Not really... there's at the very least one that's 4-4......NAU.... they are better....at least they were today. And what's important is that this griz team beats the teams it's expected to but falters whenever the outcome is in doubt.....e.g. Cal poly and NAU. The two teams they really needed to beat so far on the schedule in regard to the conference title they failed.....and if they are incapable of beating teams with a modicum of drive and capability I for one can't imagine them making a run in the playoffs..... maybe there are not 20 teams with better players, but I would bet that there are 20 that play better as a team and get the job done in those types of situations.....but I'm also angry with the piss poor performance I saw earlier tonight and might be more rational in 12 hourshavgrizfan said:You actually think there are 24 other teams in the FCS better than the Griz? That's nuts

Too bad the playoffs are not the 24 best teams.

bigkid said:It's funny how people think we will go 8-3 and make the playoffs but what about 7-4? Montana will probably struggle against ewu and unless ewu has a off day Montana will probably lose. Hope not but that looks like a reasonable assumption. We have the upper hand against isu because we are at home but northern Colorado will be no push over. They have the same conference record and beat nau in flagstaff. We play them on the road. Toss-up seems likely. We can probably get by msu but only because we are home and their young quarterbacks will struggle with the atmosphere.
7-4 is a real possibility especially with what we saw yesterday. We really need to turn this pattern around and muster up a miracle in Cheney. We have yet to beat a good football team......

Agree; I'm not looking forward to seeing this team in the playoffs anyhow. Without significant improvement, they would be embarrassed by any teams that can throw the ball and put a little pressure on our QB.HelenaHandBasket said:bigkid said:It's funny how people think we will go 8-3 and make the playoffs but what about 7-4?

If the Griz lose to anyone in addition to EWU down the stretch, including a BAD UNC team, they don't deserve to be in the playoffs anyway.
