The 7 DI win "rule" was eliminated several years ago. Also, the MVFC got a couple 6-5 teams in over the past decade.

Didn't know that. Think there is a chance the BSC gets more than their top 5 in?

Only if PSU wins out, which is still unlikely.

Also… if PSU wins out, then EWU has to beat Davis or they probably won't get in.

Interesting matchup, EWU and Davis. Seems like the committee always takes one less Big Sky team than we think they should. The loser of that game could be in trouble if they also lose their rivalry game. If Davis were to lose to EWU and then also lose to Sac State, they really do not have a signature win. Their best win would be Weber, and Weber is not going. If EWU were to lose that game, then lose to PSU, they would have four losses, including in their last three games. It is quite possible that the committee would only take four and as a conference, we would be screwed again.

Davis has 8 wins with an FBS win. They're in already.
