I could see a scenario where Cats win out and Griz win out until the brawl, Cats end up with the #2 and Griz #3 or #4.

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
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.

No kidding. If their defense can’t handle being down a couple starters, they’re not all that.

Re: FCS week games week 6
I’m not surprised that the ass hat who publicly posted on this forum that Gillman is not very good at football and is overrated would place an emphasis on yardage and not scoring when it comes to defensive stats. Last I checked, it’s scoring that wins or loses a football games. Griz are giving up 25 per game….not great….but 5th in the conference.iaafan wrote: ↑Sun Oct 05, 2025 2:27 pmNo kidding.

The announcer is a huge Griz fan. Pink shaded glasses make things seem rosier than they really are.

Griz nation “our best corner and LB were out for this game so that’s why our defense was bad”
Bobcats lost their starting Safety and LB in the Oregon game. Defense is still elite. Next man up.

A whole lot of talking going on here today when we all know that the only thing that's going to really matter is what happens at noon on November 22nd. I'll be surprised if MSU and UM aren't both 7-0 going into that game.

Re: FCS week games week 6
With their fragility on defense, I could see the gris having an unexpected slip-up between now and then against a middling team on the road.

I think they've already played their best road opponent and won. So has MSU until Cat/Griz. And I don't see either team losing at home unless MSU wins in Missoula. We will see!

Not unlike the Cats’ fragility on offense. Any team that couldn’t find a way to hang 18 points on Mercyhurst, at home, is as much at risk of having a slip-up.

We’ve had a fragility on offense once. You’re fragile on defense every game. You’ve played a weak schedule and you’re 5th in scoring defense, 7th in total defense, tied for eighth in run defense, ninth in pass defense.OldGriz wrote: ↑Sun Oct 05, 2025 5:50 pmNot unlike the Cats’ fragility on offense.

Meanwhile, our offense is fourth in scoring, fourth in total offense, second in rushing offense, third in passing. We lead every defensive category. All that despite playing the #2 teams in FBS and FCS.
You didn’t play any FCS team. I’m sure if we removed CWU and Oregon we’d lead you in every offensive and defensive category except maybe one.

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.
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.

Re: FCS week games week 6
Some of this conversation seems a little ridiculous. Who would have won on a hypothetical week is a little crazy to me. That’ll all be decided later on in the year. If we really are more deserving of better seed, we’ll prove it in November.

Re: FCS week games week 6
Yep, wouldn't surprise me at all for them to pull an upset. Night game on the road at Sac. CP is no slouch this season, either. They have a QB who can sling it, which is obviously an Achilles heel for gris D...
