    Default Can anyone in the FCS beat NDSU besides NDSU? Serious question

    After watch NDSU defeat the alleged 4th ranked team in the country, can any one in the FCS realistically beat NDSU this year absent NDSU having 3 or 4 turnovers and playing their D+ game? I watched an NDSU team cruise against Montana. The game was never in doubt even though the offense and Wentz is playing circa 80% of their capabilities. They are going to crush the MVC. When Wentz gets more experience and his swerve on, NDSU is going to crush opponents.

    I am not being a homer, whom has drank too much Kool Aid. Who in FCS has a chance to beat us especially in the playoffs? Perhaps, if NDSU has 3 turnovers and plays their D+ game, they could lose on the road to Northern Iowa. So worst case scenario, NDSU has one loss and home field advantage throughout the entire playoffs until the championship. Eastern Washington is too soft to compete with us.

    Goliath has no threats in the foreseeable future. Absent moving up, there is only one team that can beat North Dakota State. That is North Dakota State.

    Playing sdsu and uni back to back is going to be tough. And if we make it through those the next could be a classic let down game no matter who we play

    What about that McNeese State team? I don't know anything about them but they have only played 2 games so far and gave Nebraska a game.

    It is going to be extremely tough for us to go undefeated this year in the Valley. Two losses aren't outside the realm of possibility. Maybe BisonAudit can chime in with his crazy graph but going undefeated has to be below 10%. Still hoping for #40 though, would be epic.

    30% undefeated.

    UNI and Nova might be good enough to beat NDSU straight up. EWU, SDSU, SIU, and a couple others would pull it off with a marginal game out of NDSU.

    Missouri State looked decent against Oklahoma State and we usually play like crap down there

    Yes, if other teams play perfect and NDSU plays below average, this team can lose.
