Maybe they’re right. 12 is not a bad spot for us. I wouldn’t rank us ahead of Weber or Montana State until we beat them, so that kind of limits where we place.
I think #12 is a fair ranking for us at this stage.
They generally have a pretty good following of Big Sky fans. Mostly the Montanas and EWU though. Even though most of the commentary on their forum is about the big teams in the Midwest, East and the South, they are a pretty knowledgeable group. We get a lot of respect from NDSU fans too.
We need to win solidly at SD and then against Dixie State. That will set the stage for the game at Weber which will be huge assuming that Weber is still highly ranked by then also. At that point, if we beat Weber in their house, you'll see us jump up the polls.
