If things go the Viks way this weekend they could be tied for first place with just Montana.
First and foremost we need to take care of business against ISU, but there are some other games that could really help us this week. I think Weber has a solid shot against NAU. The Wildcats have looked pretty solid lately in beating Sac State and playing Montana tough and their defense has only given up 25 points in their last three games. Plus being at home should help them. I'd be nice to seee NAU go down because we'd control our own destiny in the conference once again.
Sac State also has a fair chance of upsetting Montana State. MSU has looked pretty bad lately only beating a winless Southern Utah team 7-3 at HOME, and getting smoked by Eastern up in Cheney last week. CSUS has showed that they can play with pretty much anybody in the conference because their defense is so strong and when their able to get things together on offense they can beat anybody in the conference.
Montana losing to UNC won't happen, but the Viks don't really need it to and I might not mind having a chance to knock then off when they're still undefeated because if we're going to win the conference we pretty much have to beat them anyway.
So those first two outcomes would leave every other team in the Big Sky with at least two conferences loses except PSU and UM and put the Viks in sole posession of second. That NAU loss still stings but a lot of things could be made right this weekend.
