When the farthest representation to the FCS west lies in Missoula, is it any wonder why the Big Sky is taken at face value and Montana is so heavily regarded and favored by the committee? Granted, Montana AD's membership is expiring, I hope somebody from Davis/Sac/Eastern/NAU/Idaho/Montana State is on this for 2025.
Davis gave up an easy Sac score near the end if the game to make their game seem closer than it was, so they didn’t help themselves when they knew they were in competition with Sac for that playoff spot.. Three out of four passes complete for 55 yards total and a TD in a situation where the drive started with 3:23 left.
NAU loss was terrible. Later in the season than EWU, 17 pt. loss but never really close, plus Lan played so no excuses. I'd pin it on that if I had to pick one thing.
Oregon not looked well oiled - but Idaho defense doing well. Offense lacking for Idaho 3-1 Oregon, but I am sure Idaho is happy with the score at this point.
Probably been talked about here, but Montana QB McDowell transferred for like the 4th time after going to Frisco last season. Weird. Didn’t even know until I turned them on tonight.
