Sports (the standings at NCAA.com are one week behind for some reason, and the main standings page at Yahoo! Sports hasn't been updated all year). I'm fairly certain that you guys will agree with MOST of my predictions, but there are two games that I'm sure will incite debate: the Causeway Classic and the Brawl of the Wild. I'll place them in order of predicted finish, with the caveat that there are about three pairs of teams in the back half that I can't separate because I don't know the BSC tie-breakers past H2H. Also, you can easily see that I'm homering the Causeway Classic. I've asterisked my playoff predictions, but not placed them in any bracket, much less given seeds, because I don't think the seeds will go by my BSC order of finish, even if it actually pans out. So, here goes:

*1. Sac: PSU W, @ UC Davis W (9-2, 8-0)
*2. MSU: Idaho W, @ Montana L (9-2, 7-1)
*3. EWU: @ UCD W, @ PSU W (9-2, 6-2)
*4. Montana: @ NAU W, MSU W (9-2, 6-2) (EWU has H2H with Montana.)
*5. UC Davis: EWU L, Sac L (8-3, 5-3)
6. Weber State: @ SUU W, UNC W (6-5, 5-3) (Got hot too late, having blown it in the middle.)
7. NAU: Montana L, @ Cal Poly W (5-6, 4-4)
8. Portland State: @ Sac L, EWU L (5-6, 4-4) (I don't know how this tie will be broken; there is NO H2H.)
9. Idaho: @ MSU L, @ ID State W (4-7, 3-5)
10. UNC: BYE, @ Weber State L (3-9, 2-6)
11. ID State: @ Cal Poly W, Idaho L (2-9, 2-6) (See NAU-PSU.)
12. Cal Poly: ID State L, NAU L (1-10, 0-8)
13. SUU: Weber State L, BYE (1-10, 0-8) (See NAU-PSU.)

And UNI by virtue of their beatdown of Sac is the de facto Big Sky Champion! UNI wins something in 2021.

*1. UC Davis: EWU L, Sac W (9-2, 6-2) (Gets autobid because they beat Sac and didn't play any of the other 6-2 teams)
*2. Montana: @ NAU W, MSU W (9-2, 6-2) (1-1 vs. other 6-2 teams)

4. Portland State: @ Sac W, EWU W (7-4, 6-2) (1-1 vs. other 6-2 teams, lost to MSU, no playoffs due to D2 win, despite beating 2 playoff teams)
*5. Sac: PSU L, @ UC Davis L (7-4, 6-2) (1-2 vs. other 6-2 teams, lost 2 in a row, gave them a bid, but that depends on other FCS teams)
6. Weber State: @ SUU W, UNC W (6-5, 5-3)
*7. EWU: @ UCD W, @ PSU L (8-3, 5-3) (7th in the conference and still make the playoffs )
8. NAU: Montana L, @ Cal Poly W (5-6, 4-4)
9. Idaho: @ MSU W, @ ID State W (5-6, 4-4)
10. UNC: BYE, @ Weber State L (3-9, 2-6)
