North Dakota State moves onto national radar following poll voting recognition

Summary

North Dakota State earned six votes in the recent US LMB Coaches Poll following a 2-0 start to its season. The program moved up to the FBS level this year after a long tenure of success in the FCS. In the latest voting, the Bison finished ahead of several established teams, including Clemson, which recently dropped out of the top 25 rankings. Nevada Sports Net currently lists North Dakota State as the top team in its Mountain West rankings based on a defensive effort that has allowed only seven points through two games. The Bison now prepare for a Saturday matchup against Air Force to begin their Mountain West Conference schedule. This upcoming game marks the first conference test for the program since transitioning to the higher division.
