We have at least a chance to get three Big Sky teams to the playoffs this year because of an aggressive BSC out of conference schedule which includes 11 FBS opponents and 11 FCS opponents. Every team except Idaho State plays at least one non-conference FCS team.
If there is a three-way tie for the conference championship and we sweep non-conference FCS games, I would say there is a very good chance for three to make the playoffs.
The Big Sky will only get three teams if EWU wins their appeal. I don't think any other possible third wheel is good enough to make it.
If they wouldnt give one whole side of the playoff bracket to the CAA it could happen

The Ncaa must remove that ban, if not, they are some cold hearted bastards. (like everyone says they are).
I think the top 3 will be Eastern, Montana & Weber st. They should put Weber & Montana in the same brackett again, and just let Eastern fight through all the east coast teams. Same odds either way.
Smith was a crutial part of the Weber offense. He was short but strong and i doubt the Weber has a guy better than him on deck. Hopefully they do, bc if not... Montana st is gonna have to fill the 3rd spot.

Well smith isnt out for the season he just is out for the spring, he will be back in the fall at full strength so weber doesnt have to really worry about a replacement for another season.

Not gonna work out trying to explain it to Wildcat Ryan Houndy, it's all been explained ad nauseum and he still wants to stick to what he believes. He seems to think that regionalization is a conspiracy against Weber instead of just regionalization. The history of FCS playoffs seems to elude him as well. Even when there wasn't regionalization there was still regionalization the committee just arranged it by seeding people where they wanted to a lot of times. Some day he will start to concentrate on things that are a little more productive.

Thanks man and I agree on both counts. I like Wildcat but god damn he just won't stop the bitching about the playoff thing, the CAA, so forth and so on. Come on W. Ryan you got some good knowledge on your team/conference so let's hone in on that aspect.
Native are you planning on coming to Missoula this year? Sucks you missed the tailgate last year.

The Missuss and I are planning... er, well, uh... I am sure trying figure out how we will get there, Ursus!
Don't worry, the Missuss will come with me. I am on a short leash, and besides, we gotta get her some Moose Drool.
I remember the advice you gave me last year to "look for the one with the keg on the side," but hell, there must have been 50 Grizz trailers and campers with a keg on the side at the playoff game!

Hey Ryan, my apologies, as I said I like your stuff but you hadn't posted in a while and some of the previous stuff seemed a little bitchy. I missed the wink and that's my fault. You're cool in my book. Again, my mistake.

Please stay, Ryan! There's only two of us left!
Don't worry native Ryan ain't leaving. We all fight like brothers around here but we still keep the respect up in the end.
Ursus, I am a forgiving man, and I forgive you, I know Sarcasm isnt noticed as easily on a blog as it is when someone says it to you.
Native, dont worry, this Forum needs as many Wildcat fans as it can get, I wont leave. THis is too much fun, Im glad that I was able to get to this blog, I have the Cat/Griz Insider to thank for that.
We might hate each other come time for our teams to play, but afterword its just great to talk to other fans about the game.
