Big Sky Predictions - Week 12

Post by Mvemjsunpx »

Portland St. 45-31 EWU — In the Dam Cup, the Viks break through the ramshackle dam that is the Eagle defense

NoDak 24-28 CallipoliWill the Fighting Hawks' tough conventional run D translate to the option?

Davis 34-31 Sac State — They should try to top the UM/MSU Trophy & give the winner a giant section of highway

NAU 27-30 SuutahThe T-Birds win an outright title by ending the Grand Canyon Rivalry's road streak

Idaho St. 10-44 WeberBack to normal in this series

Montana 44-27 Montana St. — Both teams have lights now; why do they keep playing this at noon? :?

ACU 21-42 NoCoFun fact: the Bears haven't attempted a field goal since October 3rd.

PSU - Vikes punch their playoff ticket.

Sac - K-Ham finishes a strong FR season, Sears goes 2-0 in Causeway's as HC.

NAU - 'Jacks spoil SUU's great season and make the playoffs.

WSU - Bungles keep being the Bungles.

MSU - I've been making bad picks all year, why stop now?

UNC - Bears finish off a much improved season.

I would be very, very, VERY suprised if Weber could put 44 points up on anybody

It's ISU. If your defense can force them into a few FG attempts, Weebs should be able to run them back for TDs when they snap it over the holders head.

58-23 for the year. On to rivalry week. Tough games to predict, but here's an attempt at perfection.

ISU at WSU---The Bengals are trying to close out a really trying season. The Wildcats have the opportunity to build for the next season. A win for the home team...WSU 27, ISU 20.

UM at MSU---Both the Bobcats and the Grizzlies have been good at home and not so hot on the road. The Bobcats would enjoy rubbing the Grizzlies nose in this one, if they keep the Griz home...MSU 48, UM 45.

UND at CP---The Dakotans seem to think they are on the verge of a playoff spot, so what a great opportunity once more for the Mustangs to play spoiler and put those thoughts to rest...CP 38, UND 21.

NAU at SUU---The Lumberjacks have been playing really well lately and could get a playoff spot with a win. The Thnderbirds are thinking they are in, but that may not be assured after this week...NAU 38, SUU 36.

Abilene Christian at UNC---The Bears have surprised all season and hope to build some momentum heading in to next year. A win would be a great stepping stone...UNC 24, Abilene Christian 20.

PSU at EWU---The Vikings are thinking playoffs and the Eagles would love to bring them back down to earth. The Vikings should be in regardless, but why leave any doubt abut your standing...PSU 42, EWU 35.

UCD at SAC---Both teams no doubt will burn this season once it is over. The Aggies and the Hornets are hoping for better things to come next year, but this was a nightmare...SAC 7, UCD 3.

Playoff bids: NAU, PSU, SUU

Griz haven't allowed 40 this year, and the Cats have scored 40 or more against the Griz exactly 3 times in 114 tries.

Both recent and ancient history are going to burn you on that one, JAL. 8-)

The Cats' offense hasn't done jack against the Griz since the first half of the 2010 game. :nod:

Normally I would say "it's ISU". But Weber struggles to score touchdowns when they get in the red zone, I don't remember a year where we kicked more field goals than this year.

Don't get me wrong I hope Weber lays the beat down on the Pocatatos after Kramer admitted to running up the score on Weber last year, and I hope the Weber players remember that as well.

And despite the one sidedness of the series it is still a rivalry game

What is the playoff status of NAU/Sutah, UND and Montana if NAU/Sutah loses, UND and Montana win? All will be 7-4, UND has a FBS win and NAU/Sutah a non D1 win. Could also throw in a possible 7-4 EWU.

PSU: Vikings have a defense, the Eagles have none.

UND: The Hawks defense does just enough to slow down the Stangs Triple Option.

UCD: The Aggies have played close against some good teams, should win against Sac.

SUU: Our defense creates turnovers and carries us to victory ending the "away team wins" streak.

WSU: Weber State builds for next season with a good win.

UM: The Griz win and thanks to their reputation get into the playoffs, Griz @ SUU first round perhaps?

UNC: Bears win to lay foundation for next season.

Since 1st round is based on bids, it would be SUU @ Griz regardless of record or BSC Champion. Silly i know.

If it were any other year, and the Griz got in with a 7-4 record, you might have an argument. This year, though, the Griz have significant wins that the committee will take into consideration: North Dakota State, Eastern Washington, and Northern Arizona. Just look back at the last time Montana went seven and four, in 2010. They didn't have a signature win, and they didn't make the playoffs. Reputation alone can't get you in. You have to have something on your resume.

Not denying that or trying to be insulting, just stating that Montana is one of the "big" schools of the FCS ranks up there with NDSU so it does go a little ways in helping.

No doubt this was a tough year for predictions. Not only in the Big Sky.
