Uh, the Griz didn't lose to any bad teams on the road. They lost to Wyoming, NDSU, and a surging CP.
Is Poe hurt? Seems odd that the coaches would stick with him way too long & against all logic, then suddenly send him to the doghouse of no return.
NAU has one lucky win (EWU) and one unlucky loss (N. Colorado). It's gone both ways for them this year.
Not sure what's going on with Poe. NAU coaches and media/athletics department has been traditionally tight lipped regarding personnel issues. The fact that he didn't come in with Cartwright injured last weeks says something. I didn't watch the game vs. Northern Colorado but it certainly didn't sound like he was firing on all cylinders that day.

Montana State (same) ..they've been good enough to be #1. They don't seem to have gotten better or worse as the season has progressed and although they have won close games with lesser competition they have done what it takes to win...that counts.
Cal Poly (much better)....folks will say I'm a homer...I am. Cal Poly is not the team they were at the beginning of the season. If anyone (Poly fan or not) has watched them they know how much better this team is than they were on Sept 1st. The offense is a good as it has been since 2008 and the defense has gotten better every week. If you haven't seem Chris Brown at QB .....you won't understand
ISU (better)........MAny have no respect for this team right now. They have some suspect wins and have yet to beat a real contender but only historical bias allows anyone to say this isnt a top 5 team in the BSC
Montana (same)...like ISU in reverse, getting help from history. Montana is a good team but not a great team. The defense is possibly best in the BSC today but the offense just isn't what it has been historically. (side note: MSU fans who claim that the Bobcats are now statistically better against the run are missing the fact that Montana just played Poly....lets see how MSU does against Poly's run and how statistics look on Nov 2nd.)
EWU (worse)....With VA they are #1 or #2 in the BSC. I have no doubt in my mind. That guy is the engine in that offense. Without him they can lose to anyone in the top 6.
NAU (same)....Yes they beat EWU by a whisper and some incredibly timely and helpful officiating allowed them to sneak past Poly both at home. They lost to UNC and USD on the road. That is what separates the great teams from the good teams...They are just good enough at home but not even good enough to beat the bottom of the BSC on the road
Unfortunately, I'll be seeing him in my nightmares for quite some time.

If "lucky" could be defined as getting 40+ yards and a TD gifted to them by the officials then the Cal Poly win was certainly lucky.

CP, how much longer before Poly starts playing the song "Run It!" by, ummm, Chris Brown at every game?
