    Game of the week?

    That game would get my vote. The #2 NDSU at #9 SDSU is another monster game. Lots of good match ups this week with playoffs implications.

    I feel sorry for Idaho State. Maybe BYU will be worn out by hanging 66 on Virginia. Of course BYU defense was a sieve. ESPN gratuitously gives them a 1% chance of winning. I guess 1% is the low asymptote.

    I don't feel sorry for those damn Aggie beating sons-a-guns. Have fun in Mormontown.

    Pocatello is Mormon-town lite and they will probably get lit up.

    Arizona snaps 20 game losing streak with victory over Cal. To be fair Cal’s lineup has been depleted by COVID protocols.

    Not sure if anyone else saw, but Tulsa ALMOST took down #2 Cinci 20-28. Had the ball on the 1 yard line and couldn't punch in a potential game tying TD (with 2 pt conversion)

    only thing for sure is that Weber is definitely out as possible playoff participant. At this point there are 5 big sky teams fighting for a playoff position (Montana, Montana State, UCD, EWU, and Sac don’t think the playoff committee would take 5 from big sky. UCD - EWU, UCD - Sac, Montana - Montana State are to be played.

    Portland State could be a spoiler in their games with Sac and EWU.

    That would be great if PS knocked off either or both of them!

    One stat that jumps out for me is that we had only had 3 penalties for 34 yards. That's pretty darn good.

    If Im seeing things clearly (and many of you know that's not always the case), four FCS teams media ranked ahead of UC Davis lost today: North Dakota State, Eastern Washington, Southern Illinois and Southeast Louisiana. I wonder if that will vault the Aggies into the #4 rank, not that any of this matters going into the game against the Eagles. EWU has lost two straight including to 4-4 Weber State, I wonder if they've run into injury problems or something?

    Montana State has a good defense. Ilfanse had a great game - I think over 200 yards rushing and with TOP MSU limited plays for EWU. UCD needs to take note of what both Weber and MSU did to hold EWU scoring down.

    Unfortunately our forte has never been, that i can remember, handling a mobile QB. And Barriere is the class act of mobility. But both EW and J street are looking vulnerable.

    It will be interesting to see what the polls will be after today. I don't think we'll jump to # 4 but we could move up one or two spots.

    24-9 J street at half, but poly is just a few plays away from hanging with them.

    Sac is pummeling Poly 41-9 with 6:53 to go and we struggled a lot against Poly...

    My best guess in the STATS poll is that we jump from 8 to either 7 or 6. We won't jump NDST and SDST will almost certainly jump us for beating NDST. I think we'll leap Southern Illinois and SE Louisiana. Eastern Washington is a maybe. If we go ahead of EW, we're 6 and if we don't, we're 7.

    I still think it's going to take an upset for the Big Sky to not get 5. FWIW, this playoff prediction on AGS has the Big Sky easily getting 5.

    https://www.anygivensaturday.com/showthread.php?285441-Week-9-Playoff-Prognostication

    This one has 5 also:

    https://herosports.com/fcs-football-2021-playoff-predictions-9-bzbz/

    I posted in another thread that since the bracket expanded to 24 teams, no 8 win or better team from the Big Sky, CAA or MVFC had ever missed out on the playoffs. UCD and Mont St are already at 8. EW and Sac just have to beat Portland St to be at 8 and Montana just has to beat Idaho. The H2H games between the top-5 don't matter as far as getting to 8 wins unless there's an upset.
