Lots of top 25 matchups among the teams above us.
#1 SHSU hosts #21Jacksonville State.
#2 NDSU hosts #18 Missouri State
#5 Villanova hosts #19 Rhode Island
#6 JMU is @ #25 Delaware
#7 SDSU hosts #24 UNI

Even #3 EWU has a tough game vs Weber St

Do to Idaho St what we've done to bad teams all year and we move up next week. There should 1 or 2 upsets on Saturday.
And I'm not confident the Griz can win on the road in Idaho. Their season is probably over with another loss.
After their beat down at EWU, you can bet Idaho will be looking for redemption. A win against the gizz would certainly do it. The little brown jug has a great chance to end up in Moscow! Go Vandals! =D^
It's the Little Brown Stein, not jug. That's Minnesota and Michigan.

Idaho sucks. With that I will mark them to win against the Cruz anyway.
Idaho lost by 7 to UC Davis, won by 7 against Portland St. So they're just a middle of the road team. But that's still a lot better than how the Griz have been playing. They're not a top 25 team now.

Thanks for putting this together! I always want to see what games to keep an eye on next week!

Ditto - I was starting to look these up and remembered you already did, thanks Prodigal! I also glanced at the following weekend games and there are some additional tough ones in there for some teams above us, so for any of the 7 teams above us that don't lose this Saturday, some might on the following Saturday during our bye. As you say, take care of business against ISU and who knows - we could be sitting at #4 heading into Cheney. Win that one and look out, as there are more brawls at the top that weekend and the following when we host Idaho.

A little more info on this weekends slate:

#1 SHSU (-17.5) hosts #21Jacksonville State. JSU's win versus FSU looks as dubious as the griz win at UW. It's really hard to find a loss for Sam Houston leading to the playoffs and this is pretty much it. They play a murders row of Dixie State, Eastern Kentucky, Tarleton, Abilene Christian :roll:

#2 NDSU (-11.5) hosts #18 Missouri State. Bison Defense is legit but they are in the same boat as us. They haven't really played the cream of their conference as of yet but this is a test. MO state averages 33.5 pts per game and Shelley can pass the ball well and is mobile. As Cat fans we are MO state fans as they can knock teams like NDSU and SIU out of the undefeated FCS ranks.

#3 EWU (-9.5) hosts Weber St. I hope Weber can keep it within single digits. Maybe they hold EWU in the 30's. Won't matter because unless their Offense acquired a Derrick Henry this week to replace Josh Davis they will be fortunate to score in the 20's. Fingers crossed i'm wrong [-o<

#4 SIU is on a Bye

#5 Villanova (-13) hosts #19 Rhode Island. Rhody is probably the worst 5-1 team from a 'so-called' power conference. Still they've won 5 games

#6 JMU (-14) is @ #25 Delaware. The Blue Hens started the season picked 2nd to win the CAA. They lost their starting QB a few games ago and lost 2 straight.

#7 SDSU (-10) hosts #24 UNI. UNI seems to do this every year. They lose a game or two and end up in playoff mode in October. They also tend to make the playoffs. They have SDSU, SIU, MO State still on the schedule. I bet they win one or two of those games. SDSU was my #1 though before they lost to SIU

#8 MSU (-23.5) hosts ISU. GO CATS!

#9 SELA (-19.5) at Northwestern State. Its hard to take a team with 2 directions in their name seriously..... much less two of them.

#10 UC Davis (-20.5) at Cal Poly


um is -15.5 at IDAHO

So without a big upset it appears the Cats will stay #8 for another week.

Then when we beat EWU we will move up to 7 and EWU will drop to 4. :-k

I'd put money down right now that at least one team above us loses. Also... great work Prodigal - love the analysis... especially #9 :lol:

Two teams ahead of us in the polls lose today, eastern and South Dakota State. I’m almost certain we move ahead of South Dakota State. Do we move ahead of eastern? I think we should and get as high as six. It’s pretty irrelevant because the winner of the Cats/Eagles game should be in the top five after that game, loser drops to about 10th.

I think we just move up 1 spot to #7. I think EWU's resume is a little better than ours, but a whole lot more flashy, so we don't jump them.

Aside from the whole us beating Weber and them
not. We’ll get shafted but who gives an F!? We’re on the path for a couple championship rings this season!

Polls mean nothing. If for one minute this team pays any attention to our ranking, we will lose. You should never give a crap about the polls until the Sunday morning after the Brawl. Take care of business one week at a time. We have to win out though and you know EWU is going to give us everything they have.

We aren’t the team; we are the fans. We can talk about the pools all day long.


griz fans; keeping it classy and gracious in winning since ... well, never.

If the coach's poll wasn't so worthless, Sac State would be a top 15 team. I watched them whip um and destroy NAU. They lost their first 2 games. One to Cal and one to UNI where Sac had 6 turnovers. They should easily win out until the final week when they play UC Davis. I'm glad Cats don't play them.

We should be 6th and Eastern 7th. Their loss at home is to team we just beat on road, sac should be above Griz. Big Sky teams in order should be Cats, EWU, Sac, Griz, UCD

We will be 7 because Eastern has an FBS win.

Will probably, be seventh but first game of season against team that hasn't won a game FBS win should not trump what happened the last two weeks
