FARGO, ND (KVRR) – Missouri Valley Football Preseason polls and All-team Selections are out. Both NDSU and UND made quite the impression on the committee.
The Bison got 435 votes, good for second behind South Dakota State, who had 19 more. The Fighting Hawks come in right behind them with 357, after clinching a playoff berth in their first season in the conference, a feat no team in the Missouri Valley has ever accomplished. They were (5-2) overall.
The Bison come off (7-3) spring campaign, falling to Sam Houston in the FCS Quarterfinals, only their second time falling short of the championship game in ten years. They’ll have 20 returners.
