Clocks will be turned back next Saturday night, but in one way, it's already happened in FCS college football this season. Three teams are unbeaten entering November and they're the same three as last year. -- North Dakota State, which is 8-0, and Princeton and Dartmouth, each 6-0. NDSU, the two-time defending FCS champion, has won 29 straight games -- the longest active streak in Division I. The Bison are four wins shy of their all-time longest streak in the FCS -- 33 games from 2012-14 -- and can match it by winning their four remaining games in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. They'll open play in November with a road trip to Youngstown State next Saturday night followed by home games against Western Illinois and South Dakota and a road finale at Southern Illinois. - AP College Football
