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 like this bracket.
Me too!
I would LOVE for SFA to come to Bozeman after what they pulled last year, resulting in the Mercyhurst games.

If 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.
Hauck's record against MSU is 7-6. I'd love to see him at 7-8 heading into 2026.

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.

Ah yes! That is great and likely correct! 8)
