    No argument here.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow.

    Payback for the bracket of death in 2015.

    Or last year.

    I won't complain or apologize for NDSU's draw this year.

    Bracket side wouldn't have mattered, since SDSU our offense especially has been terrific. Messingham really got things fine tuned as far as this teams' identity. I also think Kuhnert gave the Oline a tounge lashing, that guy is just badass. Who pops their elbow back into place in the middle of a game?

    You mean for being #36 in NCAA Division I football? I'm pretty sure we DO play in that "league." But If we were classified as FBS instead of FCS, yeah, I'm sure we'd get a bowl game and all the goodies that come with that.

    If all you’re paying attention to with the Sagarin ratings is the ordinal ranking, you're doing it wrong.

    Of course you still need to add 2.61 to NDSU for homefield advantage.

    A week's worth of bowl games has no effect on Bison or JMU. Bison remain at #34 and JMU is #46. Bison favored by 2.65 points (not considering home field advantage of Frisco for the Bison).

    Another week of bowl games, and the Bison move up one slot to #33, JMU moves up three to #43. Bison favored by 2.67 on neutral field.

    So we can add another 3 points since it's our field at Frisco?
