FARGO, N.D. (AP) - The North Dakota State University football team closes out its regular season against Illinois State on Saturday, in a matchup featuring two of the nation's top Football Championship Subdivision teams.

Defending national champion NDSU (9-1, 6-1 Missouri Valley Football Conference) is No. 1 in both FCS polls; Illinois State (8-2) is No. 11 in both polls.

NDSU can win the conference title outright with a win over the Redbirds. The Bison clinched a share of a second straight MVFC championship with their 20-17 win over South Dakota State last week.

Saturday's game is at noon at Hancock Stadium in Normal, Ill. The Bison beat the Redbirds 20-10 last season in Fargo.
