Looking at it now, absolutely, with Weber, Utah Tech and Southern Utah all falling on hard seasons - the strength of schedule in conference is also dipping. it's a backloaded schedule for sure - designed to get the Mercer win and beat everybody, including Idaho State, now it's just wtf mode. Gotta win two.
Oh, no seed, not without complete craziness in the Top 16. Sac could earn a Top 16 spot if they win out...and they are running the ball well right now, though Eastern has been inconsistent on defense.
I think they'll blow out Portland State in Hillsboro
Solid matchup vs. Idaho, if Sac manages to win that by 2 or more scores...it's a good thing.
Sac has to beat Davis regardless to get in, my two cents.
I will say the kickoff team can improve if we can consistently bang out touchbacks...we obviously can't do that. For what it's worth, we all don't like Hauck all that much, but his teams are gangbusters on Special Teams - as a point of emphasis. A Head Coach has to set up all 3 phases for success.
