anyhow..has NDSU played anyone with talent yet? They have a brutal second half of their season about to start

That's part of the deception of NDSU's start of this season. They've played no one notable.

Massey Numbers as of 9/30 games (All NCAA Divisions):
Mississippi Valley State 498
at Eastern Washington 94
Robert Morris 292
Missouri State 229
at Indiana State 190

SOS Rating 184

JMU for comparison:
at East Carolina 125
East Tennessee State 247
Norfolk State 319
Maine 143
at Delaware 151

SOS Rating 173

I saw that NDSU's final six regular season games are all against currently ranked FCS teams. It was cupcakes for four of the first five and a gauntlet for the final six. IMO, EWU isn't a top 100 team compared to FBS. No way. Top 150 sure.
