It's the annual early morning quarterfinal kickoff as the Bison take on Toothpaste U from upstate New York. All kidding aside, Colgate brings the FCS's top-ranked defense to the Fargodome to face a North Dakota State team hitting on all cylinders. Fresh off a 52-10 thumping of Montana State, NDSU's focus remains singular -- Frisco, Texas. Can the Patriot League champs keep up with a physically dominant, hungry Bison team looking to continue their undefeated season and championship drive? 

Swany Says that NDSU has another big, big day, as the visiting Raiders will find themselves over-matched and out-gunned. 

On the FCS Face The Nation round table, Swany is joined by The Fan's Chase Miller, and Nolan P. Schmidt, editor of  Bison Illustrated , to discuss the rumors swirling around NDSU's coaching situation. It's the hottest topic in BisoNation this week. Will Chris Klieman be the next head coach for former Bison athletic director Gene Taylor at Kansas State. If Klieman takes the KSU job, who should NDSU tap as its next head coach? Swany goes through the names you've been talking about all week. The guys discuss the four quarterfinal contests this weekend, including Maine taking down No. 2 Weber State in Utah last night. Ring in some holiday football cheer with your pals on Herd It Hear With Swany.
