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

[heffray]

Agreed! Lots of teams have starters every year that were 2nd or 3rd string the season before. This is a weird year. Weird things are going to happen. The Bison have won a lot of very close games to SDSU and other teams in the MVFC that didn't have beat them. The easily beat 2 of the 1-loss teams in the conference. I would say this team isn't that far off from past teams. They may or may not win the championship this Spring but let's enjoy the ride and all they've accomplished the past decade.

10 years of the complete domination we’ve displayed is unprecedented at any level of football, and not really sustainable... we were bound to have a couple down years. If our down years still include playoff runs, I’ll take it.

Kinda crazy to think how close the tipping points were against SDSU these past two games. I think both teams took a step back this year, NDSU's was just a bit further.

we answered this question this spring...

[El_Chapo]

I'd still put are 2nd team in the top 25 this year.

[El_Chapo]

OK since we are down Eli & Gindorff now and struggling in the passing game with QB/WR.

as of 10/4 against this top 25 poll I squarely put our 2nd team #12-#13 down from last couple years, but still pretty dam good. You roll out with
QB-Cole
RB-Gonella/TK Marshall etc.

This is the most NDSU fan thread ever........AND I think it's still true that NDSU's second stringers would be a top 20 team.

I hate to agreed with El Chapo, but seriously, what team ranked between 20 and 25 would you pick to beat NDSU's second team?

None... or getting votes

Lol at using the Coach's poll.

Disagree, I remember a game where a team scored a couple of times in the 4th Q. Cant remember which coach it was but when asked about the 2 scores he said--
thats why they are the 2s.

I know this a feel good puff your cheeto subject but seriously.

why would you use a poll that nerdy fans vote in
