Discussion between the updates...

Gophers put up some significant yardage on offense today (ok they allowed over 500 to0). Many want to say the Bison should be the favorites over the 1-6 Gophs, but still it is on their turf against a Big Ten team that does have some weapons. I think it will be as close as last year, and maybe with the dominance on the other side with the Bison coming from behind towards the end. Bison defense is not dominating like it did last year. Offense looks great, but our secondary is still nothing to jump up and down about. Your thoughts?

Gophers strength plays into the Bison weakness, passing with Weber, Wheelwright, & Decker.

[Hansel]

TD pass Bison up 51-0 xcoffeex

[ONCEaBISON/ALWAYSaBISON]

What does a loss to the Gophers do to the Bison in the rankings and on the flip does a win against 1-6 UM get the Bison into the #1 slot across the three polls? I think a loss will drop them into #5 and a win gets them #2 in the TSN and #1 in both coaches and AGS.

[Go Bison]

Backup QB Mertens throws a TD pass to the former backup QB Parsons. Sounds like Mertens has a very strong arm. Could be a Favrelike player...

I drop teams for losses, how far depends on how bad the loss is.
Not sure if a win puts them into #1 in all polls though. A big win like CMU or today might.

So a loss to a FBS team gets a drop in the polls from you? Is it because it is a poor FBS team, or because a loss is a loss to you?

A win against MVSU I think keeps status quo unless we have some upsets today (Grizz and UNI).

TD NDSU - Paschall xcoffeex

[ONCEaBISON/ALWAYSaBISON]

Has an FCS team beaten two FBS teams in one season? Seems like it has only been recently that FCS have played FBS more than once a season.

[Hansel]

58-0 NDSU 5:23 to play

[No_Skill]

Loss is a loss.

So if we lost to LSU by a point on a blocked FG attempt, you would drop us in the polls?

Hypotheticals are great aren't they.

I asked that a couple weeks ago. Several teams have done it. I'd search for the thead, but I'm too lazy...:D

[ONCEaBISON/ALWAYSaBISON]

GSU Eagles tied with Elon and UC Davis staying close to Cal Poly, 21-14 Cal Poly.

I wonder if they were transitioning teams, from I-AA to I-A with a schedule of more than 2 I-A teams.

[ONCEaBISON/ALWAYSaBISON]

Shut out at risk!

[ONCEaBISON/ALWAYSaBISON]

4th and Goal for MVSU. Looks like a FG attempt. MVSU takes a timeout to think about it.

[ONCEaBISON/ALWAYSaBISON]

MVSU changes mind, goes for it and scores a TD 58-6.

well....good win

[ONCEaBISON/ALWAYSaBISON]

Looking at the scoreboard, there will not be any changes in the poll. At least that is my guess. UNI had a good win over SIU and Montana did what it had to over Sac State.

Great West side note: Cal Poly put a nice whooping on UC Davis.

[slostang]

GSU Eagles tied with Elon and UC Davis staying close to Cal Poly, 21-14 Cal Poly.

Cal Poly won 63-28. Cal Poly had 704 yards of offense.
