So basically NDSU is working their way up after not starting on the ballot.
Wow. Not even in the top 25....crazy talk. If it were not in the top 10 with all of the personnel (players and coaches) I could see that but not even the top 25.
I think on any given year there may be 10 teams that have a legit shot at the national championship.
Thanks for the explanation Ursus.

Me either. I normally post my top 25 to get others opinions on what I see or don't see from other teams.

But, our defense is legit (yes, I can't believe I wrote that either) and we have a stable of really good skill position players. Brock is a serviceable QB right now and if we can get a consistent running game, we could make a playoff run.
That argument is pretty weak when you lost to UND's true freshman third string QB, who came in cold after the backup was injured after the second drive. Eric Schmid still threw 30 passes and only averaged 3.8 yards per attempt. Ty Brock only played 4 series and attempted 6 passes total.
UND just has a good pass D. I think you guys do deserve to be ranked, however.

That's my point. I wasn't saying that we are top ten, but we are better than some in the top 25.

A legit NDSU fan? I think not.
Please whoever you are just put it out here and own it.
Re: AGS Poll Results - WEEK 6 - 2019 SEASON
I try not to critique anyone poll. Only because my system may not be their system. However, NDSU not being a consensus #1 does baffle me. I do get stuck each week on JMU and South Dakato being 2 or 3. It is a coin flip for me.

Even with that very odd rationale, any other team not named NDSU would be the consensus #1 if they did what we have done this year
Re: AGS Poll Results - WEEK 6 - 2019 SEASON
Here's this week's poll article: http://thefcswedge.com/ags-poll/ags-...-25-results-2/
A few thoughts:
- I was surprised to see EWU drop completely out. Good on the voters for not propping up an undeserving team based on name and success in the past season.
- Sac St cracks the top 25 for the first time in nearly 7 years. Congrats to the Hornets!
- It looks like a lot people struggled with the #13-#16 spots like I did when voting. NC A&T is a nice team but a beatdown of hapless Norfolk St certainly didn't warrant a 5 spot jump but there's not much else to put there which is evidenced by the fact that teams like Illinois St and Central Arkansas are right behind them despite getting trucked in their last game. It was also evident by the 300+ point spread between #12 and #13. Last week the 925 points that NC A&T has would've only got them to #17. This week it's good for #13.
