The one issue with the poll is that our game should really be omitted as everyone is going to say yes to the Ags game.

Bias is what bias is. I'm interested in what Tarleton can do to the Coyotes. I think Davis matches up well with Illinois State - we've got the goods to take it to them, but in the playoffs, everybody is either on their A game or accident prone. Who has the poise?

Also, having watched what Lehigh did to Richmond, I'd say Idaho has their hands full.

So are we rooting for the griz to knock off SD state? That would give us a second homegame.

Alum, I think we play the winner of South Dakota and Tarleton State. So if the Texans can go into Vermillion and upset the Yotes, and we manage to take care of Illinois State...then TSU would come to Davis.

FIRST THINGS FIRST, and it won't be easy

Yeah, i got my matches screwed up.

Thank the Gods for that...don't even want to think about having to travel to Brookings in December...I have no envy for anybody having to travel and play the Jacks this time of year.

It would be great if Montana upset South Dakota State but, like everyone is saying, we take care of business against Illinois State first.

I don't want to overlook this round nor a potential quarterfinal, but I believe the Dakota States are on the other side of the bracket. You would need a SD loss to host a second game and Montana State loss to host a third (I think MSU wins it all).

I don't think they change the bracket though the highest seed hosts, right?

Montana is playing South Dakota State, not South Dakota.

Yeah, that mix up on the matches was on me.

Lehigh plays good fundamental football and tackles very well. However, I don’t think they have the horses and depth to stay with Idaho the whole game.

Whoops...

Idaho will take care of Lehigh, handily
