Oct. 28—We’ve reached the halfway point of our season of podcast episodes as the conference title races are heating up in a big way.
The focus of the FCS world will be in Brookings on Saturday as the South Dakota State Jackrabbits take on the visiting University of South Dakota Coyotes. For a second straight year, the schools will be wearing all blue and red.

But the in-state rivalry won’t just be for bragging rights. On paper, it’s a game between the 5th and 6th ranked teams in the latest poll. It could also very well put the winner in the prime position for a top-2 seed in the upcoming playoffs.
Elsewhere, the University of North Dakota will face an extremely tough road test. The Fighting Hawks will go up against Youngstown State to face a Penguins team that’s also eyeing a Missouri Valley Football Conference title.
To the west, the Montana State University Bobcats welcome Cal Poly to Bozeman. The Cats are looking to preserve their resume as the NCAA FCS Playoff Committee’s top team.
And the University of Montana Grizzlies will take the road trip west to face off against the Eastern Washington University Eagles on the red turf. The Grizzlies find themselves in a freefalling position in the polls, where they now sit ranked 14th.

The show is hosted by veteran FCS reporter Sam Herder and radio host Brad Jones. As the title suggests, it covers the FCS schools in North and South Dakota as well as Montana.
Throughout the season, fans will be able to listen to the show on this website and on the Midwest Sports+ and WDAY+ apps.
