North Dakota State: NDSU Dissed by SDSU After Season-Defining Loss in CFP Picture.

North Dakota State · UNLV

North Dakota State had a chance to make a statement on Saturday. That's the first part of what made Saturday's result so painful.

That's not the only negative out of the weekend, though. NDSU also has South Dakota State talking trash their way.

South Dakota State coach Dan Jackson joined a radio show in Sioux Falls on Monday and didn't hold back. He was asked how he thinks SDSU would perform at the FBS level, specifically in the Mountain West that NDSU is currently in.

The Jackrabbits are still down at the FCS level, the former Division I-AA. "I think we'd be at the top of that conference."

KEY POINTS

  • NDSU Dissed by SDSU After Season-Defining Loss in CFP Picture.
  • In a battle of two of the top Group of 6 teams in the country, NDSU took on UNLV with huge College Football Playoff implications.
  • UNLV topped NDSU 13-7, and with that North Dakota's dreams of the Playoff in their first season at the FBS level probably withered on the vine.
  • The Bison had begun the season 5-0, but they won't have a chance at any marquee wins the rest of the way — and if UNLV was also in the conversation at the end, the Rebels would now have that head-to-head result in their favor.
