Which would you take right now?

[SC_TX]

A: Get blown-out 45-10 by Iowa, don't lose another game all year, win the MV and roll to 6th straight national title.

B: Lose competitive 24-17 game to Iowa, trip up once more in conference play, win the MV, lose in Frisco in the title game.

or

C: Beat Iowa, lose a couple in conference, don't win the MV, lose in playoff quarterfinals

Interesting question. I would have to vote A. NDSU plays for rings and not beating individual teams. But honestly, I would modify A to Blow-out Iowa 45-10, don't lose another game all year, win the MV and roll to 6th straight national title. But that may be a bit unrealistic.

D: none of the above

[ZHerd]

NDSU has only been taking option D) (beat the FBS sacrificial lamb, win the MVC, win the natty) All other options aren't scantron worthy

I hope the players who "happen" to see this say, "Screw that poll, we're going to be nasty and win them all."

Beating Iowa and not winning the conference and natty would take a lot of the luster off of beating Iowa. Being the giant killer doesn't mean as much when you aren't killing those on your own level, as well. Then we just become the team that beat Iowa on any given Saturday. We can be the school that beat Iowa and won 6 in a row because we are badass and we can beat any school on Saturday. Tall order, but if anyone is up to it, don't put it past the Bison.

Any option but D) will leave everyone feeling empty and hollow inside. Some people just have not yet developed this foresight

It's obvious the poll is would you trade 6 in a row for the biggest win in program history. Just roll with it people, fuck. None of you are on the team so quit over thinking shit
