sure theyre great in the fcs but they receive top 25 votes for all opf college football, meaning they get top 25 votes over fbs teams. since 2010 theyve played 5 fbs teams and beat all of them. 5 is a very small sample size, but the quality of competition is low.
In 2010 NDSU beat Kansas 6-3. Kansas finished 3-9 with one conference win.
In 2011 NDSU beat Minnesota 37-24. Minnesota finished 3-9 with 2 conference wins.
In 2012 NDSU beat Colorado State 22-7. Colorado State finished 4-8 with 3 conference wins in a G5 conference.
In 2013 NDSU beat Kansas State 24-21. Kansas State was a bowl team this year, so this is the only great win.
In 2014 NDSU beat Iowa State 34-14. Iowa State finished 2-10 with a winless record in conference play.
Talk to me when NDSU beats Nebraska or Texas.
