2) Columbus State
The Cougars have been a threat all year long and definitely as of late when they beat ranked teams in all six of their regional contests. A 23-6 record on the road should help them in a neutral site away from home.

The Vikings did not lose any more than five games on the road, at home, or on a neutral site. If they can pack their bags for the trip from Sioux Falls to Cary, then that might come in handy.
