    New Hampshire, 3, #113
    Lafayette, 0, #118
    William & Mary, 0, #122
    Bucknell, 3, #124
    Cornell, 0, #92
    Georgetown, 0, #121
    Fordham, 0, #119
    Lehigh, 6, #106
    Army, 28, NA
    James Madison, 20, #46

    Anyone see a pattern here? They played 6 of the 12 worst offensive teams in FCS. Congrats on shutting most of those teams out. They likely have a good defense, but ranking highly inflated with that schedule.
    NDSU total offense is ranked #20. Looking at the few teams ranked above #100 that Colgate played you can guess how many points NDSU will score.
    So do we need to Arkansas-Pine Bluff them?
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    It will be interesting to see how Colgate reacts to the Dome noise, etc. History would say not so well.

    And honest question: Does Kennesaw have a chance against the Jacks? Obviously I would love to see a 3rd new team come to the Dome for the playoffs, but SDSU concerns me only because of the obvious familiarity of us and having been here, blah blah...

    As much as I hate to say it I bet we see SDSU---I have serious concerns we beat them again.

    Yes. I think SDSU has a better chance than anybody else to beat the Bison. But as long as the "Playoff Bison" show up, we handle the Bunnies without too much trouble.

    But... what if... The Bunnies have a playoff mode inspired by the Joose?

    In all seriousness, I think the biggest threats remaining in the field are SDSU and EWU. And I'm confident the playoff version of the 2018 Bison will handle either, but anything can happen.

    I just wonder if the weather will be enough of factor to give the better run team the advantage in the SDSU vs KSU game. https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/USGA0028:1:US

    KSU has a chance maybe one in 3 or 4. I agree, SDSU and EWU are the 2nd and 3rd best teams remaining.

It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow.

    Burks left the last game late due to injury. He makes that option offense go and is one of the finalists for the Payton award along with Stick. If he doesn’t play, Kennesaw has no chance. With him they have about a 25-30% chance. Probably less in my opinion.

    I know who he is. I'm over it, he and I actually talked shortly after when I ran into him at Sandy's donuts one day.
