Great , great, great win!

[wildfan]

I gotta admit that I am completely shocked, in an incredibly positive way. I expected a score much closer to last week’s. Great job Wildcats. Where does everyone expect WSU to be ranked when the polls come out on Monday? I’m guessing 10 or 11 or so. Don’t get too excited just yet, Wildfan. There’s still 3 games left in the regular season. Is it too early to talk about a road trip to Pocatato? Did I hear somebody whisper "playoffs"?

Wildfan, I had a similar reaction to this week's big win. On the most recent "This Week in Big Sky Football" broadcast, The Sports Network's David Coulson said if the top three Big Sky teams managed to finish with three or fewer losses, they are "fairly certain" to get into the FCS playoffs. I'm not sure if non-conference losses count there, but this is still a very nice outlook either way.

As for road trips, I challenge Wildcat fans to make at least three of these last four games. Now is the time to step up and "support the team" (as David Puddy would say).

Since the minimum number of D1 wins to be considered for a playoff invitation is 7, only WSU (7-2, 5-0), UM (7-1, 3-1) and NAU (7-2, 4-1) are even eligible. There are not enough games left in the season for the other BSC teams to qualify.

The Big Sky conference champion will receive an automatic bid to the playoffs. After defeating the teams in the top half of the conference, Weber State is highly likely to finish the season as the undisputed conference champs and get the automatic bid. The Wildcats would have to lose two of our remaining three conference games to be bumped out, an unlikely scenario.

Montana is likely to get an invitation by virtue of their ranking, reputation and number of wins against D1 opponents. Even if they lose to NAU next week, I think they will get an invitation.

There are only 16 teams in the playoffs, and half of them are determined by conference champion auto-bids. Northern Arizona will drop out of the top 16 after losing to Weber this weekend, and will probably have to beat Montana in Missoula to have a snowball's chance of getting a playoff invitation.

I sure hope the Lumberjacks get that chance, and that the Big Sky Conference sends three teams to the playoffs!

WOW, that game left me speechless. Way to go Cats, lets keep it going. This has to be one of, if not, the best team in WSU history. It must feel really good for Mac to get back at them for how they ran the score up on him so bad the last time they played in Flagstaff. I know it made me feel a ton better. For those of us who couldn't make it down to the game it was rad to hear the crowd from Weber on the t.v. broadcast making some noise I'm sure it gave the team a huge boost to have that many there. Now lets get ready to turn that potato cellar Holt Arena purple.

Road trip to ISU...

They are supposed to be trying to get that going today, so hopefully later this week we should have an update I hope.

But lets make sure to show up for PSU, the team needs a big crowd! 5-0!!

There is going to be a bus for students as well as other supporters. Call the Wildcat Club or the Alumni office for details. The Alumni are putting together the trip to help the Wildcat Club out. There are a lot of things going on for the Wildcat Club at the moment. I do not know how much the cost is at the moment.

Let us know when u find out, I hope its not more than $10-15 so we can get a lot of students/fans to go...

Would be nice to see a cheap trip and take a lot of busses. I think if its $25 a lot of peeps wont go. Personally, I will just drive if its much more than the face value of the game ticket. But the down side is I think more will go if they can ride the bus.
