At first glance, that looks like a pretty good ranking.

There are a lot of words in this.

Looks like a pretty solid list to me.

Also it never gets old to be reminded how unbelievably dominant this program has been over the last decade.

Let’s start with the easy part. North Dakota State is far and away the best team of the decade. We all know that. And its not even close. Their 135 wins are 32 more than the next highest total. They lost only 11 games for a win percentage of .925. The Bison made the playoffs in each of the 10 seasons reviewed, winning eight championships and appearing in nine semi finals. Their 35 playoff wins are 17 more than the next highest total. And on top of they, they beat FBS foes five times, the most over the decade. Based on my weighted point formula, the Bison accumulated 453 points which is nearly double the 239 that the next highest team achieved. In a tiered system, North Dakota State is the top tier, with no peers.

Would you have preferred fewer words in favor of more commas?

Montana way down the list in tier 5.

Recent Headline:

University of North Dakota, North Dakota State and South Dakota State are college sports conquerors, but will that help boost enrollment?

One of those things is not like the others.

Is this a current question on the SAT or something?

You could combine Tiers 2 and 3 and it would make little difference.
