UNA currently has 5 D-1 games on their schedule and 5 D-2 games.

This discussion is almost completely irrelevant because it doesn't matter if this game counts as an FCS win or not for NDSU in the long run, but if UNA can't find another FCS game does that mean it doesn't count as an FCS win?

Also shoutout to Incarnate Word for pulling a Montana State on UNA.
That's a good question. It seems unlikely they could get a game with a D1 team at this point but there are whole load of postponements/cancellations this week so maybe that would allow UNA to find a mutual opening with someone since they now have both 10/27 and 11/17 open. Even with 6 D1 games they're still only at 55% D1 games on their schedule so not sure it would matter much.

But, like you said, it shouldn't matter much. I think the only time it would come into play is if NDSU is right on the threshold of D1 wins needed for an at-large. The championship handbook says something like "any team with less than 6 D1 wins may be given less consideration for an at-large selection". So I hope it doesn't really matter. It if does Bisonville would've imploded by that point creating a massive black hole in the internet that would probably bring the entire world to it's knees.
