Where would you RANK NDSU's 2nd string in the FCS if they were a team.

[fmfantasy]

Looking at the last 8 teams here.

my 12/11/19 update:

1 NDSU
2 JMU
3 Weber
4 Montana
5 NDSU 2nd team
6 Montana St
7 UNI
8 Illinois St
9 Austin Peay

Id move Weber down to 5 and NDSU2 up to 4th.. FCS is gonna look real awful in 3 years when JMU and the Montanas jump to fbs…

Ok so realistically I think you’re high on the 2nd string.

The offense would score plenty of points against most defenses, but people think we are weak on the interior DL and LB positions as it is. Fill out those positions with 2nd stringers and it doesn’t look quite so good.

2nd Offense:
QB- 1st team quality
OL- solid / maybe 1st quality
RB- 1st team quality
FB- 1st team quality
TE- 1st team quality
WR- mediocre

2nd Defense:
DE-solid
Interior DL- mediocre
LB- mediocre
S- 1st team quality
CB- mediocre

2 years from now those mediocre D guys will be the best defense in the FCS and we all know it.. just like every other year. so even though we dont know them really well I bet there are some really good players..

all 3 of them have stadiums that can sit 20K plus and likely expandable.. Jmu is gone for sure and few doubt that. I just think the montanas will get sick of being an also ran to ND and SD schools and move up- join Boise and them when the realign comes.. You know that whole playing for natties that Bison fans love? Well they aren't ever doing that so might as well go to a bowl game every couple years and not be second fiddle to NDSU.

From what I’ve heard or read, not one of those teams plan on moving, especially the Montana schools. McFeely did a story on JMU last year and they didn’t seem interested either.

Yea Weber doesn't have an offense, good point.

Noland would tear apart most of these teams on his own with 4 wide recievers out there.

JMU is gone if, and only if, they get a CUSA or AAC invite. They've been offered by the Sun Belt in recent memory and turned it down. And you haven't been paying much attention to the Montana schools if you think they are in any position to go FBS anytime in the next several years.

NDSU FCS forevers say we need a bigger stadium, more money and don't want to give up the fcs titles... the Montana schools have the stadiums and are never going to win titles so is it a money issue?
