BTW, Idaho in 2003 and 1997, UConn in 2001 (a year after they moved up)... did you think I wouldn't look that up?

Of course I thought you would, and those 3 FBS wins when comparing the top 10 current FCS programs are only slightly less relevant than NDSU's 4 which are fairly irrelevant unless you measure FCS success by that metric.

I wouldn't trade our recent and past playoff success and small fan base for a short history with some nice but mostly irrelevant fbs wins and 10,000 more fans at home games. But that's just me. xcoolx

BTW hen, I wonder how NDSU would have faired against a 12-1 Nevada, #10 ranked Cal, #12 ranked Texas Tech, 5-7 Colorado, 11-2 BYU, 10-4 OSU, and 11-2 West Virginia since 2006?

We really don't care. We know you're scared of NDSU, so just quit the schpiel.

Only when lacking cowbell or Fette.

GSU would be a lock for historic programs, but before last year's trip to the semis, they've had a tough go of it (21-23 previous four years and hadn't won a playoff game since 2002). UMass is in the middle of a pretty ugly spell too.

Maybe we're defining "current" differently and it appears that I am using a longer timeframe. Still, UMass was in the NC not all that long ago.

My bad... my sarcasm detector wasn't up to full speed this morning. Still working on this early morning consciousness thing. It's been awhile. xthumbsupx

NDSU wouldn't have lost to Colorado. I mean, they know how to hold onto 7 point leads in the 4th quarter against superior teams. AM I RIGHT!?

I know you're talking about playoffs. W&M is 4-3 in the playoffs since 2004. 8-0 against UNH in the last 10 years. 6 of these wins were against highly ranked UNH teams to include a 42-10 win when UNH was #1. Percentage is in W&M's favor but appearances is clearly in UNH's favor. The head-to-head is no contest. I'd rather have UNH's consistency...13 recent playoff appearances is laudable.

And 4-4 in the last ten years as I stated. I don't have UNH or W&M in my current top 10. I'd have to go back to see why I was even comparing the two.

Edit... now I see. A Spider said that UNH hadn't had the playoff success W&M did. You could say that W&M has had more because they've gotten to the semis twice, but they haven't been as many times or have as many wins. Toss up IMO.
