Matt Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 With the major exception of UND not being in it, I wouldn't mind seeing this scenario. We would find out how good the BSC, and the AC, really is. The AC would have the potential to play a BSC team in every playoff game, including the title. http://www.sportsnet...FCS_Bracket.pdf Quote

Matt Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 It would've been great to have UND where Montana is on those brackets. Well, like Reginald VelJohnson told Bruce Willis in Die Hard, UND is "gonna have to bring the ice cream" to that party. 1 Quote

CMSioux Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Am I seeing 5 teams from the Big Sky listed and only 2 from MV - how can this happen - the southern experts will tell you Big Sky is a "weaker" conference - heads will explode. Quote

fightingsioux4life Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Well, like Reginald VelJohnson told Bruce Willis in Die Hard, UND is "gonna have to bring the ice cream" to that party. Are you obsessed with that movie? Quote
Matt Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 Are you obsessed with that movie? short answer is yes...but unfortunately Mr Takagi disagreed...so he won't be joining us for the rest...of...his life. Sorry for the thread drift. continue. Quote

To be fair, South Dakota State and Montana should probably be switched. At least given what each has shown thus far this season. But I agree the Big Sky is much stronger than Moo U blowhards will admit. Granted I'm still not sure whether there is anybody in the Sky who will be able to take down the Cows in the playoffs. Edit: Illinois State could also have an argument to get in, although probably not over any of the other Big Sky teams currently listed (other than Montana). Quote
CMSioux Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 If Eastern Washington meets su in the playoffs I might have to watch that - not cheer, just watch. Quote
UNDColorado Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 During playoff time, assuming we will not be in, I will become a Big Sky in general fan. The bizun got theirs last year; and for the record I was leaning for them then. Quote

Also, UNI scheduled themselves out of the playoffs. Quote

Risky Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 most bison people are pretty high on the good sky teams, its just that the depth doesn't really seem to be very impressive. Also, UNI scheduled themselves out of the playoffs. Are you implying that Bison fans think the depth of the MVFC is better than the Big Sky. If so what would support that theory? Quote
Matt Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 Are you implying that Bison fans think the depth of the MVFC is better than the Big Sky. If so what would support that theory? Don't bother. Since the BSC declined to invite them, the BSC has been known as the "Big Fluffy". 5 different BSC teams could win the title in the next 5 years and they would still consider the conference top heavy. 1 Quote
JohnboyND7 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Are you implying that Bison fans think the depth of the MVFC is better than the Big Sky. If so what would support that theory? Many point to the wide-open(in some folks opinion, soft) style of play as well as the fact that the 2010 Herd was 7-4(all four losses in the Valley), dominated Montana State(Co-Champ) and gave EWU all they could handle before an interesting series of events in the late 4th quarter/OT. Those two games really hurt the Sky perception to a lot of people that I know. Quote

Those two games really hurt the Sky perception to a lot of people that I know. Basing an opinion about an entire conference on 2 individual football games in a single year shows a real lack of objectivity and a lack of credibility. It is another example of NDSU fans holding a grudge. The attitude isn't based on reality, it is based on the hurt feelings of a group of individuals that can't get over perceived slights their favorite school received almost a decade ago. It is yet another reason to take the opinions of NDSU fans with a grain of salt on many things. 2 Quote
Cratter Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I had no idea the Valley was so top heavy with no depth. Seems Fargo U is the only good team. 1 Quote
jdub27 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 What about what happened to UNI in Montana last year? Or Montana scoring 40 straight on SDSU in the playoffs a few years back... Quote
tjbison Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Are you implying that Bison fans think the depth of the MVFC is better than the Big Sky. If so what would support that theory? What would support it is the MVFC is the #1 ranked conference by both major polls with the MVFC averaging a 130 ranking with 10 team over a 143 average ranking with 13 teams over the Big Sky Quote
tjbison Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Or Montana scoring 40 straight on SDSU in the playoffs a few years back... Or the number 3 team from the Valley in NDSU destroying the BSC champs in 2010? Quote
