Not sure the Brawl didn't sweep all 3 categories in the Big Sky this week. UNC has been bad and inconsistent all season.
Losing to this Eastern team by 24 is still a helluva lot worse than losing to MSU by 34. Portland State's loss to awful Cal Poly was worse than UM's, too.

Relegate Presbyterian?
They're already in the Pioneer League. That's about as relegated as you can get.
True, but I meant relegate them back to D-II. They're not the only ones I want to relegate back to D-II...and there are some I'd like to relegate back to FCS (like UMASS, UCONN, and a few others).
