First Bama, is NDSU next?

Post by jcfrancis »

No three-peat for Bama. Can the same happen for NDSU? No in-state rivalry game, but is there a team that could pull it off?

If the Griz take care of business I think we'll give them all they can handle.

Look at this, how is North Dakota State better than 80-some FBS teams?

And no, I don't think any team is beating NDSU.

I wouldn't read too much into one voter rating NDSU #25.

They are a great team, but I wouldn't buy into the hype too much.

Why not?

-They beat Kansas State who managed to go 7-5, 5-4 in the Big 12
-They beat SDSU, Youngstown State, and Southern Illinois (the 3 other winningest MVC teams) by a combined score of 86-27
-They are the only undefeated FCS team (although Eastern Illinois came close to beating NIU)

Upsets can happen, but I don't see any team beating the Bison.

I'm not saying there's anyone that would remotely be favored to beat them, but this is college football and the playoffs. Anything can happen.

I am in the minority, i think NDSU falls somewhere in the playoffs. I dont think they lose if they get the national championship. I think that they can be beat, a few turnovers or missed plays, injuries, sickness. It happens all the time. They lost last year in the regular season. They didnt this time....but i really think they do lose in the next three weeks.

The difference between NDSU and Alabama might be the number of returning starters. NDSU returned 24 Seniors who last lost in the playoffs to eventual National Champion EWU, in OT, on the road, in 2010. Alabama returned 13 starters, NDSU 18, plus a couple former starters returning from injuries. NDSU can be beat, but unlike Bama, they have more experience returning this year. Another difference is that Alabama lost to their rival on the road. NDSU plays at home until they lose or Frisco.

Sure. Heck, Northern Iowa had to choke big time to keep from beating North Dakota State this year and Northern Iowa isn't even in the playoffs (how they managed to avoid them is a story for the ages).

They are the favorite. But of COURSE they could lose to a number of teams in the field in any one game.

But if it happens I doubt that it's going to be like what happened to Alabama this past weekend! THAT, my friend, was a classic.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Right, Bama has less of a chance for a 3-peat.

It is going to be really hard for any team to come to Fargo and win during the playoffs. But sure the Bison can lose but I don't think it will happen.

The Bison are pretty well rounded.
