Just goes to show what you can do when you establish a culture of success and a consistent program philosophy. NDSU is really impressive.

My father's alma mater. He keeps saying he wants a game against Michigan, and that's one I'd love to see, even though we don't play FCS anymore.

I would hate to see this. Let's try to avoid any possible horror stories, even if we have harbs

It took me an hour to log onto this post without the site crashing, but I was gonna say - Maybe we should schedule them for our home opener! Ba-dum Bum

NDSU can beat at least half of the FBS teams right now. They're that good. Also, Carson Wentz appears to be bound for 1st round in the draft

Matt Hinton tweeted that they're at least on a level with Minnesota and Kansas State right now. Which is not a stretch, since they have beaten both teams in recent memory.

in Iowa City week 3 this fall. Should be a good measuring stick. Wouldn't be too surprised if they give the yellow and black a run for their money.

More like maize and black, now that we've toned down our color of corn.

The current head coach has only been in charge for the last two. Craig Bohl was the guy who started everything up and won the first three, he is now the HC at Wyoming.

I would love to see them move up. Some schools that have moved up recently probably shouldn't have, but they definitely could compete, IMO.

It's North Dakota. I don't really see a world in which they really become a competitive D1 program. Maybe they make more money, but what's better for the school? Being dominant in FCS or maybe peaking as a 10-2 MAC team? I say stay down in FCS and enjoy it

They didn't have the best season either and they still rolled through the playoffs

Incredible they've been able to win 5 straight titles in a playoff format, across two head coaches, and recruiting to North Dakota. Surely one of the greatest and most impressive dynasties in college football history

Best quote from the commentary: they were taking about how NDSU had 9 more wins than Alabama over the past 5 years. One of the announcers said, "that's a Bo Pelini season worth."

Whenever I hear NDSU, I think of when UND was taking suggestions on what to change their mascot to. The list of choices not under consideration was epic. So many of them were something negative towards UND and the reason given to select that name was Go NDSU!

I worked at NDSU from 2005 to 2008. Back then they weren't even eligible for the playoff because they had just recently moved up from D2! They went 10-1 one year that I was there, but I had no idea they were about to rip off 5 straight national titles.
