Re: Looking ahead to playoff seeding
Seeding looks great, but having to potentially face YSU as the first game and their QB would be a huge challenge. He's likely going to win the Payton this year. It would be a bit of poetic justice to beat SFA in Bozeman after they backed out of the home and home though.

I would LOVE for SFA to come to Bozeman after what they pulled last year, resulting in the Mercyhurst games.

Hauck's record against MSU is 7-6. I'd love to see him at 7-8 heading into 2026.coloradocat wrote: ↑Wed Nov 19, 2025 9:35 amIf we win the griz will be the 3 seed so they can come to Bozeman for a revenge game.
If the griz win we'll be the 4 seed so that we go to Fargo rather than play in Missoula 2x in one month. We should be the 3 seed but I think the committee will use a 2nd loss as an excuse to avoid a rematch before Nashville.

Sure, SDSU has had multiple injuries, but they still lost to Indiana State AT HOME. ISU is 3-8, 1-6 and #68 according to Massey. That is a bad, bad loss.

7-8 is speculating that Cats play and beat the gris in the playoffs. Likely the semi-final in Bozeman.ilovethecats wrote: ↑Thu Nov 20, 2025 5:38 pmWouldn't it be 7-7?Cledus wrote: ↑Thu Nov 20, 2025 12:10 pmWhoopsies, I meant 7-8.tetoncat wrote: ↑Thu Nov 20, 2025 11:58 amHow will there be 3 games?Cledus wrote: ↑Thu Nov 20, 2025 11:43 amHauck's record against MSU is 7-6.
