#16 UC Davis

They've been underrated most of the year but Sac at 8 seems about right. There seems to be a clear top-3 with Sam Houston/JMU/NDSt but after that it seems like there's a big bunch of teams grouped together. Just ranking the top-4 Big Sky teams is tough.

Sac went 8-0 but avoided Montana State and EWU. Winning at Montana is impressive. Did lose by 18 at home to UNI.
Montana lost to both EWU (road) and Sac (home) but both were by 7 or less. Beat Washington and beat Montana St by 19.
EWU lost to Weber and Montana St by a combined 4 points, however both were at home. Also beat Montana but that game was home also.
Montana St lost to Wyoming and Montana. Won at EWU and at Weber.

Credit to Sac for going 8-0, but do they go 8-0 if they play all three other 9-2 teams like Montana did? My instinct says EWU is the best team but their toughest conference road game was UCD so who knows. If I was ranking those four, I'd probably go EWU-Sac-Montana-MSU, though I could flip the first two.
