Sdsu at #10 is about right. their resume shows they can beat anyone anywhere. They have also shown they can lose to anyone anywhere. I believe if they get out a hot streak they have a good enough team to win it all. Going off of past experience I would rather play half of the teams in the top 10 before I played them. In all seriousness I would say the same about UND. the only difference is UND has not proven they can beat anybody anywhere because they have not played any of the top teams. That is not a knock just what it is because of their schedule Ysu at 14 might be a little high... I am not sure of their quarterback situation or if they ever get their number one guy back if they do that would make a huge difference. Wiu and isu being 24 and 25...who cares isu is probably a little more dangerous than Western. quite frankly both of these teams are probably better than Lehigh or Wolford. Uni the team you love to hate is a little different animal. They don't deserve to be in the playoffs and probably won't but they always have a tough team. And until the big running quarterback graduates they could literally beat anybody. he's a marginal quarterback at best but possibly the best athlete in the FCS. As far as the big sky goes Eastern is similar to NDSU and as I said before UND is similar to SDSU. The rest of the Big Sky is no different than Western Illinois. Not bad but not great. As for the rest of the fcs playoff field there are probably a couple good teams and the rest are where they're at because of their terrible schedules. And as soon as those teams get locked up with somebody good it shows instantly. Just my opinion . earlier you said that UND = middle of the road valley.....now you're saying that UND/ sdsu are similar. Looks like UND could be co champs in the mvfc as well. Thank you for your clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem the Big Sky has created is the huge conference. It's hard to respect a conference that has such a low bottom. Your argument might be right but anybody looking at it would think those teams have two or three wins because they played the bottom of your conference. Yeah a team might have five or six wins but who did they play? the difference is South Dakota has Four Wins but somehow got them playing teams that also have four five or six wins. not Idaho and uc davis.... you have to admit those three or four teams water down your conference. which may be unfortunate for somebody in the middle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So with an unbalanced schedule if you play the bottom teams and win 5 games you're not good either. Your big game against Northern Arizona A 5 win team with three wins against the bottom part of the schedule is not a good team. if you think uni is overhyped and they might be. Then Northern Arizona being rank is an absolute joke! Their biggest win is over Weber State! If you can't figure that out then there is no hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 On 11/15/2016 at 7:04 PM, Cratter said: The thing with EWU coach is, yeah he went from no playoffs to a pretty good team, but he's been there for nine years. He has big sky championships, a national title, etc. He would basically get rewarded for having a down year last year and returning to EWU "normalcy" this year. While Bubba has taken a UND team that finished 10th in the Big Sky before his arrival to Big Sky Champs and National Championship contenders in only three years. The current EWU coach took over a team that made the FCS quarterfinals. You have the best formula right there, Bubba is ahead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Now that the season is over, here's what we know. UND had one of the toughest, if not the toughest, schedules in the Big Sky Conference. UND played 3 out of the top 4 teams in the conference. EWU, for example, only had to play 1 out of the top 4 in the conference. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
