But they had their ups and downs and it came down to a tie-breaker for the playoff spot. The Montana game was thrown out and a weaker "D2 like" program was selected to go instead of NDSU. I think that was the real end of D2 football for NDSU: to be penalized for being good was just too much.

Yep, I'd be that drunk ownin' your sorry ass from the front row of the comedy club. The guy heckling you for whom you consistently have no answer.

At that time a game against an FCS (D1-AA) team was not counted. You were penalized for inter-divisional scheduling in D2 with regard to playoff at-large selection. The win at Montana cost NDSU a playoff spot. It was a loser no-count game in the tie-breakers.

Dude, you've been owned like OBSF's '91 Ford Focus on this (and every OTHER) thread. The only one who doesn't see it is you (and your butt buddy lakesbison).

During that time naturally. In fact that was the excuse UND used when they quit playing NDSU in football after The BISON moved up. Unfortunately they also stopped playing them in the other sports too so the motive was unclear but not difficult to deduce.

You mean, the Bizon played an inter-divisional "non-counter" game? Oh the humanity!!!! And Oh the hypocrisy!!!!
JBB the game vs Montana in 2003 counted, it just wasn't worth alot in DII's stupid point system they used in selecting the playoff field. There are people who know much more about how the whole system worked then I do, but from what I can remember beating Montana was like beating a below .500 DII team.

They didn't stop counting, in 2003 I-AA wins counted less than a DII win towards strength of schedule for playoff selection. This was the point system used in 2003. A I-AA win was not worth as much as a DII win.
This is from the NCAA link from 2003. It has changed since then.
The strength-of-schedule index is calculated as follows:
Win versus a Division II opponent with a record greater than or equal to .700 on the road—14 points
Win versus a Division II opponent with a record greater than or equal to .700 at home—13 points
Win versus a Division II opponent with a record greater than .500 on the road—12 points
Win versus a Division II opponent with a record greater than .500 at home—11 points
Win versus a Division II opponent with a record of .500 or below on the road—10 points
Win versus a Division II opponent with a record of .500 or below at home—9 points
Win versus a team from a Division I or Division I-AA automatic-qualifying conference, or a Division I-AA independent opponent—8 points
Loss versus a Division II opponent with a record greater than or equal to .700 on the road—8 points
Loss versus a Division II opponent with a record greater than or equal to .700 at home—7 points
Loss versus a team from a Division I or Division I-AA automatic-qualifying conference, or a Division I-AA independent opponent—6 points
Loss versus a Division II opponent with a record greater than .500 on the road—5 points
Loss versus a Division II opponent with a record greater than .500 at home—4 points
Win versus a team from a Division I-AA non-automatic-qualifying conference—4 points
Loss versus a Division II opponent with a record of .500 or below on the road—3 points
Loss versus a Division II opponent with a record of .500 or below at home—2 points
Win versus a non-Division I or Division II opponent—2 points
Loss versus a team from a Division I-AA non-automatic-qualifying conference—1 point
Loss versus a non-Division I or Division II opponent—1 point
The strength-of-schedule index is calculated by adding the total number of points and dividing by the total number of games played. A neutral-site contest is defined as being in neither team’s locale, and as such, is considered a road game.
