Should be a battel between the top 4 teams.
My pick is UCD and NDSU in a tie for first, Cal-Poly and SDSU tie for third.

I think that this year will be no different than the last three. It will be a dog fight with any of the top four teams having a shot at the championship. SUU will much improved this year and could play the role of spoiler if a team looks past them.

I am glad that Cal Poly gets NDSU at home this year.

A home win over NDSU is a must....should be packed out to 11,750 for that one!! Got to get a win on the road at Davis...plan on making the trek up to the new stadium for that one! Hopefully can down a couple of barley pops with slostang! :mrgreen:

Go Poly! Beat UC Davis!

I can only hope our DB's can cover and our DE's and LB's can pressure him!! You're absolutely right...'dog fight' it will be! You slaughtered us last year! Hopefully we can turn it around this year!

Cal Poly did a great job of holding both Steve Walker and Kyle Steffes in 2005 at Mustang Stadium. I think that the Bison only managed 6 points in that game compared to 37 for the Mustangs. Noble ran for 161 yards in that game. I am not saying that Cal Poly will win the game over NDSU in 2007, but I do not think the Bison will have it as easy as they did last year. I think that it will be a great game. One that may decide the GWFC championship.

I think that replacing Steffes will be very tough. It will take a couple of games to see how that hole has been filled.

My Parents and In-laws want to to a vacation type trip to the SLO game this year, so we may make it over. It is the only game in the West for NDSU this year. We are also trying to line up a trip to the Minnesota game, so who knows how it will all shake out. I have to integrate all that with my hunting seasons, so it gets to be an interesting coordination issue!!

But.....Poly is on the WYO radar scope!

I hope you can make it. We will have to have a couple of cold ones before the game and talk some football.

Despite some resentment from Bison fans about MSU buying out the game, NDSU is my favorite GWFC team and I hope they romp this year like they did last year. ;)

I would have loved to go to Fargo. :(

I think the Bison will get one more title before they jump from the frying pan into the fire.

That is a game that NDSU will not forget. It was the biggest defeat NDSU has taken for a long time. Since that game NDSU has gotten much better on the road. Either way this will be a great game.
Bring on the competition!

Anyone know if the Cal Poly/NDSU game will be on TV? Last year's UC Davis/NDSU game was.
Bring on the competition!
