UND fan here. That was an absolute travesty of a bracket. You should've been in, the fact that Montana is not only in but is hosting a game is a disaster to credibility in every conceivable way. People complain about shady dealings in the committee, and having Montana's AD in it and putting them in with one of the worst resumes I've ever seen is not helping. You should've been in over Montana. Best of luck to you guys in the future (except against us)

FCS has always been rigged.  Why would you expect anything different.  They already had floated weeks ago that our conference was having a down year.
I keep saying this we are in the wrong conference.  But you experts say it’s the SEC of FCS.  We will struggle to be a top 3 team in the conference for life.  We didn’t even have to play Northern Iowa and South Dakota st.  Right?   We had a weaker schedule right?  What’s the conference done for us nothing.  Even Strollo who used to be on the internet committee got us nothing as well as that worthless commissioner.  We would have got in at 8-3 and I wonder if we played a tougher non conference game at home would make a difference
I forgot sometimes they use geography for regional brackets for an excuse.  The reason for that is for the non scholly BS schools that don’t have money helps them it’s bs

Yep! We probably would have been in at 8-3, but if you remember a few years back we were 8-3, granted a couple DII wins, but Lafayette at 6-5 over us! Really!  That is what I based my reasoning on!  As for the playoffs, it is North Dakota State and everyone else is a spectator for the most part!

YSU had NO CHANCE of getting in with Delaware and Montana bubble teams too.  We've watched this for 25 years.  Not to mention the field is now expanded.

At this stage of the program's development, it would have been nice to get in. But----that wasn't a good football team and we all know it. The resume was paper thin and it wasn't until the Mo. State game that I even thought it was possible to make the playoffs. I don't think they ever even got a top 25 vote.

Hopefully, it is a sign of growing into something.

If we make the playoffs OR DON’T then you need to bring Paladin back.

Fixed it! Bring back the best analyst YSU athletics has.

I agree with this statement.  Those other teams lost big or were losing games in November.  Guess that doesn't matter anymore when you are still in the best FCS conference

It would have been nice but it is what it is.

Not that long ago we would have been excited to even be in the conversation.
