DATE………..MSU……………..um
9/25………..@PSU…………….CP
10/2………….UNC……………@EWU
10/9…………..CP……………….Dixie
10/15&16…@WSU………....…SSU
10/23………..ISU………………@UI
10/30…………bye……………..SUU
11/6……….@EWU………….@UNC
11/13…………UI……………..@NAU
11/20………@um……………..MSU

few things to note........

• we both play @EWU & CP at home

• um plays 9 consecutive weeks, starting next week

• um is on the road the 2 weeks prior to the brawl

• I think by Oct 16 the BSC will start to 'shake out'

I concur that how we did vs the Cowboys and how um did vs the Huskies won't have much to do with how the Brawl turns out, because both teams made a great showing and the first game of any teams season isn't very telling.

A little bit off topic but......my biggest ? at this point is.....I'm assuming that since the CATS have proven they can throw the ball efficiently (MSU has the highest passing efficiency in the BSC) will teams now stop loading the box, AND, when they do can we run the ball for 300 yards if needed? Time will tell. GO CATS!

Yep, I think that will happen... Teams will have to be honest.

What if...

Davis loses to Weber but wins out otherwise (10-1, FBS win),
Weber loses to Cats but wins out otherwise (9-2, JMU win),
MSU loses to EWU but wins out otherwise (9-2, Brawl win),
dUMb loses to Cats but wins out otherwise (10-1, P5 win, but another end of year humiliation)

...who get's the auto bid with a 4-way tie at 7-1?
...who gets a first round bye?
...does EWU get in as a 5th team at 8-3 (5-3) with an FBS and MV win?

The tie breaker in this scenario is head to head vs teams involved in the tie. MSU would be 2-0 (dont play Davis), griz 0-1(they dont play Weber or Davis), Weber 1-1 (dont play UM). Cats win the tie breakers and the auto bid.

Come November, week 1 means nothing. Come December, November means nothing.

Friendly reminder it has been 2,133 days since the griz have beaten the Cats.

Our 1st team going 50% completions most of today won't keep teams from loading the box.

You have to put that completion percentage into context. It was WINDY.

I truly hope all teams load the box. Cats will score a lot of points.
