That would be a horrible interview for anyone involved with the school/football program. But to come from the president of the university?! Woof….
For the seeding implications and general FTG sentiment I have, I’d be happy to see the griz lose.
For the FSS sentiment I’ve quickly gained and to see this guy eat his words once again, I’d be happy to see the griz roll by 30.
Win/win I suppose?
For seeding implications, you should want the Griz to win until the Brawl. If they lose to Nut Sac State, they likely fall outside of the top 10, with not much chance to climb, playing the dregs of the Big Sky (BBQ, EWWWW, and Portland St). It's better for the Bobcats to end the season with 2 top 8 (or higher) victories.
The griz won’t fall out of the top 10 with their first loss being to a solid team on the road. My guess would be somewhere in the 7,8,9 range.
In the scenario the Cats win cat/griz, the Cats seed won’t be affected much by a griz loss this week. Whether they beat a #4 griz or a #8 griz in week 13 is pretty inconsequential, it’ll still be a top 10 road win for the Cats.
The Cats will come in at 2, 3 or 4 in the seeds if they win out. A lot of variables will affect that, but I don’t think a griz win/loss this weekend is high on that list of variables.
Exactly this.
I'll take your opinion with a MASSIVE grain of salt, since you thought SDSU would stay above the Cats, not only with a loss in the Marker, but with a SECOND FCS loss. Turns out, all it took was an injury to Chase Mason and a curb stomping in the Marker for them to drop below, or be tied with, MSU in every poll....

Yes everyone was predicting Mason would get hurt and the Jacks would lose at home by 30+ points. What a rational take that would have been 3 days ago.

How stupid of me to not see that coming.

We haven't even GOTTEN to my prediction, which was that a SECOND FCS loss by SDSU would knock them below the Cats, and your theory is already showing that it was wrong.

As you can see by my post count (76 in about 4 years), I don't read every thread. I give you props for taking your medicine on the topic. Not sure what your sig has to do with having a spine. A brewer/owner at a brewery I've never heard of (don't get to Helena... ever). It's basically giving me an investigative assignment. Out of curiosity, I accepted said assignment. At best, I have you narrowed down to 1 of 6 people...
Here's my assignment to you, if you're really curious: I am the controller for a large electrical engineering firm that was founded by a Jackrabbit alumnus. Get on it, Dick Tracy!
