Dang, that is an awesome stat!

how many years has UND played a full Big Sky schedule? 11 games against playoff teams seems really, really low

They've played more than 11 playoff teams... but this only counts team that won games in the playoffs which is a more exclusive club. Here is their breakdown:

Year	tblGamesScores_1.TeamId	tblGamesScores.Score	tblGamesScores_1.Score
2012	Eastern Washington	17	55
2012	Montana State	10	55
2013	South Dakota State	28	35
2013	Eastern Washington	14	35
2014	Montana	15	18
2014	Eastern Washington	3	54
2015	North Dakota State	9	34
2015	Montana	16	42
2016	Richmond	24	27
2017	South Dakota	7	45
2018	Weber State	30	35

And they never play a full Big Sky schedule - they have rarely played a Big Sky team that went on to win a playoff game.

They really did get lucky? with the way their schedule worked out and were never able to capitalize.

Their luck is about to run out.

Who are the 7?

[tony]

Who are the 7?

I believe JMU, EWU, SDSU x 2, Montana, UNI, and Western Illinois (they won a playoff game in 2010)

[OrygunBison]

University of South Dakota = 1-25. Darn that one game, though...
