Montana St -7.5
South Dakota St -2.5

Another one of those games where I think the home field advantage decided the winner.

Good, I'm glad to see the Ivys even if they take a spot or two.

Could you imagine Davis hosting Harvard or Yale? Although it would probably be a Thanksgiving game with low attendance. But very cool..

Cal Poly hosted Yale in 2013

On the other hand can you imagine traveling to Harvard, Dartmouth or Cornell in late November or early December?

(‘Course we’ll be in the MWC, Pac X or maybe the SEC by then…)

San Diego hosted Harvard a couple times in the 2010’s. Princeton was out here in 2023. Also have had Brown and Yale out but that’s been awhile .

Brown was at SLO in 2018


It’s tricky getting them out here. They open later than most FCS schools so their opener would be our 3rd game.

It would be nice to have a home-and-home series with Cornell, since they both compete in the FCS and have top Vet Med programs. Plus, I have family and friends that went there so I can talk football with them

We can fill out the schedule fill more challenging opponents, without the cost of an East Coast trip

SDstate-NDstate, 14-14 at half. These dudes are all very physical.

NDSU to the 'ship.....

Watching MSU....Brock Oswwhatever (color guy) is a little annoying. He has to say "at the FCS level" after everything he says

Kind of hoping MSU rolls here, though I'd prefer a close game for entertainment purposes. Would make me feel a bit better about last week in that we didn't miss a good shot at making the title game (like when we lost the EWU game in 2018 and missed out on a home game in the semis).

Great game in Fargo. Congrats Bison

Montana State takes it over Yotes 31-17. So Cats and Bison going to the final.

While no such thing as a moral victory, we were the Cats’ only one-score win.

So, every higher seed won every game after the first round?

Pretty good job of seeding the by the Selection Committee!

I still think the Ags beat South Dakota on home or neutral field. That said, it's not how the playoffs work.

I think Montana State wins by 10.

I'm really looking forward to the final. Hopefully it's a good one.

After watching both games yesterday, I think MSU wins it. Better the Big Sky than one of the Dakotas I guess.

I’m going for MSU. Time to see someone new win.

FCS championship game on a Monday night.

I'm assuming the thought process is to have it on it's own day, though even that they screwed up a bit. Last year it was on the final Sunday of the NFL season which was incredibly dumb. They probably should just do it on Saturday morning. There will be NFL games but not until 1:30 Pacific Time. Why not play it at 10 a.m. or 11 a.m. PT? There's a bowl game that morning at 8 a.m. but I doubt many people would say "you know what, I really want to watch NDST vs MSU but Buffalo-Liberty in the Bahamas Bowl is on so I'm going to stick with that". There won't be any NFL games or Bowl games on Mon, Jan 6 so I assume that's why they picked it. But Saturday morning seems like a much better idea.

NDSU controlling the game on first quarter 14-0. Only 1 possession for Montana State in first quarter (will get ball with a minute or so left in 1st quarter.

Great audible for Miller when MSU only had 4 in the box (no nose guard up middle) and no backers up the middle. Miller went 60 yards or so for TD. Bad scheme by MSU. Total bust.

152-49 Bison - Cats, yards first quarter.

Line of scrimmage wins games. Glad to see the Ags getting some linemen recruited.

32’ in Frisco. I thought it would be warmer.
