No doubt their fans are loving it but I think that NDSU's dominance is bad for 1AA. Boring for everyone else when the same team wins so much. No Clemson out there to make it interesting.
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.
