What I'm hoping for is to keep it within two scores and play well enough against the National Champions to impress the selection committee. We could make some noise in the early rounds if we get in.
7-5 with an FBS win should get SIU in. I do agree that they will be a tough opponent in the playoffs, especially non valley teams. Maybe you will get UND on thanksgiving and will have a drastic increase in your fanbase with Bison Nation jumping on the bandwagon!
