17 Time National Champion NDSU Bison vs SDSU Jackrabbits

I figured it was time to recreate the annual FCS Title Game poll.

I watched both semi final games. I feel like SDST is the better team this year. It would not surprise me to see NDST win again.

I voted jackrabbits but pretty hard to vote against NDSU.

Easy to click against them in an online poll, but with real money on the table bison typically have 70-90% of the vegas money on them.

Interesting how much attention is paid to the gambling aspect. That is something that has no importance to me. mtmuley

I don't care about the gambling - they are just fun bets when in vegas, but rather - in a casino or not, folks are more cautious with their money than with their mouse clicks.

Ok I was being nice this isn’t the same NDSU team, Jackrabbits by a million. I would put money on it.

If this bison team played that jacks team 10 times in the regular season I would guess jacks 7 out of 10. But 10 times with the title on the line in Frisco, I go Bison 7 out of 10. For 9 prior title games, I have sat with opponents' fans (in frisco and vegas) during the game and heard all the trash talk pre-game - yet they were much more reserved 3 hours later. The bison's last few teams have been weaker, and we really need to find an upgrade at QB, but somebody has to beat the king a few times in the title game to pretend they shouldn't be the favorite.

I have to check on the injury status for Bison, but if fully healthy I would guess the bison win a brutally physical game by a point or two, but will not be surprised if jacks win by a few. Should be a great game.

Send me your cash and I will place the money line bet for you while in vegas.

Is there a chance Luepke is recovered by then? I know he had surgery, but didn't really look into how bad his injury was.

Sadly no. He is their most dominant player and would fit this smashmouth game perfectly. Bummer.

With some of the players the bison lost either due to injury or the portal they will get toasted. I’m a bison fan.

Definitely one of their weakest teams and a dufus head coach, but I doubt they get toasted.

The Grizzlies were robbed. Bobcat game was rigged.

I'm gonna guess it's either SDSU or NDSU. I mean one of them has to win.

In all seriousness I didn't see enough of the game yesterday to decide. I am learning towards SDSU though from what I did see and what nephew said They seem hungry. I agree it's gonna be great physical game.

Dunno, those bunnies really looked pretty good against the bcats. And as said, NoDaks pretty banged up…

Robbed of what? The Cats were out played in every way possible yesterday. It will be tough for SDSU to beat the Bison twice in a year IMO.

Just being a goofball. I agree outplayed across the board.
