Another of the few teams who are 4-0 after playing in Week 0, the Bison have continued to adjust extremely well to FBS. Aside from their game against Air Force in Week 3 in which they allowed 32 points, the Bison have allowed just 7, 0, and 10 in their other three games. And the offense has been rolling, putting up at least 31 points in every game this year as well. In a not-so-tough Mountain West Conference, the Bison can make history and turn themselves into a CFP darkhorse if they keep on winning.

The Bizon are impressing here in their first year in the FBS. 4-0 in the MW and in the drivers seat for the G6 representative, they’ll still face challenges in Dan Mullen’s UNLV in a couple weeks and Wyoming is never easy to play at in the mean time. NDSU, JMU, App State, and USF are the only remaining G6 squads, with a smattering of solid one loss teams also still in the running. It’s far from over but right now North Dakota State is in a great spot for year one.

USC & NDSU are both good teams but are also being heavily propped up by the extra game this early in the year. Maybe I'll change it to a value/game metric next year.

Another team that could challenge Boise St for the G6 bid, probably a great decision to move to the FBS.
