Welcome to our forum, rivercat.

We'll have our hands full this weekend for sure. We have a demoralizing history against EWU. EB3 has torched us through the air and with his legs and Coach Best has run the score up on us on a couple of occasions. There's no love lost here for Best.

I'm not sure how well we'll be able to pressure and contain EB3. He's just so quick and elusive. We're pretty dinged up at the moment too especially on our OL. Our Fr QB, Miles Hastings, has a couple of starts under his belt now and showed us that he can throw the long ball last week against NAU. That's something we had been missing.

It's great that the game is here in Davis instead of Cheney on that God awful red turf. Aggie Stadium will be packed and loud. Hopefully, we'll be able to send the Eagles home with their third straight loss.

Good for her. What is DBGHCS? Link...?

Totally agree!

Removed post.

I hope the selection committee doesn't place geographical proximity as there #1 priority for playoff pairings. Thant would obviously penalize conferences like the Big Sky that will likely have multiple bids. I also do not think it is fair at all to lump some of the strongest contenders against each other in the the early rounds while weaker programs may get easy opponents just because of geography.

The Aggie women's basketball team has been unfairly penalized geographically in the NCAA Tournament when they were sent to Stanford in the first round just because of proximity on a couple of occasions.

I think we need to prove that we fully deserve those high ranking numbers in the next two games. If we beat both EWU and Sac, then I think #4 would be credible.

Go ahead and drop some names, Toke. A bit of Aggie history is always nice to read.

Here's another current bracket prediction that I hope doesn't happen. I'm hoping we never travel to EWU for a playoff game ever again.

The loyal FCS fans over on anygivensaturday.com have the Ags solidly at #6:

Sam Herder at Hero Sports has an interesting poll in his Top 25 including the following:

1. Sam Houston State
2. Montana State
3. James Madison
4. South Dakota State
5. North Dakota State
6. UC Davis
7. Sacramento State
8. Eastern Washington
9. Villanova
10. Missouri State

also #14 Montana

The Stats Perform FCS Poll has us at #6. This seems to be the poll that the NCAA relies on the most along with the AFCA Coaches Poll.

As much as I hate to say it, I agree...

I remember him getting injured. He took an extremely violent hit. I'm not sure anyone would be the same after getting a concussion like that.

I thought the blue field at Boise State was ugly but that red carpet is 100x worse! I really hope we don't have to go to EWU for a playoff game ever again.

Yes, if we blow out EWU and Sac we'll definitely be a high seed with a bye in the first round and then host. That would be the best possible scenario for us but highly unlikely.

I could see a #4 seed if we win both of our final 2 games. However, I think we will be the underdog going into the EWU game and probably 50/50 or the underdog going into the Sac game.

What happens in regards to the playoffs if we get blown out in both of these games...?

“It was a little bit of a blessing to go into halftime with the lead,” said Aggie head coach Dan Hawkins.

“In the first half we made enough plays to get things done, but it was by no means clean.”

I hope the team has a long memory of our recent loses against EWU and that they come out with a 100% determination and focus.

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