New Sagarin Projections

[ZifCat52]

Here are the projected winners of Saturday's in-conference and Bracket Buster games as well as the updated projections of the final conference standings.

Eastern Washington over Idaho State

Sacramento State over Montana State

Boise State over Weber State (An odl Big Sky matchup)

Tulsa over Northern Arizona

Middle Tennessee over Portland State


Projected Final Conference Standings

Montana State 10 / 4
Portland State 10 / 4
Montana 8 / 6
Weber State 7 / 7
Sacramento State 7 / 7
Northern Arizona 6 / 8
Eastern Washington 5 / 9
Idaho State 3 / 11

MSU's loss to NAU was projected, but the loss lowered MSU's Sagarin rating enough, coupled with Sac State's win over the Grizzlies, to make Sac State the projected winner Saturday in Sacramento.

The Weber State win was also a big standings adjuster.

The only 2 teams who can win the conference are PSU and MSU, if the results actually end up this way, MSU would win the tie-breaker, at least that's how I read it. Those of you who are more up on the tie-breaker system could correct that if needed. The Portland State / Eastern Washington swing through Montana is huge for all teams involved, be sure to get out and support the Cats no matter what happens in Sacramento tomorrow.

You're right...if MSU and PSU end up tied w/ 4 losses each, and UM is in 3rd alone, MSU hosts.

I would think that if Weber sneaks in at 4th we also are in good standing under that scenario.
