Can the Stibbar beat the Bison in the Fargodome twice in the same year?

Nope

It's not very often the #1-seed is an at-large, and that is due to South Dakota State's surprising upset in Fargo October 15th. North Dakota State didn't lose any other games, however, and that's why they get to host SDSU again this week. I'm sure the Jackrabbits want to finally beat NDSU in the playoffs more than anything in the world, but I don't think they have quite enough horses on defense to pull that off.

Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:

• • • Quarterbacks -- South Dakota St.
      
      Running Backs - North Dakota St.
      
      Receivers/TEs - South Dakota St.
      
      Offensive Line - North Dakota St.
      
      
      Defensive Line - North Dakota St.
      
      Linebackers --- South Dakota St.
      
      Secondary ---- North Dakota St.
      
      
      Kicking ------ (push)
      
      Punting ------ (push)
      
      Return Teams - North Dakota St.
      
      Kickoffs ------ North Dakota St.
      
      
      
      
      
      • South Dakota St. 24-28 North Dakota St.

Winner gets a red hot James Madison. JMU may have stamped themselves as the Championship favorite after last night.

Let's Go Jacks!!

Boy South Dakota State's quarterback throws a pretty ball.

SDSU NO MORE ZONE on 3rd & long!

Nope! No points off the fumble recovery at the 1/2 yard line! The JACKS still have life!

Looking like JMU might be the end of the line for the winners this year. They just looked too dominating to lose to any of the teams left.

That was the worst clock management by NDSU I have EVER seen..

God the Jacks suck!

Correction: both teams don't look all that great.

Looks like a blowout right now.

Sorry to disappoint you BF, have fun with your cupcake today.

Apparently SDSU's lack of offense from last week wasn't just a weather thing.

So do they have to give it back?

Nope, only a regular season thing.

Jacks put up a good fight.
