UNDColorado Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Thursday 8/29 Southern Utah @ S. Alabama Valparaiso @ North Dakota Monmouth @ Montana State Sac State @ San Jose State E. Oregon @ Portland St Friday 8/30 NAU @ Arizona Saturday 8/31 UC Davis @ South Dakota Langston @ Northern Colorado Eastern Washington @ Oregon State San Diego at Cal Poly SFA @ Weber State App St @ Montana - This game was my toughest decision. Looking forward to watching it. I am also going to try to watch the NAU vs. AZ game, that one could be close. Quote
Wilbur Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 I think the upset could happen with EWU vs. Oregon State. That should be a good football game. 1 Quote
UNDBIZ Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Does anybody know anything about South Alabama? I see they're a relatively new team but they're also FBS..... just curious what pushed some of you to pick Southern Utah (who lost their NFL qb). Quote

UNDBIZ Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 They are FBS?? I didn't know that. Oh well. Based on what I've been able to find so far, they started their team in 2009 and just completed transition into FBS. They play in the Sun Belt Conference and got slaughtered by Cal Poly in 2011. I see they lost their last game last year to Hawaii (3-9) by 2 touchdowns. So I guess I can see why people are picking against them. Anyways, I'm going with Thursday 8/29 Southern Utah @ S. Alabama Valparaiso @ North Dakota Monmouth @ Montana State Sac State @ San Jose State E. Oregon @ Portland St Friday 8/30 NAU @ Arizona Saturday 8/31 UC Davis @ South Dakota Langston @ Northern Colorado Eastern Washington @ Oregon State San Diego at Cal Poly SFA @ Weber State App St @ Montana Quote
WeAreNorthDakota Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I picked all the home teams with the exception of SFA over Weber and Davis over South Dakota. Quote

KBH2010 Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 They are FBS?? I didn't know that. Oh well. They are FBS, but only became full FBS members this year. Also, the school only started sponsoring football in 2009 and they were 2-11 last year. Quote

Matt Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Davis losing at South Dakota would be what those in the business refer to as a "bad loss". Quote
UNDColorado Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Davis losing at South Dakota would be what those in the business refer to as a "bad loss". Absolutely, if I remember correctly Davis went to SDSU last year and lost 12-8 to a much better team. Quote
UNDBIZ Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I like UNDBIZ's picks. And I was able to just copy and paste UNDColorado's. Hopefully it all works out. I really want to win the BigSkyChallenge this year after coming close last year . Quote
UND Fan Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 They are FBS, but only became full FBS members this year. Also, the school only started sponsoring football in 2009 and they were 2-11 last year. USA had been debating whether to add FB for many years. The big money people in Mobile agreed to help fund the program - provided the team moved to FBS as soon as possible. Mobile and the surrounding area produce a ton of DI FB players every year. I would guess that USA will be respectable rather soon. They won't get many SEC-calibre players but there is plenty of talent for them to get their share. Quote

I supposed they get the leftovers once Alabama, and Auburn get their pick of the litter. Quote
KBH2010 Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I supposed they get the leftovers once Alabama, and Auburn get their pick of the litter. In that part of the country I would expect the leftovers to still be pretty good. Quote
FSSD Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 I really enjoyed this site for making picks last year they did a good job. http://www.bigskychallenge.com/index.php?utm_source=newslettter2001&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=welcome Quote
homer Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 EWU is up 20-10 on #25 Oregon St. midway through the 2nd quarter. So far their offense has had no problems moving the ball through the air vs. the Beavers. Even with the departure of two quality WRs. Quote
darell1976 Posted September 1, 2013 Author Posted September 1, 2013 8 out of 12...I need to do better. Tied for 163 in the Big Sky Challenge. Quote
