    Hopefully the crowd gets into these next two home games against UC Davis and UNI because the boredom factor will likely be pretty high in the last 3 homes against what looks like the 3 worst teams in the conference in Misery St, WIU, and USD. Will probably be some relatively tame atmospheres with a half full student section if that.

    Let's use Delaware as an example. Sagarin has them at #123 which is roughly around the middle of the pack in most G-5 conferences. Any move to a G-5 conference is just a lateral move although it might help us get better non-conference games.

    I mean there are 39 G5 schools rated higher than FCS number 10. 40 if you count BYU.
    It's OK to not be OK.

    Sad but true. The only way I see NDSU moving up is if the entire conference moves up.

    Your'e right. We would get to see FBS games. I suppose NDSU would get more exposure as well when going undefeated in the G-5.

    Yeah I see what your saying. Delaware would be in the bottom 3-4 of all G5 conferences currently.

    Did somebody call G-5 a lateral move? Oh right, that was me, yesterday.

    Based off of Sagarin ratings there are around 53 G5 teams that are rated higher than the FCS 25th rated team. That leaves around 12 that are rated lower than the FCS 25th rated team.

    When I joined as a BV member, I was told that there would be no math.

    I know how you guys feel. I had my 1st grade daughter do the hard math. All I did was make sure I wrote the numbers down right (with her looking over my work).
