Big Sky has been the best conference for the last couple years. NDSU are the dominant program in FCS but it helps that they play 1 FBS exhibition game every year or two and then get to rest against YSU, NIU, SDSU and the rest of the MVC cake walk. SDSU just lost t0 USD who we beat before we even figured out how to play. NIU has never beaten us, that I can think of, play-offs or otherwise. Youngstown were really good in the 90's, Illinois State had one good year and have one good player. The mighty Bison almost lost to UCD who we beat like they stole something. You are the Champs until proven otherwise but your conference schedule is a joke.
LOL....NDSU played and beat 4 playoff teams this year.
Last 5 years, three different MVFC teams have played in Frisco. Besides the three to play in it, you have SDSU who has had the luxury of running into NDSU deep in the playoff. How many from the Big Sky have played in the championship game this last decade? How many championships? Hell, name all the Big Sky teams that have played in the semi finals.
There are more playoff wins by MVFC teams this decade than any other conference. Besides EWU, which program has had sustained success in the playoffs recently?
You do realize that SDSU lost their starting QB and their All American running back right? Illinois State lost their starting QB and arguably their second best offensive player in Jeff Procter. Injuries do happen but they have been detrimental to those teams. When healthy,
do you really think any Big Sky team beats SDSU?
