Both of these FCS teams are playing their first game of the 2025 season. North Dakota State enters the year No. 1 in the FCS Coaches Poll, while The Citadel is unranked and did not receive any votes in the poll.

North Dakota State is coming off a national title in 2024, defeating Montana State 35-32 in the title game to win its 10th title in the last 14 seasons. The Bison won despite having a first-year head coach, Tim Polasek, at the helm.

The Citadel is looking to improve on last season’s 5-7 campaign. The team was 3-5 in SoCon play, finishing sixth in the nine-team conference. It was a huge improvement over 2023, when the Bulldogs went winless in Maurice Drayton’s first year as head coach.
