I guess it all depends on what's going through the bowels of the conference leadership

Want to see one of the California schools from the Big Sky. My gut says either Missouri Valley or the Colonial.

Some thoughts after looking at the schedules for a bit: NAU and North Dakota only play 11 games. What's up with that? Cal Poly and Montana State don't play eachother, giving both a leg up. Montana has a pretty tough conference schedule, but the OOC is nice. UC Davis has a good schedule to do well, b...

sorry, stupid repost. very excited about this win i guess...

so so good. just. ugh so good.

wishing you and your family the best mate!

says link doesn't exist?

This whole discussion is fascinating to me, particularly regarding Azusa Pacific. I'd really seen NAIA to DII as a step up, if not a major one- more akin to transiting from FCS into FBS than from DII to DI- but it's interesting to think on how... libertarian the NAIA is vs. the NCAA. What made it wo...

crap, i just realized UCB-tOSU is the week after next, so obviously they can't be by upset special this week.

I'll go California-Los Angeles over Nebraska-Lincoln instead, please.

North Dakota State @ Colorado State

oh man i like McElwain and the Rams, but it sure would make the buffs look like jagoffs if this happens. think colorado state will be up for the game though.

eightyfour to nil is now the barometer by which florida state will be assessed by cfb pundits. if the final score is 64-9 or something like that, all of a sudden people will be questioning it, which seems a bit silly but it's what happens when somebody cleans the same opponent out by a dozen touchdo...

thanks for the pick'em, love these things.

lots of good ones to choose from! Really prefer ones that highlight some unique aspect of the state or city, or are creative in some way. agree that wildcats, bulldogs, and aggies- despite being the mascots of some of my favorite teams!- are poor excuses for nicknames. Extra points for keeping a sil...

good stuff, thanks for this mate. In!

pretty exciting stuff, with Sorensen getting a lot of preseason love and Padron coming in from SMU. should be a big season for the Big Sky, should be a few teams in the playoffs from this conference for sure.

In! love these things, thanks for putting it together mate.

Given the choices, you pretty much have to take the field. Looking back at the 2011 season, the two teams in the championship game didn't even show up in most preseason predictions . In 2010, the preseason #4 lost to the preseason #15 according to these rankings . It's been pretty rare for the favor...

One token western game? I'm going off the board. San Diego @ Cal Poly. There's actually quite a bit to be excited about in this game. Caragher has the Toreros back after a couple of down years following Harbaugh's departure, and have returned to contention with a 9-2 record last season and losses o...

no room for Haverford?

yeah i have so many questions and doubts about this as well. What would this look like, what would the Big Sky have to gain from this? Who gets bartered off to the WAC and at what cost?

Thanks for this poll and topic, this is actually something i've wondered about myself as well. It seems like the idea of a 'college town' is slightly different for everyone, with agreement on a few key points. I've never been to any of these cities (save portland's airport to change planes), but i'd...

Question - which was the last team to actually drop down? has anyone gone from 1-A to 1-AA sine the 70's when the divisions were created? I only know of teams moving up or dropping football altogether...

picks submitted!

UNH vs. Montana for the National Championship...?

Missing potential Left Coast upsets...

Sac State at NMSU
NAU at UNLV
EWU at Idaho or Wazzu

good chances for big upsets there...

I like Davis.
