I think this is a little incomplete, but history in any event.

Who's missing? That thread was kept up with through the entire season last year.

Here you go, I fixed it for you, my Bulldogs never got added apparently. I think this was it, nine of them.

Bwahahaha...I'm an idiot. Sending rep points your way! :)

[chattanoogamocs]

Every time I am about to give up on SDSU, they keep making it interesting at TCU.

EWU is flying high with 15 minutes to go.

Hang on UNI!!!

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

EWU about to finish off Washington State! Up 10 with 1:30 left!

[dewey]

Washington State just scored. 45-42 EWU leads with 14 seconds left. Barring miracle Eagles will get a good opening season win.

The EWU GAME next week in Fargo just got more interesting.

Dewey

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

EWU 45 Washington State 42 Final!

Congrats Eagles!! Based on preseason expectations this is a very solid FBS scalp!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

EWU wins, add another scalp!

Way to go UNI and EWU. Didn't think I'd say it but I'm now a little disappointed we didn't join you...

[Mike296]

Congrats to NIU! 25-20 win over ISU! Lets see if the 5 time champs can overthrow Iowa next week!

Two weeks. NDSU plays EWU first.

(And NIU wasn't playing Iowa State this week.)

NDSU has Iowa in 2 weeks. No easy game next week for NDSU as they host Eastern Washington who just beat preseason ~#25 Washington State.

I stand corrected thanks for that

I got NDSU vs EWU as my game of the week next week so that should be a great game

[chattanoogamocs]

Three P5's in one night...not too shabby.

Going to be honest I was completely wrong about this game. I didn't think SDSU stood a chance, but damn they fought their asses off! Tough loss!

[thebootfitter]

Seems the top FCS teams are pretty comparable to the top 25 or 30 CBS teams.

5 time champs vs. the last team not named NDSU to win National Championship plus the team that just beat P5 Washington State in the Fargodome.

Lots of great story lines for this game.

Game of the week for me too.

I've always had Northern Iowa as NIU and I know its UNI! I can never keep that straight for whatever reason.

[ST_Lawson]

I can understand the confusion....NIU is the only directional Illinois school not in the MVFC and they're playing against the coach who built/began the recent NDSU dynasty...so there's some MVFC connections there, but Northern Illinois is at Wyoming currently (game is delayed).

Call me nuts but I think SDSU may have the best team in the valley.

Agree.

[Mike296]

Jville state goes to Baton Rouge next week. Will we see another P5 scalp? Probably not but I really want to see LSU lose 2 straight to start the year after losing to my Badgers today!

Hey I was completely wrong too, so there's that. Hence why I didn't expect to be disappointed, but here I sit. Proud of how we played, but some fluke plays and a fumble with how close we were, well ****.

Depends. Wisconsin definitely showed how to beat LSU. We have the talent to go down and whip some tail, we just have to execute.

Lots of work to be done if we want to see that come to fruition though.

Yeah the Badgers beating LSU isn't the most helpful thing that could have happened for the JSU cause either. With how shut down their RB sir studly was (I can't spell his name) they're gunna be focused on it. However their QB didn't look like he could do much damage throwing at all that's for sure.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Man, huge congrats to all the teams that stepped up today and beat the big boys.

Really great work.

This might be a bit of a stretch but the reality is that the Bison may be lifting others in our Subdivision to be better.

What an unbelievable day for the FCS. Three massive P5 scalps.

I think we have the D line to contain Fournette. In my opinion our D-line looked better than last year's group. We won't shut him down but we don't need to shut him down, we just need to slow him down enough to get Harris to put it in the air. Harris is trash passing the ball and I firmly believe if we can get him to put it up we have a serious chance at stopping their offense.

I don't think they can stop our offense. Especially if Roc can get up feild more quickly. And we should be able to compete in the trenches.

Part of the reason we kept up with Auburn is because we slowed down the run game and their QB was trash. We need the same kind of results from our D-Line and Harris if we want a shot.

Agree.

Disagree, they have never proven anything. Played a decent game last night against a team that doesn't play defense.

[1984]

Every year every team has a chance to prove it and bring the National Championship Trophy home. So show me.
That is why I love FCS football.

To be fair the Badgers didn't contain Fournette all that well. He still got 138 on us but I guess thats better then the 250 yards rushing everyone was projecting.

Edit: Shoutout to Southern Illinois for their close game this weekend.

You're nuts. :) The Jacks looked very good, but NDSU and UNI remain the teams to beat. And SDSU plays both of them (and Illinois State) on the road this year. That is a brutal road schedule. If SDSU wins two of those three, home playoff game. If not... might be visiting Fargo in the second round AGAIN. Ugh.

Agree that the schedule is not in their favor, but I can see all three teams NDSU, SDSU, and UNI in any order 1-3 this year. With NDSU and UNI at home I'd call them the favorites. Even with the two split probably.

If SDSU manages to come out on top of those three for the conference, with this schedule, they better get a top two seed or I'll be pissed.

If I'd looked at the schedule yesterday, I probably would have said Northern Iowa and Eastern Washington, but now that both of them lost this weekend (both against very good teams, admittedly) and ISU and EIU each have FBS wins, plus the rivalry aspect (it's not the longest rivalry by any means, but anything that's been going on 100+ meetings is pretty solid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-America_Classic)
