So far this October, North Dakota State hasn’t looked quite like themselves. Now, it should be clear that as of right now the Bison are still the top team in the country and their only loss has come at the hands of a Pac-12 opponent. They’re #1 and likely will be when the updated rankings come out in a few days.
That being said, Matt Entz’s team hasn’t passed the eye test of a juggernaut gunning for its 10th national championship in recent weeks. Last week NDSU beat Youngstown State but struggled in some areas of the game.
