I'd give more to get Tim Miles out of the Big Ten studio and back on the NDSU bench coaching this team. Guy is a fantastic coach, great recruiter and has a ton of personality. Just give him a lifetime contract and let the good times roll.

We'll be selling out the fargodome after a couple of Miles recruiting classes lmao.

I would settle for selling out the SHAC.... Start with that.

Holy crap!! we are #316 RPI???

Conference: Summit

This is due to the SOS so far, the losses don't help but even if we were 7-1 like we should be our RPI wouldn't be great. 4 of the next 5 teams are quality opponents so if we can get at least 3 W's in the next 5 games without losing to Northridge we'll be back in the 200's.

From the Wikipedia:

its current formulation, the index comprises a team's winning percentage (25%), its opponents' winning percentage (50%), and the winning percentage of those opponents' opponents (25%). The opponents' winning percentage and the winning percentage of those opponents' opponents both comprise the strength of schedule (SOS). Thus, the SOS accounts for 75% of the RPI calculation and is 2/3 its opponents' winning percentage and 1/3 its opponents' opponents' winning percentages.

Audit could tell you better than I ever could but it only counts win/loss not margin of victory. It also uses SOS for 75% of its calc
