Is it me or is South Dakota St consistently overrated and ranked too high?

You want to talk overrated? UNI at #13... That's overrated.

I don't think so. They are usually a solid team that have the potential to get really far. If they didn't have the brick wall known as the Bison standing in their way, they would have more success over the past few years. They've made the playoffs five straight years, and been knocked out by NDSU three of them (and us another one). This year, they should have one of the best offenses, if not the best, in the FCS. They remind me of EWU last year with a strong, mobile QB, and fantastic receivers. They have an almost "Cooper-ish" receiver in Weineke, and they have presumably the best receiving tight end in the FCS. They will be very difficult to stop. In all honesty, they are one of the teams I really wouldn't want to face right now. They've been struggling to rise for a few years, and have been on the cusp. I think this is the year they take the Valley.

Spot on on every level. In the past, maybe a little overrated. This year, not at all. They have a shot at winning it all this year if they stay healthy.
