NDSU, 10 FCS titles between 2011 and 2024, is FBS now — Mountain West, 4:30 p.m. CT, CBSSN, Fargodome. Jacksonville State has 27 FBS wins and QB Caden Creel. HX has Jax State 83rd. NDSU is not on the HASHMARK 136-team table. SP+ already has 138 teams including NDSU and Sacramento State. Nathan Hayes is listed as NDSU’s starting quarterback.
Why it matters
Most significant program-status game of the weekend, and a hole in the HX board.
