LOL. 24 coaches pick NDSU #1. One had them at #2, and one had them at #3. Wow, just wow.

EDIT: Meant to say "coaches" (with the air quotes)

[Hammersmith]

Interesting fact: Fully half the MVFC is a consensus top-26. (would be top-25 if not for media)

Bethune-Cookman beat Florida International 14-12.

That's a nice win for them.

since 2011, how many weeks has NDSU been #1?

its gotta be like 32/37 or something. They shoulda been at or near #1 after the Minnesota win. then 1 or 2 weeks after the YSU/ISUb hiccups

2011 was tricky because GSU and Sam Houston were both up there for a long time. NDSU didn't take the top spot until near the end of the season. Solid #2 but not #1 for most of it. In 2012 they were out for 3 weeks after the ISUb loss and then wire to wire in 2013.

This is the AGS poll, widely considered the most accurate.

[QUOTE=SDbison;904328]

Someone over on AGS is trying to argue that NDSU shouldn't be #1.

Just silly.[/QUOTEin a c] I would give my left nut to be playing EWU instead of Montana in the dome in a few weeks. The Bison would absolutely crush those endzone celebrating hot dogs that don't even know how to play defense.

"Hotdog" lmao, I thought that was a term only used by old farts from my home town. I always loved that one.

Well, now I know their are at least 63 morons who work in the media and must think we are the community college form up north....

Let's be blunt, anyone who does not have NDSU #1 is a flipping moron.
