JMU was a Clemson figure for a couple years though I’d say.

Could not agree more. People were sick of YSU and Marshall back in the early 90's as well. (Marshall played so much better than we did in the regular season though).  I just root for anyone that is playing NDSU, to heck with the conference. If NDSU loses 3 conference games they are still in, if we lose 3 conference games, we are not even a post-season thought.

BTW: Would not surprise me if Alabama threw the game. I am just as sick of Clemson coming out of that 1-team conference. Then we have Notre Dame that gets in despite having no conference affiliation! Explain that? They get their "trophy" from NBC every year ... it comes in the form of an enormous residual check. Now, in addition to the NBC funds,  they take 1/4 of the play-off monies and do not have to share it. The money that ND made this year is going make that team into another Alabama.

What? If we’re a 3 loss conference team we’re most certainly in the playoff discussion. In 2016 we had 2 conference losses and got home field advantage for the first playoff game. This year UNI lost 3 conference games last and made the playoffs. In the MVFC, 2 conference losses and you’re a lock, 3 and you’re a bubble team.

Plus, any NDSU has absolutely earned any benefit of the doubt they get.
