Conference champions

[Junctioncat]

Can we win the Big Sky this year? Does it matter, or does getting into the playoffs all that really matters?

Being Big Sky Champs is always a plus, we should always want to hoist the hardware. For that to happen this year we need UC Davis to lose at least one game. Montana couldnt do us any favors so its up to Eastern Washington. I dont like rooting for Eastern that often outside of the playoffs but we will need the Gubrud-less Eagles to beat UC Davis. Which will be a very tough task.

If Weber wins out, and Davis loses to Eastern, We will be co-champs with Eastern and Davis, but we should get the conference's autobid due to our win over Eastern. But we've been screwed by the ncaa before. We would also most likely get a top 4 seed.

Yes we want another big sky title, accompanied by another long run in the playoffs

Just win baby. Conference championship or not, if we win out we should get a playoff seed.

The conference determines the auto seed, not the NCAA. The conference will use predetermined tie breakers to determine it if there is a tie(s).

Gotcha, I was grumbling more about playoff seeding and first round opponents etc.

Yeah bidding on games and regionization is a joke and screws teams every year. No way should Weber and WIU have been playing in the 1st round last season. Just need to have a real playoff and seed every team, with higher seeds hosting. But this is the NCAA and that would be way to logical and fair for them.

Weber not getting a seed last year was a travesty. Wofford barely won plenty of crappy teams, while Weber’s only loss was Cal and seeded SUU without Cantwell. Both teams had two losses, but anyone that knows anything about football could see Weber was better.

I’m not sure who advocates for our team, but if Weber and Eastern both have two losses, we need to make sure they don’t screw us over and put Eastern ahead of us. There might be lots of two loss teams wanting that top 4 seed. Good news is we had success last year and the committee knows who we are.

The NCAA has already done it once before so it wouldn't surprise me if they did it again. Name and history do a lot for your program. Its the reason Montana is usually ranked in the top 25 at the start of every season despite doing nothing the year before to warrant it.

What Weber needs to do is win out and win convincingly. Don't give the NCAA a reason to screw us over.
