They didn't exactly steamroll the competition by any means with most games coming down the the final drive and some into overtime! Fact is they are in a catch 22 right now, if they were to switch they would have a huge disadvantage when it comes to recruiting compared to just about every other team in the country leading them to be middle of the pack if they were lucky. Now the reverse side is if they stay the have a huge recruiting advantage over all the rest of the FCS because they are able to attract guys who would normally play for an FBS school but choose the bison because they know they will get far more playing time vs the bigger program giving them a better shot at making it to the NFL. The more they win the better they are at recruiting the better they are at recruiting the more they win. Then add in ESPN's love affair with them with college game day and more games on the mother ship and you have yourself a recruiting juggernaut that is pretty much impossible for any other team in the FCS to compete against. Now at some point perhaps this year or next or when ever they will stumble and their advantage will decrease and perhaps eventually disappear but till then I say ride this wave and bring on more 40 point margins of victory because they make the drinks that much better during the 4th!</p></blockquote><p></p>
