One College Football Playoff pairing witnessed a shakeup. But this one arrived in the Fargodome — as powerhouse North Dakota State took a massive upset against Illinois State 29-28. And the Bison's loss comes nearly two weeks after locking in a seven-year contract for head coach Tim Polasek .
The Bison have built themselves as a longtime superpower in the CFB realm. NDSU is annually in contention for national titles at the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) level. And they've become a heavyweight in the shadow of Ohio State, Alabama, Texas, Georgia, etc.
The Redbirds, however, just pulled off the biggest upset in the FCS. Illinois State entered as a huge 23.5-point underdog and won off a two-point conversion try . But the Bison's season ends in stunning fashion.
