The Bobcat Nation

I went back and looked at the preseason polls.

The gris (Ha!) and Sac were the most over-ranked. NAU "overperformed."

It’s the curse of the Big Sky Preseason poll. You get picked to win it, 99% of the time you won’t.

Would be cool to see the preseason prediction thread from this board. I know a lot of people whiffed on MSU big time.

It’s not much but ISU’s improvement was huge. Right up until they melted down against Eastern.
