Road wins in-conference are always difficult, but based on results this week, it will be even more rare this year. Only 1 road team won - Missouri State. MISSOURI STATE! By far the closest game was the Yotes game, as we spent the 2nd half in striking distance, but couldn't make hay (yes, Pick 6).


(BTW - MSU. That isn't great news for the rest of the conference if MSU is able to win a road game against a ranked team. I know we don't play them, but teams expected a fairly straight forward W. If that flips to an 'L' for a few teams, it will be a jumbled mess for the distribution. I'm guessing the conference winner will have 2 L's this year.)

I will wait until after this week to see how I feel about road wins this season. You had NDSU, UNI and SDSU all playing at home. They are 3 of the top 4 teams in the preseason poll. If they go out and lose 2 of 3 this week then I might agree with you. I don't think USD was favored either. That means there was one (or maybe two if you count the SDSU game) upsets. Otherwise things went as expected
