IMO the media has UND's ranking more accurate. I think most BSC coaches know nothing about UND and think we are a bottom feeder. Time to make some noise in this conference.

Nah, the coaches just have you pegged.

Not a lot of love for any of the new members. SUU got one coaches vote though. That is interesting.

I have never seen their QB play, but he sounds like a stud. Is this the truth?

a few months ago I would have agreed with you, but i'm increasingly less confident as the season approaches. If we have more than 2 wins heading into nau i'll be satisfied.

Also if you think that the guys who have actually seen and studied UND's tape know less about UND's team than a couple beat reporters...

But it makes me wonder what UND tape they saw...UND beating a ranked team on the road (SUU), or a UND team that had to come from behind against Sioux Falls, UNC, and South Dakota. Reguardless it proves they care less about the GWFC, its champions, or its teams (with Cal Poly as the exception). I would have had MSU, Cal Poly, UM and EWU as my top 4...seeing UC Davis one above UNC is suprising too.

They do have a stud of a QB. Sounds like the BSC is loaded at that position (including UND for the first time since 07). They were ranked last year and even beat an FBS team but then the loss to UND at home started the downward spiral for the T-Birds.

I'm sure they are impressed that UND beat the 4th place gwc team at their place.

They should've been impressed with UND beating a ranked 3-1 SUU team coming off of a FBS win. Especially since UND was coming off of a 3-8 2010 season, but those polls mean nothing and its what you do on the field that count.

so rankings don't mean anything, unless its a team und beat?

Not in a preason poll.

Too bad the PSU QB graduated or the BSC would be pretty stacked this year. It must have been pretty tough to decide a preseason all-conference QB. Gonna be a great year in the BSC. Soo excited
