Before the playoffs even kicked off, North Dakota State was the odds-on favorite to repeat as FCS champions. The Bison were anywhere from -250 to -300 to win the title, and they showed their strength in blowout wins over Montana State and Colgate. However, they now face a South Dakota State team that has given them a lot of trouble over the last three seasons.
