Let's call a spade a spade, the best FCS conference is the one with NDSU in it. You pick any of the best 8 conferences in FCS football, put NDSU in the conference and the conference will be #1. The average, again the AVERAGE non-NDSU MVFC team has a conference record 4 games UNDER .500 in conference play for the last 5 years. That is because NDSU wins so many MVFC games! They are great the rest are so-so most of the time. Occasionally somebody gets hot, but overall it's NDSU and everybody else looking for a playoff birth and 1 or 2 and out.
