It would probably be received somewhat similar to UCF claiming the national championship, although more tame.
It would both look ridiculous to most (accurate or not) but also generate incredible publicity. It would turn the corner from ESPN talking about NDSU to people having their own person to person conversations about NDSU.
Edit- I love the idea, btw
I would say Trey has a chance. ESPN was pushing him right away last season with their Nissan Heisman House Poll, where Trey finished fourth overall by fans: http://promo.espn.com/espn/contests/...man/2019/index
