Big Sky Pre-Season Poll
I don't agree with this for a minute....

Re: Big Sky Pre-Season Poll
Agreed - no way NAU and UC-D should be behind Sac State!

Re: Big Sky Pre-Season Poll
Looks about right. The trick is predicting which bottom 6 team will surprise and finish in the top 3? NAU? PSU? ISU looked solid after the blow out loss to Weber at the start of the season.

Re: Big Sky Pre-Season Poll
I'll take PSU over NAU any day of the week, though I don't think they'll be Top 3. NAU is notorious for their mid-season swoons....

Re: Big Sky Pre-Season Poll
Turns out that the top half of the coaches poll looked like this:
1. Weber State (7)
2. Montana (2)
3. Eastern Washington (2)
4. Montana State (1)
5. Sacramento State (1)
The top half of the media poll:
1. Weber State (14)
2. Montana (4)
3. Eastern Washington (3)
4. Montana State (3)
5. Sacramento State
Stupid media types....

Preseason Predictions
- 1. Eastern Washington____8-0____11-0_____ They get Weber & the Montanas at home as well as a crappy FBS opponent—what's not to like?
2. Weber State____________7-1_____9-2_____ Weber's games are always ugly, but they almost always win them
3. Montana _______________7-1_____9-2_____ The Griz are solid all around, but they seem to lack enough star power to compete for a national title
4. Sacramento State ______6-2_____8-3_____ Sac doesn't have a 46-year old QB anymore, but they do have a favorable schedule
5. UC Davis ______________5-3_____7-4_____ Can Hunter Rodrigues help the Aggies rebound from a disappointing 2019?
6. Montana State__________5-3_____7-4_____ Hiring the OC from a team that routinely ranks at-or-near the bottom of the MWC in offense is…
7. Northern Arizona ______4-4_____4-7_____ NAU's defense has to massively improve for Chris Ball to even reach a quarter of Jerome Souers's tenure
8. Idaho State ____________3-5_____4-7_____ ISU gave Rob Phenicie a contract extension in January
9. Idaho___________________3-5_____4-7_____ Just 2 more years until Paul Petrino is free…
10.Southern Utah _________2-6_____3-8_____ The odd-numbered-year magic for the T-Birds appears to be long gone
11.Portland State__________1-7_____2-9_____ Bruce Barnum is 12-34 since his surprising first season
12.Cal Poly _______________1-7_____1-10____ Transitioning a team away from the triple option is a grueling process, I imagine
13.Northern Colorado_____0-8_____1-10____ McCaffrey hasn't even coached a game yet, and there already seems to be a lot of disarray behind the scenes

Re: Big Sky Pre-Season Poll
Venus: Ouch!
While I still stand by my undefeated prediction for Sac, this seems like a much better deal than the other polls I've seen so far. I don't expect the Manure Pile to be that high, though, and I expect PSU to be a bit higher (higher than NAU, Idalol and the Bungles, at any rate). But other than that, Venus makes more sense than those other polls. Regardless of who's right, though, I think that a lot will hinge on what affect the spring season will have on BSC schools: injuries/COVID vs. the extra practice and real-game situations vs. rest and focus on "normal" spring ball installations. Sac stands to look like geniuses if the latter happens; some of the others like BBQ went the other way. The Griz tried to split the difference, and it'll be intriguing to see if PSU and a "play-down scrimmage" or two will benefit them....

Possible, as I have JMU at 10-1 (no I-A game). Most likely loss, either @ Weber or @ UD (on a 2nd straight road game)..
..peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard..
JMU Football: 2022 & 2023 Sun Belt East Champions...But you have to go home now. We have to have peace…
..I know how you feel, but go home, and go home in peace.

no, not backpedaling. Just that you were soooo confident...I was trying to give your Suck State guys a little more credit. Won't happen again.

AZ, the bet is finalized. SD has the over on Sac finishing better than 4-7. You've bet your yacht and SD has bet a case of Modelo.
