Big game in Missoula this week followed by a big one the following week! Exciting times for PLAYOFF bound Montana Grizzlies Football!
Go figure. Means not a whole lot considering the two regular seasons we have left. We win or we don't.
So this weekends game is for the BigSky title and a top 3 Seed.
...no pressure

So if we beat Weber this weekend, would you advocate moving Sac to #2 or #3? Or is beating the #3 team in the country (that already beat #6) not enough to jump from 6 into the top 4?Btown said:
As long as Thomson is out, I don't know why anyone would have issue with putting us over Sac. They struggled to beat NAU last weekend (by all accounts should have lost). I take it you also have a problem with UND being 16 spots below MSU?
Key games happening this weekend.
#4 UNI @ #8 South Dakota State
#3 Weber State @ #5 Montana
If UNI loses and we beat Weber State, we’re looking at being ranked #3 heading into the Brawl. We’re right where we want to be.

My guesses did quite well in the top ten and the bottom seven, but had some problems in the middle. I am mildly surprised that the pollsters dropped South Dakota State a couple more spots than I expected, but that’s minor. A much bigger surprise was how far down they hammered Princeton, all of eight spots after losing to a ranked team. Not sure what to make of that.
On the good side, the pollsters look like they’ve finally gotten over their love affair with Kennesaw State. I thought the Owls might nudge up a bit because North Carolina A&T lost above them and provided an opening. But the voters actually dropped them by one. Despite our doubts, K-State is not a bad team, and I think #16 looks okay.
On the other hand, the pollsters were much nicer than I expected to Central Arkansas. They still dropped seven spots. However, I expected an even bigger drop since they got pounded at home by unranked Southeast Louisiana. On the other hand, my new rule about such upsets worked fine: SELA did move into the top-25.
As I expected, North Dakota and New Hampshire dropped out. And, also as I expected, Austin Peay move in.
I just noticed that one of my thoughts did happen. In the previous poll, UNI was just 5 points ahead of the Griz. The Griz hammered Idaho (4-6), 42-17, while UNI struggled with Indiana State (3-7), 17-9. Yet the Panthers widened their lead to 85 points over the Griz. Go figure. [Edit: Was about to post when I realized that "stubbins" had also caught this last point. Will leave it in anyway.

It is in the sense that, the Griz can't win the title IF they lose to Weber. Weber wins, and clinches at worst a share of the title. A two-loss Griz team can't win the Big Sky if Weber has no losses going into the final weekend of the season. So yes, for the Griz, this game is to have, at least a chance at a SHARE of the Big Sky
