IF NDSU goes down...and I'm not convinced they do...Big Sky....

SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

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.grizzaholic wrote:Tought to keep the CAA out of the discussion.SuperHornet wrote:IF NDSU goes down...and I'm not convinced they do...Big Sky....

Re: Next NC comes from which conference?
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.

Re: Next NC comes from which conference?
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.

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.

1. MVFC preseason favorite
2. Big Sky/Southland/Southern
5. CAA
Could easily change once the games begin.

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.

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.Grizalltheway wrote:This. I really can't think of another instance in which another FCS team pulled that one off.Get'em_Griz wrote:

Re: Next NC comes from which conference?
Right, because a game between two teams that didnt even make the playoffs last year is way huge.

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.
