I am not surprised but I will say this, after what we saw last year and now this, the committee has no respect for the Aggies. If either of the Montana's were in a similar position as we were today, they'd be in.

This is what the FCS fans over on the AGS forum think the field will look like according to their final Top 25 poll which has the Ags at #25 and Sac at #16:

Re: AGS Poll Results 2023 Wk12 - SELECTION SUNDAY!
The fully seeded AGS playoff field would look like this:

16 Sac State/17 Youngstown State @ 1 South Dakota State
9 Furman/24 Duquesne @ 8 North Dakota State

13 Southern Illinois/20 Richmond @ 4 Idaho
12 North Dakota/21 Gardner-Webb @ 5 Villanova

14 Mercer/19 Lafayette @ 3 South Dakota
11 Delaware/22 Nicholls @ 6 Albany

15 Chattanooga/18 North Carolina Central @ 2 Montana
10 Austin Peay/ 23 Drake @ Montana State

First 4 out: Incarnate Word, UT Martin, Western Carolina, UC Davis

The Montana AD is on the selection committee. You know he must of had a great amount of influence on screwing us last year but I wondering if he might be working for us this year since he's representing the Big Sky. Our loss to Montana was close and the stats for both team were even. If it wasn't for the TO's, we might have won that game. I hope he takes that into consideration too and tries his best to sway the committee in our favor.

I think Scott Gordon is the best color commentator we've ever had on our broadcast team. His comments after every play make the game so much more interesting and they show just how knowledgeable he is about the game. He's quick to pick up on the action and coaching strategies as they happen. He's our football equivalent of Bob Williams doing the color analysis for the men's basketball games. Both are great!

It's just too close for comfort. I think I'll just brace myself for disappointment but keep my fingers crossed.

College Sports Madness has Sac in and the Aggies as one of the first 4 out.

Idaho 56 Idaho State 0 at the half.

Idaho is slaughtering ISU 56-0 at the half. I don't think this helps the Aggies at all in the eyes of the playoff selection committee since we struggled against ISU. Heaven help us if we do get in and get sent to Idaho. They're explosive!

Northern Arizona 49 EWU 42 - Final

Idaho is already up on ISU 28-0 in the first quarter. Yikes!

It's 28-0 now with 1:42 to go in the first quarter. Yikes!

Official attendance today: 11,622...not bad for blustery, rainy day.

Larison just may be the best RB ever to wear an Aggie uniform.

I just saw our former TE McCallan Casltes, who transferred to Tennessee, had 2 receptions today in the game against #1 Georgia which makes me wonder if Larison will hit the portal after too.

I don't think we'd get picked over Idaho regardless of the outcome today for the Vandals but I do think that a tie for 3rd in the Big Sky looks better than 4th place.

Keep your fingers crossed for Idaho State to beat Idaho today at 4 pm on ESPN+. It's unlikely but, with the explosive passing attack that Cody has implemented at ISU, the Bengals could win and, if they do, we would finish in a tie for 3rd place in the Big Sky and that could help us get into the playoffs.
