With home field advantage, it's 12.18--but same conclusion.

Gonna be awesome when they go into Iowa city and leave with a 12.19 point win

Ya see.....we're in Iowa.
So you gotta let me score 12.19 points.
If we were in Germany,
I'd have to score 2 touchdowns.
But we're in Iowa, so you gotta give me 12.19.
............It's regulation.

NDSU rated higher than 4 teams in the Big Ten West. Also highest-rated non-conference opponent for Iowa.

Not that it means much at this point, but they're rated higher than 4 SEC teams.

Just a reminder and comparison, Bison ended last season at #36.
