On Sunday North Dakota State received the No. 3 seed in the FCS Playoffs and will get a first-round bye.
The Bison will host the winner of South Dakota State at Montana on Dec. 5th at 2:30 p.m. at Gate City Bank Field.
NDSU has won four consecutive FCS Championships, but this is the lowest seed the green and gold has received in the last four postseasons.
Including NDSU, five Missouri Valley Football Conference teams made it in the 24-team playoff bracket. Those teams are: Illinois State, South Dakota State, University of Northern Iowa and Western Illinois, and they are all on the same side of the bracket.
In state rival University of North Dakota did not make the postseason even though they had a win over FBS team Wyoming. The Fighting Hawks also beat seeded team Portland State this season.
If UND would’ve made the postseason, it would’ve been the first time since 1995 that the Grand Forks university and Fargo university both made the playoffs.
NDSU student tickets are on sale Monday and Tuesday at the Memorial Union or Bison Ticket Office inside the Fargodome lobby from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
