Very solid assessment. I’ll quibble with ISU. I think they get 2-3 conference wins.

Viks could end up being the best 2-10 team in the country.
Sac will finish in front of Idalol and the Manure Pile. I say we win the title, but an argument could be made for the Griz. I have a feeling the Kitties will slip a bit this year, but that's not going to stop them from making the playoffs.
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

Montana is obviously winning the conference. Our QB is proven and there are no questions whatsoever.

That could very well be true. I actually thought PSU was about even with EWU on paper, but—for once—it's not Eastern playing the suicidal schedule.
I do think we get 3 wins this year. I think we will "surprise" someone along the way. But, we could be so demoralized by the end of the season that we lose the UNC game.

Montana will not win the BSC they have no proven QB and they lost too much on defense
This could certainly be true, though I'm not sure they lost "too much" on D. Gubner will be nearly impossible to replace, but the defense as a whole should still be pretty good.
The Griz O is very deep everywhere else, so whoever gets the nod at QB should have the advantage of a strong support system.

Montana State could start the season 4-0 with their soft non-conference schedule, congrats!
I have no clue how Eastern Washington’s 2024 season will play out, but this might be Aaron Best’s final season from what I’ve heard. He might need 7+ wins to put “people” at ease, but I’m out of the know. I like Best so hopefully he comes through in 2024, but if he doesn’t his downfall was his inability to recruit top talent. It seems like there was no plan whatsoever after EBIII left.
I think Idaho State wins two of their first four, and two in Big Sky play. 4-8

Just because everyone on here is delusional and I want to join the club ISU 12-0 beats OSU to open the season and goes undefeated to win the conference. In all reality ISU has made major updates to the roster and facilities. I would not be surprised if ISU goes 6-6 maybe 7-5.

I agree. Justice Jackson was our best rb last year but split time and was dinged up. He’s quick and elusive but big enough to handle sone carries.
