North Dakota State University (NDSU) is seeking to attract ESPN's College GameDay to its opening game on August 29, 2026, against Jacksonville State. Past appearances have seen the Bison host the show twice during their FCS success, but they were not featured for Week 0. Experts suggest NDSU’s best hope for a future College GameDay stop could be on October 3 against Wyoming, or during a matchup against UNLV on October 10, which is already regarded as one of the top games to watch this season. Both games will showcase NDSU's transition into the FBS.
- •NDSU opens its FBS era against Jacksonville State on August 29.
- •NDSU previously hosted College GameDay during its FCS dynasty.
- •Upcoming potential games for College GameDay include Wyoming and UNLV.
- •NDSU has an undefeated record on College GameDay.
