I take Massey's ratings of D2 teams vs DI teams with a grain of salt because there is no D2 v G5 or P5 (and precious few D2 v FCS games either.) That said, I'd expect that NWMSU would give NDSU all it could handle this year.
I've had discussions with Kenneth Massey regarding his ratings, and he's stated that they are not accurate when comparing divisions. He said FCS schools are about 10 spots too high in his opinion and D2 schools were closer to 20 spots.

Fun fact: He's an assistant math professor at Carson Newman, Bison opponent back in 2004.
