It's interesting the write up talks about the Massey ratings -- while the Hornets are currently unranked in the FCS Coaches Poll, but have 13 votes in consideration of being ranked Top 25.

The strength of schedule / opponent is atrocious for the Hornets - nothing you can do about that, but Davis has played a tougher schedule with Mercer, Washington, Southern Utah, Northern Arizona, Montana State and Sac on their schedule. One could argue Davis has won 3 of those games, but only 2 count.

Momentum has to be on Sac's side right now, just in terms of game results - Davis has dropped 2 of their last 3.

Great Preview fellas, Flush is a great guy

Won't make much difference here pretty soon - when we're in the same conference.

Need to get back to scheduling a Nevada, SJSU maybe Cal every year. While I love the road trip to Dallas next season, UCLA the season after, it's a better trip for the local fanbase to just go play Nevada.

Let's goooo!

I almost feel like with Pinnick's elite ability to extend the play, Plough gets greedy on pass pro, and just sends another receive out off of chip blocks. I don't think we get away with that this week. Want Pinnick protected, period, let the receivers work.

I think there's a bias, and I think that's only natural given the FCS Landscape:



Also, I'm making the note, but there isn't a single FCS team in the States of Wyoming, New Mexico, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Michigan or Wisconsin?

Seems the only logical explanation why the call wasn't overturned.

If that play happened in Davis for Davis, I'd call that proper camera management at home.

Yeah, maybe, but we also had a RFr. QB in his first collegiate start ever.

Keys to this game are going to be Emotion and QB play...which in turn stems from OL/DL play.

You know, bang-bang plays, people make mistakes - however, when you dissect it under scrutiny in slow motion, I mean come on, makes you look incompetent or otherwise compromised... Sac must've given them the worst view of that play known to football. No normal human being doesn't overturn that call on the field. You know what, credit the receiver for finishing the play - you never know what can happen.

Damage is already done.

What is sexy is how well Davis played in that game and how good Mercer is currently looking - while it doesn't count, it's still a solid showing on national tv.

I am in complete agreement with these observations.

We are always battling Midwest and East Coast bias...and maybe Montana bias as well -- Aggies are the biggest wrench to the Montana machine in the Big Sky right now, and we have plans to move to FBS while these schools look to continue dominating the FCS, I imagine that isn't looked at favorably by the Committee. The two picks in the 2nd half performance were not worthy of a Top 12 team, Pinnick has to be sharper and more consistency is needed. Honestly, I think the Committee pushed Davis down because they see them beating Sac, and it gives a chance for other mid-tier teams to get better positioned going into the final week.

Plough will have the guys firing on all cylinders this Saturday - question is if this team, which has shown some discipline issues at times, will keep their composure when Marion and his Hornets start jawing at them.
