Hamilton, N.Y (Syracuse.com) — The way Colgate linebacker T.J. Holl views it, getting a chance to visit North Dakota State in a FCS playoff quarterfinal on Saturday brings its own reward even before the first second ticks off the game clock.

The Raiders may have little chance for any other personal satisfaction once the game actually begins, but that reality stops outside the Colgate locker room door.

The eighth-seeded Raiders (10-1) earned themselves a monumental challenge when they beat James Madison 23-20 on a last-second field goal in a second-round game Saturday. It redirected the team to City Bank Field at the Fargodome, home of one the most powerful dynasties in recent sports histories.

The top-seeded Bison (12-0) are not only defending national champion, but they won the title five straight years from 2011 to 2015.
