Maybe our defense played pretty well in that game? It sure felt like they did while I was watching it live. Plus I like their team and everything, but in the Big Ten wouldn't they be similar to an Indiana or maybe at best a Purdue?

Right.
I have a lot of respect for programs like Boise .. and the last few/couple seasons San Diego St and Fresno St have turned it (back) on.
But would they have the same records playing in the PAC-12 or Big Ten? No. Same argument for the team that wins the American, lately has been Houston or Central Florida. Would they have the same if playing in the ACC or SEC. No.
we'd be undefeated with NDSU's schedule
This ranking feels inflated. We are their only loss, but we aren't good, and they haven't beaten anyone better than us either.
It’s the second best win any Big Ten team got in non conference behind MD-TX.
All but 2 teams from 15 to 25 all lost so.... gotta put someone there.
Michigan State over Utah State also looking pretty solid.
And do we really know whether Texas is any better than Fresno State and/or Utah State?
Illinois would be unbeaten with NDSU's schedule.
If Fresno had not just RTUM ove rand over... I think they would have beaten us.
This is the crux of my earlier post. Even with Winfield still, Fresno had the athletes to test us on the perimeter and downfield. That is where they matched up with us. They eventually did it late in the game and shocker, they had success doing it. For some reason they just would not, which hey, I'll take it.

I overheard a national sportscaster last week talking about Fresno's only loss. Said it was to a "horrible Minnesota team". I had to chuckle. I mean, we're not great....but horrible?
