It may be too early to say for sure but my theory that you have to play teams better than you to get better is showing up. Ferris State has put up 56,34,and 59 points in three D2 wins after getting schooled at NDSU. They went from unranked preseason to # 18,should jump up a few more spots in this weeks' D2 poll.
Have been watching a lot of FBS football. Seriously I think NDSU could beat at least 50 % of the FBS teams,maybe more. I think they might win the MAC. The only team in the MAC that I think possibly could beat them would be Northern Illinois.
