Was going to say, from a balance perspective, he's got the best balance as a ball carrier I've seen since Marshawn Lynch at Cal.

Is the committee member comparing the current state of Stanford football (very low) to the current state of Oregon State football (peaking)?

Sucks not getting the playoff chance, but it was a very competitive season across the Nation - and Davis was inconsistent of course early in the season, and had a hiccup losing #3 in the middle of the season, which eventually cost the Aggies two big games against EWU and NAU...but, I for one am stoked that Davis beat Sac - not only beat them, but beat them soundly. Conspiracy theorists may say Sac sat this QB or that QB, and didn't play starters as much and it wasn't a full effort - baloney, unless Sac is operating under very specific inside information that they were in as long as they didn't get blown out, I think Sac came to play and just got beat. You know, you take away that win at Stanford, Sac's resume is not that good...some competitive games @ Idaho and vs. Montana State, both losses, barely beating Northern Colorado, getting crushed by Montana, letting Cal Poly hang - then getting whooped by Davis, it makes you wonder what the committee saw that was so impressive with the Hornets - especially in losing a head-to-head with the Aggies.

Larison 175 total yards from scrimmage and 4 TDs vs. Sacramento State, Munoz finished 21/27 for 329 passing yards with 4 TDs and ran for a Touchdown as well @ Cal Poly.

I think it's simply a case of Larison winning it last week, and they want new blood to win it this week. You ask me the more impactful performance against a much stronger opponent...it's Larison's performance, hands down.

All I know is, the Coaching Staff has to prepare every off-season for possible outcomes -- losing top talent and seniors will happen any year. They need to reload, if it's with recruited talent great, but no doubt they'll need to pick up the phone (and answer the phone), should Mikey Football wants to leave UCLA as the No. 6 LB and be a star in Davis playing a very high quality of football in the ultra-competitive Big Sky Conference.

OL will be even better next season IMO. Lot of experience, getting better.

I think the new rule for Davis should be, win 8 to get in.

When Larison went down earlier in the season the offense completely stalled...the second half of the EWU game, the NAU game, the Poly game -- the committee had to notice how anemic the offense was without #3. Hastings showed he's not a game winner, so many turnovers, and turnovers returned for TDs as well. It was turnovers vs. Montana that essetentially lost the game. Absolutely terrible offensive effort in Flagstaff in terms of protectiing the football.

Sounds like Western Carolina was another screw-job, and that Chattanooga shouldn't have been in.

Thet loss to NAU killed us. Played Montana tough, when they were at their worst, horrible time to not finally beat EWU...who has proven to be very mediocre to bad this season. Didn't blow Cal Poly out...

If it holds, looks like Davis will play in the 2nd Rd. Montana branch.

nevemind, Jesus

The opening round games look very competitive so far.

Consensus seems to be that this second bracket will be stacked...ie, the potential bracket Davis is in.

FBS, but damn, New Mexico State is a program on fire:

They also beat Montana State to open the season.
