The funny part is, UND and USD were bad losses for us, but both of these teams are pretty much riding the coattails of those same wins lol
In no universe was the the USD team I saw a #3 seed. In most years that was a 3rd or 4th place MVFC team, at best. But they took care of business and we didn't, so that's how the cookie crumbles.
Can you show us any examples of an FBS Conference
that has interest in adding NDSU???
As always, extra extra credit for Conferences officials commenting on it, or for example Mountain West AD’s or Head Coaches or beat writers. And even more extra credit for the time period of 2011-2021…..

Edit: He was way earlier than that lol
The Wofford team with GOAT Eric Breitenstein? He was easily a top 5 opposing player I've personally ever seen in the FD. When you look up football player in the dictionary it's a picture of that dude.
You say that like the committee hasn't used that same logic to absolutely stack our bracket.
Out of the 23 other teams:
5 are MVFC(2 seeds and 4 1st round home games, including us)
6 we've never played(Duquesne, Chattanooga, Gardner-Webb, Mercer, NCC, Villanova)
2 we've played pre-1973(Sac St, Idaho - who is 3-0 against us)
Drake is 2-1 all time against us. 2 pre-73 wins and a loss last year.
It's unlikely we'll see fresh blood, but at least we get to tie the record against Drake.
