hell cares about what someone else thinks about a poll. Its a vicious circle

I apologize on Eaves, but Ollman and Lund didn't graduate after that season and Jemison didn't finish out his career. Pike and Stoczynski were part time players. I didn't include Myles Brooks, Zac Johnson, Adam Schueller or Nate Moody in my original post who are part time players. Even if you're going to incorrectly edit my post the point remains the same. The 2014 team has just as much and probably more quality seniors on the team than the first team that won a title and is certainly more experienced as a whole.

I was referring to veterans who contributed quite a bit. Juniors can be veteran playes. Ollman and Lund were juniors and played quite a bit. Same with Pike and Scott. Them being part time doesn't change the fact. Comparing them to Myles Broos, Adam Schueller, and Moody, ISNT the same. Also Jemison finished out that season

Then you can add Zack Johnson, Joe Haeg, Bonnet, CJ Smith, Champion and Schaetz to this year's group of "veterans". The point I made is that we are in the exact same spot if not a better spot than we were that seasons and everyone nationally is overreacting to that number of 24 seniors and Bohl.
