Does this poll go into Playoff Selection Committee's process? If it does for seeding than I'm upset, but if its just some ignorant people hating on NDSU that doesn't mean anything oh well

With SOS and quality of wins there is NO WAY NDSU shouldn't be ranked #1

Playoffs all that matter now anyways---just give us a #1 or #2 seed and THE MARCH IS ON.........

Well, at least someone thought we were worthy this week of a first place vote. It will be interresting to see the TSN poll. Still pretty rediculous though.

I trust AGS voters who actually follow every team they have in their poll over SID's who look at records.

Wouldn't shock me if we are #1 in AGS if we win next week, we really cut into NH's lead in that poll. As for the others, all I can say is that at least one coach was smart enough to put us at #1 and enough TSN voters did to move us up to #3. Still a joke though.

Looks like Jacksonville State lost a 3rd place vote to Jackson State because someone wasn't paying attention.

Also, I think someone lost 8 points to Robert Morris because another voter wasn't paying attention. Either that, or there is someone that thinks a 1-9 team from the NEC deserves to be ranked 18th.

As stumped as I am with these polls, I can't decide if it will really bother me come playoff time. I mean at worst NDSU would get a top 4 seed, home field until the semis, and one would believe it would put a chip on the team's shoulder for being ranked so poorly given what they have accomplished. Take care of business on Saturday and may the chips fall where they will. I'm unhappy but not a whole lot I can do about it. Hopefully the committee has some common sense when it comes to ranking the teams based off of things other than a team's record. Quality wins and SOS should be a bare minimum of things to take into consideration, not to mention being #1 with a target on your back all season.
