Will this year's playoffs matter?

I think NDSU would have no problem walking into Washington Grizzly stadium and putting on a nice little show. I think the Griz Nation should be thankful that NDSU is not playoff eligable this year.

Agreed.

NDSU would beat us by double digits in WGS. The Bison are a damn good football team and they win on the road.

I'm not saying those players aren't D-I academic caliber but that's the reason for the rule. And it makes sense.....you could, as a D-II school, recruit players that wouldn't make the D-I standards, then move up to D-I with those players and have a slight edge.

It sucks for NDSU, and the FCS as a whole, because they're probably the best team in the division. But I thik

Never said it was.

If they do it for one (NDSU), they must do it for all (other transitioning teams). A precident would be set, and they would seem weak. Won't happen.
