Well I'd say we got the toughest draw, no one else plays the other 3 top tier contenders (EWU, MSU, UM, Weber), and we got two of those on the road to boot.

Here are my hypothetical results for this hypothetical season.

2/27 - @ UCD W Even if we can't practice because of weather I still think we'll be more ready than any team from CA.
3/6 - @ Weber L Early season on the road against maybe the best team in the conference.
3/13 - UNC W Meh
3/27 - @ UM L Toss up. Choate has outcoached Hack with only one of prep 2x. What will he do with two weeks? I give Missoula the edge because they are at home and they're still burning over the last four years (especially the last two).
4/3 - EWU W Close win against a rising team that continues to build as the season progresses.
4/10 - ISU W Strong win to make a case for one of the limited playoff spots.

Hard to say if 4-2 would be enough to make the playoffs. If we lose Cat-griz we would finish 3rd in the conference.

I still think there's a chance we finish 0-0 just like everyone else.

All the excitement over nothing. It's not gonna happen. When will you all see it. It may start, it won't finish. Ncaa is so two faced. They could give a rats ass about player safety. Won't bobcat stadium look good with 2000 , if that, in there? What an embarrassment to watch games in 100,000 seat stadiums with crowds that bozeman high could beat

I think we take the game in Missoula. Limited fans. And Choate will roll out all the options for that game. He knows how important it is.

I think you're likely correct that we'll win based on our coaching advantage and that they just don't match up with us well. I was mostly just trying to stay conservative because last year's beatdown was an outlier in the series.
Because it's so hard to know at this point what Choate's plan for the bastardized season will be, I don't see us going 100% as of now. Which would mean probably finishing 4-2 overall and the only other realistic loss is the following week against EWU. We could definitely go 6-0 but not at the expense of the following fall season.

What does this mean for Cat/griz in the fall? Would it be back in Bozeman I assume?
