Episode Details

The College Football Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network continues its 138 college football team preview series with the North Dakota State Bison 2026 Season Preview. Pick Dundee aka (@TheColbyD) & Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac) break down the 2026 North Dakota State Bison roster and what to expect in the Mountain West this season. Can the winningest program in FCS history carry a 12-1 finish straight into life as an FBS program? What does the jump to the Mountain West mean for a team not yet eligible for a title or bowl?

At 26-3 through two seasons, is head coach Tim Polasek the right man to lead this move up? Can offensive coordinator Dan Larson keep the points coming with career backup Nathan Hayes stepping in at quarterback? How does an elite FCS defense under Grant Olson and Nick Goeser hold up against a full Mountain West schedule? Does a slate with Air Force, UNLV, Nevada, New Mexico and Hawaii set up a fast start? And where's the betting value on the North Dakota State win total, Mountain West odds and FBS debut? We talk it all and more on this episode of The College Football Experience.
