[QUOTE="supermag, post: 184249, member: 264"] Unfortunately, NDSU can't exactly hand pick opponents at the start of the season. They try to get an FBS every couple years, but not many want to pay NDSU to potentially beat them. Last year they had 3 solid non-conference opponents, 2 that took them to OT and the Iowa Hawkeyes that had a great season at the FBS level the year before and finished strong last year. This year they have 2 cupcakes (still D1 teams) and a perennial contender in Eastern Washington. Eastern looks to be in a down year, but that contract was signed in 2014. Looking ahead, they've scheduled Delaware (solid FCS program), UND(on the rise and will be much tougher than last time they played), Oregon,Arizona, and Colorado. I'd love them to have a couple solid non-conference games and 1 easier game every year,, but sometimes they need to get to 11 D1 games one way or another to get the schedule filled. [/QUOTE]
