TSN Poll

Re: TSN Poll

I could see us jumping Towson, but I don't think we will, and I think EIU has made a statement with the way they have played this year (they took Northern Illinois to the wire). I think Sam Houston moves to #2 considering they've finished 2nd the last 2 years and just beat the #2 team. My prediction:

1. NDSU
2. SHSU
3. Towson
4. UNI
5. EIU
6. EWU

I think you're going to be right.

Re: TSN Poll

You're probably right, but crazier things have happened.

Here's why I think the Jacks have a chance:

1) Home game (the Jacks are 3-1 at home against the Bison)
2) They only lost by 3 points last year in the Fargo Dome
3) Highest ranked SDSU team since moving to FCS

1) NOT a home game, 6000 NDSU fans
2) They lost 20-3 in Fargodome in playoffs
3) they have played no one

4) -32 yards rushing.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Kyle, you were wrong.

Re: TSN Poll

Wouldn't it have been cool to have Gameday in Fargo two weeks later with them #1 and us #2?

the reason they chose that week to come to Fargo was b/c there weren't really any compelling FBS games that weekend. Where as there are this weekend.

Exactly. If you are NDSU, or any FBS school, you need to take your opportunity at national exposure whenever it comes. Beggars can't be choosers, as they say. Hopefully ESPN did well enough with this that they'll consider more early season FBS appearances in seasons to come.
