Bison football drops in both polls

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Three-time defending national champion North Dakota State has dropped to fourth in both Football Championship Subdivision polls after the team’s first loss in more than two years.
 
     Northern Iowa beat the Bison 23-3 over the weekend, snapping NDSU’s 33-game winning streak, the longest in FCS history.
 
     NDSU is now fourth in this week’s coaches’ poll and Sports Network poll. The Bison had held the top spot in the coaches’ poll for 30 straight weeks, and in the Sports Network poll for 30 of the last 31 weeks.
 
     Coastal Carolina is first and New Hampshire second in the coaches’ poll. The schools swap spots in the Sports Network poll. Jacksonville State is third in both polls.
 
     NDSU travels to unranked Missouri State on Saturday.
