    NDSU has 2 more first place votes but only one more total point than SDSU. Does that mean someone voted NDSU worse than 2nd?
    NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?

Be great if it could be Frisco...but that probably won't be allowed to happen. Need to take care of business each week, but that SDSU game looms large for both teams.

    Next four all have huge question marks:
    YSU: lose 9 defensive starters (2 NFL DE's) and top two running backs
    UNI: bad season but lots of close games, lost best defensive player in FCS
    ISUr: lost 4 starting OL including all american C, WR Warrum is gone, all three LB gone
    WIU: bring back the whole defense but lose WRs Lenoir and Borsellino

    South Dakota and Southern Illinois have opportunities to make leaps this year.
    pretty much agree with most except for ISUr had 5 5th year senoiors that started on the O line! That will be very difficult to overcome IMO!

    I have no problem with someone ranking SDSU above NDSU in a meaningless poll. I have a little problem with the 1 person ranking SDSU and some other team above NDSU in a meaningless poll.

    Apparently UNI is still filling out their coaching staff:

    I think they've only retained 2 or 3 assistants from last year.

    I think UNI needs to move on from Farely.

    Just a hunch but I think SDSU loses at least 2 conference games this yr. I don't know why I think that but maybe it has something to do with the fact that the rabbits aren't very good when the spotlight is on them a bit and can't handle the pressure.

    There is a lot of talk over on the Jack's forum about Nov 4th and both teams being 8-0. I'll dream on that also, but it does seem to be a good way for the Jacks to overlook someone.....

    Also a lot of talk that there will not be many tix available for NDSU fans on Aug 1st......
