Heading into the 2024 FCS playoffs, the top four teams in the country were pretty clear. Not including games against FBS opponents or each other, Montana State, North Dakota State, South Dakota State and South Dakota all went unbeaten this season.
South Dakota State's odds have improved the most, mainly because it seems the Jackrabbits themselves have improved the most in recent weeks. They've overachieved against SP+ projections by an average of 13.9 points over the last five games.
After losing so many big-time pieces from an all-time great 2023 team, it took Jimmy Rogers' SDSU squad a little while to find fifth gear, but if last week's 55-14 romp over Incarnate Word is any indication, they've found it.
