Colter isn’t exactly unbiased. In fact, I heard he picked us to lose to sac by at least one or two scores. Shows how much colter knows. That said, swap sac state and Montana state and I say he’s got it right.
I actually think the Sac State team I saw in Missoula is better than the Montana State team I watched last week in Bozeman mainly because of Kevin Thomson's talent at quarterback. But Sac's best win is Northern Colorado and Montana State's best win is Western Illinois, advantage MSU in this first power poll.
I did pick Sac State to beat Montana by 10 points live on ESPN radio. You can listen to the podcast if you'd like. Not sure how that has anything to do with bias. I would not have picked Montana to lose to Sac State if I would've known first-team All-Big Sky DE George Obinna, All-Big Sky DT Dariyn Choates and All-Big Sky CB Dre Terrell would not play.
Those injuries were not the only factor in my prediction being incorrect. This Montana team is flat better than I thought they were. Dalton Sneed is better, the coaching is better, the defensive scheme is better, Dante Olson is better, the converted wide receivers playing cornerback are better...pretty much across the board, it's all better than I expected it to be even given what I watched during spring ball, fall camp and in the non-conference.
Now Montana has a real chance to continue building momentum through the month heading into the late October showdown with UC Davis. It will be fun to watch.
