You know I looked at the starting two-deep for SDSU v Cal Poly and it looks exactly the same for the offensive and defensive line. Is it because Greger missed some games in between then and now?
BTW, somebody on the Bunny Board made a good point, SDSU has the best Sagarin rating of any FCS team NDSU has played so far. In fact, our November schedule is pretty loaded. Sagarin rankings with the FCS-only in parentheses:
34 North Dakota State (1)
53 Illinois State *DNP* (2)
61 Iowa State
82 Northern Iowa (6)
83 SDSU (7)
96 Indiana State (10)
98 Youngstown State (11)
103 Missouri State (15)
112 Southern Illinois (19)
141 Montana (32)
148 Western Illinois (35)
173 South Dakota (51)
211 Weber State (83)
235 Incarnate Word (107)
Basically, if NDSU makes it to Frisco, November's schedule should be considerably harder than December's. At the start of the playoffs, Sagarin had NDSU's three opponents ranked as follows: Furman (54), Coastal Carolina (17), New Hampshire (21).
What on earth happened to Furman anyways? I had them wrongfully pegged as a top team. They returned their qb (who I thought was pretty good against us)and other good players but they are horrible
Their Sagarin is really about the same: 60 now vs 54 after the 12th week of 2013 but they pounded Samford last year and Samford just beat them 45-0. That's bizarre.
Sounds like a lot of injuries. They haven't won any close games. And their uniforms are purple. So they are the UNI of the SoCon this year.
usd game will probably be closer than this game.
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
