They are basically a Big Sky team without an auto-bid opportunity, but they would get in/not get in based on how they performed in and out of conference, which is ~66% Big Sky results. Kind of like being a Big Sky team, especially in uN_'s case since they aren't putting up a record good enough to win the Big Sky.

The autobid doesn’t have any value in the power conferences anyway so it’s a moot point. The top team from Big Sky, MVFC, CAA are going to the playoffs regardless of an automatic qualifier. At 24 teams you have to be pretty inept at winning to get left out.
The question surrounds advocacy at the playoff committee level and whether UND will get any from its old conf (Big Fluff), or it’s new conf (MVFC).
If they are good enough they will get in, if they aren’t, they won’t

over the past TWO years you cant shade UN- on their schedule, They beat UC Davis as handily as the Bison did and they play a pretty solid schedule going forward. I dont wish them any luck but if they can beat UC Davis they have a chance beating anybody else on a solid remaining schedule. Remember, we are all DII when it comes down to it.

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. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
