    I could give you that last one, but that's an FBS, 3 top 5 teams, and an undefeated team @ home who has beaten several top 25 teams. I could be convinced to go as far up as 10, but I'd bet there are several top-10 FCS schools that would struggle playing @UND.

Pretty tough traveling schedule when you are taking it on the chin in that span.
    So I think we're all in agreement that @UND is the swing game there. The 5 wins UC Davis has are easily winnable for a top 25 caliber FCS team and the other 4 losses UC Davis has are games 95% of FCS teams lose.

    I don't think UND is as bad as their road losses to EWU and Idaho St indicate but I also don't think they're as good home wins vs SHSU, UC Davis, and Montana St have made them look either. They've had some self-inflicted issues on the road but they've taken advantage of the similar issues from visiting teams when they've been at home. Bottom line is a good team is capable of going to Grand Forks and beating UND and any one of those 3 could've did that had they played cleaner games.

    Just off the top of my head I'd take NDSU, JMU, Weber St, Sac St, Montana, UNI, Illinois St, and SDSU go to UND and win. I think you could make arguments for teams like Furman, Dartmouth, Monmouth, Nova, SEMO, Austin Peay, and Central Arkansas. That's 15 teams right there.

    You are corect on the year.

    Old Atlantic 10 sent 4 teams and I think all four were 7-1 conference quad champs, and 9-2 overall (excepting Delaware at 8-3).
    Did not look for regular season final standings, but googled 2004 fcs playoffs, that was one impressive bracket.

    I think we do agree on most all of it. The small disagreement might be that even though an argument can be made for 15, I don't believe that argument for about 5 of those I guess but it is not because I can or would make a case against any of them I just think 1/2 would win, the other 1/2 would not...outside of the top 5 or 6.

    You would be correct. Not a bad memory for old guy. Beat Lehigh, Furman, W&M, all at their places, and the Griz in Chattanooga.

    Unfortunately, it's hard to forget the pain of being one game away.

    Well, UCD has yet to play Montana State and Sac State. If they win both games are they a playoff team?

    It’s not as if UND would go 0-15 and might even pick off a top 5 at home. It’s also not a lock that everyone would go 5-0 with Davis’s wins.

    Yeah, I definitely remember their path that year. Especially remember the thought was W&M were probably gonna be the likely ones to win at that time. JMU had a bruising O line, great team. The safety was a monster too. Damn good running back, WR, hell they were Champs so I don't know why I'm going back over it they were just damn good everywhere.

    They were great, the field f'n sucked. But I always loved going to Chattanooga and spending some time there.

    I would think it would be a strong case that could be made depending on what else goes on of course but those would be at least a couple of top flight wins.
