Tought to keep the CAA out of the discussion.

True dat, but there are amazing teams in the Sky, too. Certain CAA fans would love to shut the conversation down without any Sky involvement. I'd just like to even the discussion.

I see no reason why NDSU doesn't repeat this year.

The SoCon champ could make some noise, but I don't think anybody is strong enough this year to win it.

With App and GSU out, SHSU losing nearly their entire defense, and the CAA still being way down from where they normally are, I think it'll come from either the MVFC or Big Sky.

Elaborating further, if not NDSU, then I think the Big Sky has the most capable teams.

Not so fast my friend.
SHSU Defense will be fine, we have a excellent defensive coordinator, Tanner Brock (MLB transfer from TCU) will be solid and whoever lines up in the defensive backfield will not be a downgrade...Anyone watch our secondary get torched by Baylor, Aggies, SFA, Eastern Washington and Central Ark last season...Fritz says this is his best DL at Sam Houston...That might create an even better pass rush...

Offensively, the Bearkats will be just plain SICK!

I will give it the Bison until the Bearkats can figure it out, but The Big Sky needs to figure out Sam Houston.

We figured you guys out at halftime. Unfortunately, we dug too deep a hole. Payback's gonna be a bitch. :twisted:

1. MVFC preseason favorite
2. Big Sky/Southland/Southern
5. CAA

Could easily change once the games begin.

BS. MSU knows exactly what to do, and they're quite good at it!

Step 1: Win Big Sky Co-Champs
Step 2: Meow ferociously.
Step 3: Piss down legs.
Step 4: Tuck tail until next year.

You must not have heard. The winner of the App St v. Montana game will be crowned supreme champion before getting the trophy handed to them by JBB and Opie. It is going to be an epic weekend.

My memory is fading. Could you remind me how many times and when that scenario actually happened for MSU to have mastered it ?

This. I really can't think of another instance in which another FCS team pulled that one off.

FAU did it in 2003 (their last year in I-AA) - beat MTSU by 1 in Week 1, then lost to Valdosta State by 28 in Week 2. They still made the semifinals, though.

Right, because a game between two teams that didnt even make the playoffs last year is way huge. Im more into the rematch of the 2012 national semi-final in week 3. {sarc off}

Hey Einstein....App State hasn't missed the playoffs since 2004. :dunce:

Oh, and even if Montana and App State came into this game after each going 2-9 last year it would STILL be a bigger game than any game involving SHSU. :nod: :nod: :nod:

AZ, this guy apparently thinks anything posted on the internet is dead serious and no hyper-bole.

I hope he PM's me so I can explain my previous post before he pulls out anymore of his thinning hair.
