He has beaten a #1 JMU team in the semis in their house.
Good for him.
How did he fare the next week when it was all on the line?
He lost to a very good Richmond team. MVFC was nowhere to be found. You can't get to 4 NCs without winning big games along the way. Appy St. in the semis, etc.
Checking facts on your claimed dominance by the MVFC, I looked at Montana vs the top MVFC teams. Montana is:
4-5 vs NDSU
7-0 vs SDSU
8-0 vs UNI
1-0 vs S. IL
12-6 vs USD
Don't feel so dominated. The MVFC is very top-heavy. NDSU's dominance does not make the MVFC a dominant conference.
First of all, your all time record against NDSU is wrong. Second, I don't really care what happened in 1960 between UNI and Montana, it is irrelevant. Third, the way Montana has historically competed against the MVFC is not relevant as a whole when discussing conference vs conference.
At any point in the FCS/D1AA history, has anyone really said the Big Sky was the premier conference? I mean ever? Sure, Montana has put up a few good teams, but by and large the 2000's were owned by the CAA and SoCon, the 2010's have been dominated by the MVFC etc.
Look, all you need to do is just open your eyes and watch a playoff game. The best the Big Sky has to offer has not been good enough. The conference does not have a single team who can physically compete against NDSU and JMU. Not one.
