American college football season
The 2008 North Dakota State Bison football team represented
North Dakota State University in the
2008 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The team was led by sixth-year head coach
Craig Bohl and played their home games at the
Fargodome in
Fargo, North Dakota. The Bison finished with an overall record of 6–5, tying for third place in the
Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC) with a 4–4 mark.
[1] After being ranked in the polls every week to that point, North Dakota State was bumped out of a likely playoff spot with a home loss in the season finale to
South Dakota State by one point.
