How Many Would Montana Win in the CAA in 2010

Post by jstclmet »

The new era in Montana begins. Can they go undefeated in the Big Sky???

If they were playing in the CAA, would they make the playoffs???

How many do you think Montana would win in 2010 if they played in the CAA??

Reasoned judgements, please.

We are talking the CAA here. Montana couldn't win one game. The CAA is so damn tough that Montana would be lucky to keep any team under 64 and would have to luck out big time to score more than a field goal...

I say 0.

There are a few things that need to be clarified first...

CAA North or CAA South?

How many home games will they have? i.e., 6 or 7 home games?

Will they play a FBS game OOC or will they stick with a DII? FBS means they will absolutely WORN out and beat down by their first conference game and will thusly lose every single conference game. DII means they will not gain ANY real game experience and will thusly lose every single conference game

Will they still get a chance to play a Big Sky team as an OOC? i.e., automatic win and chance to rest their top 3 strings

Bandl....CA-fucking-A!!! We talkin' about the CAA. I mean come on. CAA! The CAA. CAA is too good. The CAA doesn't need practice...they be the best. CAA!


Griz stand ZERO chance. UNI might have a slim chance, but that is just because they are from Iowa.

With any bit of luck the Griz would go undefeated! One of the good teams (JMU, Villanova, Richmond or W&M) would be left off the schedule entirely. Two or three of the good teams would have to travel to Wa-Griz so that would leave potentially only one tough away game. If that game was played late in the season when it's cold or the same day as the host has a bball game (i.e. no home crowd) then, voila!, undefeated once again! :kisswink:

Frankly, I don't get the love affair with Michael Herrick. He's very good, mind you, but he's statistically inferior to more than one returning QB, including Montana's Andrew Selle:

Code: Select all

                 Selle         Herrick
Touchdowns          28              22
Interceptions        6               8
Yards/Attempt     8.55            8.25
TD %              7.87            5.41
Interception %    1.69            1.97
The only areas in which Herrick beat Selle last year were completion percentage (66.34 to 62.92) and total passing yards (3356 to 3043), and he only had more passing yards because he threw 51 more passes than Selle.

Selle suffered in some people's minds last year because he was a rotating starter for several games with Justin Roper and because he played in a balanced run-pass offense. Neither of those things will be true this year, with Selle already named the starter and Montana going to a more passing-dominated offense.

Not to mention that Selle led his team to both a hard-fought, OT win over NAU -- and a trip to the national championship game.

Selle from Montana played in 3 more games than Herrick from NAU and yet, Herrick threw for more yards, had a better pass completion percentage, played two BCS teams, and had better stats when they went head-to-head. How does the #2 team in FCS give up over 400 yards passing? The stats that you mention are basically irrelevant.

Seriously doubt it - no offense to ASU, but Montana beat NAU in OT, NAU was what, 20+ points back of both FBS schools, and they could have put more on the board.
