FCS games week 6

[RickRund]

The griz have nothing to be proud of with that win. I mean it's a win but yuck.

Nobody said the Griz are proud. But they are undefeated and ranked higher than the Bobcats.

You can pick your rating service, I will stay with the one I always use. Massey has the CATS higher. Doesn’t make any difference until the season ends.

True, but I'm not sure they should be after today.

The media poll is only just barely more legitimate than a coaches poll. I wouldn't be surprised if the griz move up to 3 this week.

[HookedOnGriz]

Griz will be fine. Having your best LB and cover guy out the first half hurt a lot. Then our all conf shut down corner Loud didn’t make the trip. We had two true freshman DBs playing at the same time the whole game. Get Loud back to take away half the field and all is good again. That scared me a bit though!

[RickRund]

I tend to go to Massey as they hold zero biases. They don’t care about team history. The algorithm just takes the info it is fed and comes a conclusion.

[ilovethecats]

The griz have nothing to be proud of with that win. I mean it's a win but yuck.

That's all they needed. They can keep winning ugly and worst case scenario for them is probably the 5 seed. Someone needs to knock them off but unless Cal Poly can shock the world next week I don't see anyone stepping up and getting the job done. If they can play better and start blowing out the losers on their schedule for the next 6 weeks they could get the 2 seed if they win Cat griz.

I mean, you might be right. They could be a great as you think.

The point some are making as they literally needed a reverse wide receiver pass to the quarterback to come from behind and beat Idaho state. Say that out loud.

People tend to overthink this part of the season.

I don't think they're good but most of the voters, as well as the playoff committee, will see the griz (fresh off a national championship 24 years ago) racking up wins and slot them into the 2 spot if they win out. How do you think they reached #4 already this season? They aren't the 4th best team in the country they just keep winning and don't technically have any bad wins because even today they scored a lot of points. We slipped up letting Mercyhurst play ball control against us. Not blowing the doors off them means the best we can do is probably the 3 seed.

My friend. Don’t over think.

I’m not talking about rankings as they don’t matter. It’s talking points for all of us! We have a lot of season to play and if you’re a good team you’re a good team. I don’t care about the rest.

I understand the committee and seeds and what not. I get all that. Would love to get a 1-2 sec every year. But you still gotta beat teams.

My point is that we’ve heard a lot against us this early in the season. How ****** we are and how amazing griz are. They passed us in the rankings after all……….

It’s a long season and I feel good

Oh I feel great too. I just hate it when the griz win, especially when they clearly aren't better than us.

[HookedOnGriz]

There it is lol

Hold that thought…

On another note, did you just hear the announcer say that he’s never seen an FCS game where one individual player has done more than Michael Wortham has done today?

Well he did do all this:


2-2 passing for 1 TD and 49 yards
7 carries for 2 TDs and 41 yards
6 catches for 124
3 kick returns for 82

296 total yards and 3 TDs

That’s the difference in fan base. Griz fans like it when the Cats win (except for one game in November). Since the Cats became relevant in the past decade, it’s been good for the state and the Big Sky Conference.

[RyeCat]

I’m sure the best FCS performance ever.

I agree with you hooked. You’ll be favored in every game the rest of the way. But you’ve been reading these boards all season so just like we heard how bad we were losing to SDSU at home, and bad running game etc………

You’re gonna hear a little something about Gilliam having negative yards and needing a come from behind, wide receiver reverse pass to starting QB to beat Idaho state….

You guys would have a HAY day if it wax the Cats in pokey this weekend

All valid points. Although Gillman came back very strong and had a big 2nd half. Someone said he may have had the flu. Not sure but he seemed a bit off until he didn’t.

I’d buy that in a second. Looked off but has always reminded me of Ifanse. Won’t say a word about him.

To be clear I think despite tonight’s showing you guys will be fine and like I said favored in every game. We’re just getting to the meat of the season and I’ll maintain it’ll come down to cats and griz in Missoula for the championship. Griz will be favored and Cats will try to end the streak of road teams getting embarrassed.

Winner will be top 4 seed, loser will get a home game and hit the road and let cards fall where they may.

Nobody said the Griz are proud. But they are undefeated and ranked higher than the Bobcats.

True, but I'm not sure they should be after today.

It’s an age-old phenomenon how higher-ranked teams get called upon by fans of lower-ranked teams to apologize for winning ugly. I don’t think any apology is forthcoming.

The griz are 1 spot ahead of the Cats so don't let that higher ranking go to your head too much.
And I never called upon you for an apology, what a strange response.

[Cledus]

Al Bundy had four touchdowns in the ‘66 city championship. Checkmate.

[BelligerentBobcat]

Wortham is a stud. They’re lucky they have him. Their defense gets shockingly little pressure, odd for that system.

Like ILTC said, they should win out until we get to Cat-Griz, and that could go either way. Which is exactly as it should be. Beating a top 3 team at their place would be huge for our resume, so really, them winning out isn’t a bad thing for MSU.

This might be the least true statement I've ever read on a message board. Which is saying something. No griz fan wants the Cats to win. No cat fan wants the Griz to win. I think it's silly how we feel socially required to do the "we're all from montana, i just cheer for the montana team" shtick.
