BSC predictions Week 2

[mtjack]

About the same thing as the Griz record last year has anything to do with how they'll do this year.

I'm going to file this quote away for later.

Damnit Sac, EWU! You're supposed to lose to us, but not non-conference games.

[AZGrizFan]

And Pflugrad has yet to show that he can win more than 5 Big Sky games a year

Whats your point?

Much larger pool of evidence to draw from in the Davis/CPSLO argument.

Fine, but it doesn't change the fact that there's a much larger pool of evidence supporting a claim that MSU struggles against Cal Poly than there is supporting any claim that Pflugrad can't win more than 5 games in-conference. ONE YEAR does not a trend make. 4-9 is a trend. And that's your record against Cal Poly.

As much as people want to throw dirt on the Griz grave, ya'll are in for some serious disappointment this year.

Hope you are right AZ...and if the Griz do make the playoffs I don't want to see SUU on the other sidelines.

The way I see it is this: ISU, UNC & PSU are wins. That means Pflu needs to go 3-2 against Weber, EWU, MSU, Sac & NAU and we're in the playoffs with an 8-3 record. Now, given that 3 of those are on the road, that might be a fairly tall order....if we take care of business at home, we need to just win one of the three road games...I'm puttin' my money on a win next week and a win in Sacramento.

Cal Poly Mustangs - 23

Western State Mountaineers - 7
Idaho State Bengals - 42

Northern Arizona Lumberjacks - 45

Eastern Washington Eagles - 42
South Dakota Coyotes - 20

Weber State Wildcats - 17

Northern Colorado Bears - 3
Colorado State Rams - 35

6-2 this week, puts me at 12-5.

At least I nailed the ISU score... off by 2 pts.

[JALMOND]

After the first week, I sit at 7-2, not giving Sac State enough credit and giving Northern Colorado too much. This week, I search for perfection to make the overall mark a bit better. With Portland State having a bye this week (hope we at least make it competitive), I don't think any of my picks would fit the "homer" category, so here they are.

EWU at South Dakota---After their near win at Washington, the Eagles play in their own level, facing a true test in their quest of defending the national champion moniker. Being the hunted as compared to the hunter brings a whole new set of responsibility, but based on the game last week, it is clear the Eagles are up to the challenge...EWU 38, South Dakota 23.

Western State at ISU---Last week, the Bengals stepped up to a higher level, going on the road to Washington State and, even though both may be considered the "doormats" of their respective conferences, the Bengals did give a spirited performance. This week, they return back home to face DII Western State, whom Montana opened up with the last couple years. Should be no problem...ISU 48, Western State 10.

Cal Poly at UM---42 points may seem like a lot of points for the strong Grizzlies defense to give up, but then again it was against the SEC. On a better note, the questionable Grizzlies offense managed a respectable 16 points. This week, a return home and a return to the FCS, and a return to better times...UM 24, Cal Poly 20.

UC-Davis at MSU---What to make of this. Last week, the Bobcats defense held a strong Utah offense down enough to keep the team in the game. This week, there should be no letdown in the defense, but the offense needs to get on track. Against a future conference foe, that may be a bit difficult, but of course not impossible...MSU 31, UC-Davis 17.

Fort Lewis at NAU---Lost in the good things around the conference last week was that the Lumberjacks were having a typical Big Sky/Pac-12 game against Arizona. This week, a return to better times (probably) as they play DII's Fort Lewis in the Skydome. The Lumberjacks still have a few questions that need to be answered, hopefully they can answer them in this game...NAU 31, Fort Lewis 17.

UNC at Colorado State---The Bears struggled mightily against the NAIA's Lindenwood team last week and came out on the short end. Many questions surrounding this team and this week, at the Mountain West's Colorado State, they all may not be answered. Can the Bears get back on track? Not in this game...Colorado State 38, UNC 7.

Sac State at Southern Utah---The Hornets opened up some eyes on the west coast and across the nation with their shocking victory over the Pac-12 Oregon State. Their great season is off to a flying start and they don't intend to slow down for anyone. However, this week brings another upstart, Southern Utah, in to the picture, who also had visions of greatness that took a big hit over the weekend. Can the Hornets keep it going...Sac State 30, Southern Utah 27.

WSU at Utah State---Last week, the Wildcats headed into Wyoming with some questions. Now, with a bunch of those questions answered amid a near victory, they stay in the FBS and head down the road to Utah State, who threw a surprise into Auburn. Indications are that this Wildcat team is going to be good, but indications are that Utah State will be too...Utah State 31, WSU 20.

Home team won each game. Take the visitors and you lose. I took the visitors twice, therefore my record this week is 6-2, 13-4 overall. Geez, I'm terrible. Parity, I know.

[cats2506]

With the last game being 5 years ago, and we do not play CP this year, what the hell does out record have to do with this season? You are using griz logic again

About the same thing as the Griz record last year has anything to do with how they'll do this year.

So you are saying that your don't have any players that were on last years team and a whole different coaching staff.

AZ if you keep making posts like this I'm gonna have to catagorize you with those "other" fizz fans

IF the Eags just would have come through for me this week I would have got em all but alas, 7-1 with the scores pretty close for guesses.

Dude. Seriously? It's another year in the system. It's another year of players actually recruited FOR this system. It's a FULL year of training, recruiting, etc., and not taking over in January. As I've said many times, all the BSC teams are just PRAYING they can throw dirt on the Griz grave, but I'm thinking ya'll might be just a TAD premature. One year does NOT a trend make...if it did, you'd have hung Ash in effigy after years 1, 2 AND 3.

You pretty much fit the standard mold for a cat fan-arrogant, asshole-ish, and an incurable "little brother" syndrome.
