Which BIGSKY TEAM has the hardest CONF schd over next 4 yrs?

[FargoBison]

UND of course or at least that is what JBB told me so it must be right.

You actually think USD is going to come into the Valley and instantly contend for the title.....NO WAY!!

Illinois State completely dismantled USD this year. No way they are better than NDSU-UNI-Ill State-YSU-Ind State- SDSU-YSU......

They will be a doormat along with Misery State.


UND will do much better in the BSC compared to USD in the Valley.

You are way overvaluing a lot of MVFC teams
PPS Conference wars are retarded

Maybe but I saw all of those teams in person play except Indiana State and they did beat 1A Western Kentucky 7-5 that should have went to a bowl game.

Maybe USD will come into the league on fire and win it next year.....I doubt it but you never know. They have a full Valley schedule next year with Big 10 Northwestern and maybe Montana ( thought I read that on another site)...pretty tough schedule next year. I would be surprised if they win more than 2-3 games next year.

USD's last road win...Sept 11, 2010 at Minnesota. Since then they are 0-10 and 4-19 (1 win against a non DI opponent) in their transition period. I think they will need to learn how to win on the road before challenging for a title. UND is 7-14 on the road in their transition period, but has won 3 straight road games. UND will have more success in the Big Sky than USD will in the MVFC.

No argument from me.

UND needs to get rid of that SD Mines game and schedule a D1 counter. 7-8 wins is the # of wins to get considered for an at-large bid....that game has to go. Did Faison schedule that game? Should have known better with '12 being the year for playoff eligiblity....wow!

That is what is confusing to UND fans. Lets assume Faison scheduled this game, did he do it thinking UND was going to be stuck in the GWFC again? A lot of fans would rather UND schedule an FBS game than this garbage game. Maybe something will come up...he did get PSU to replace Central Arkansas that backed out maybe something can be done.

are we just talking about conference schedule? If we're talking about overall I am going with weber that's pretty brutal. The Eags are not too far beyond that with back to back FBS in the opening 2 weeks but Id have to look at each teams overall schedule.

This is kind of a wash. UND's schedule over that 4 year period isn't any more difficult than anything the current conference members play.

But if you want to generalize, I'd say whoever plays UM, EWU, and MSU the most over that 4 year period has the most difficult schedule, and whoever plays ISU, UNC, and UND the most over that same period have the easiest.

I have a feeling that UND will have a similar experience as NDSU had when entering the MVFC. Struggle the first few years while rebuilding then contend for titles. It will most likely take longer than it took the Bison to compete but they wont stay as bottom feeders for long.
