The marquee wins for the conference will be NAU over Ole Miss & Weber State over Seton Hall.

The games I wanted to pick but my gut said no were:
Weber over BYU at Home.
Idaho State over Pacific at Home.
Eastern Washington over Washington
Idaho over Washington State

The PAC 12 usually drops one game to the Big Sky. But I am not sure I see that happening this year.

I see SUU and North Dakota the most likely to drop a game to a non-D1 school.

Is UVU the unofficial member of the conference. They play many of the schools.
 
Idaho State beating USU in Logan, but losing to UVU in Orem?? There is a far better chance of the Cats beating BYU at the Dee than the Bengals winning in Logan and UVU lost practically everything from their WAC Championship Team. USU is more talented than they were last year. It is going to take 10 games for the Aggies to start playing well, but they have a lot of potential. I'm glad the Cats get them early, and even then, it is going to be a battle. It always is.

Other than that...Nice write up. I like the devotion. Were you really bored?? :kisswink:
 
You are right there are some things that make you scratch your head in there. I really just went down the schedule from the Big Sky and went with my gut. I wanted to see how much better the conference as a whole would be. And we are going to be better.

I think USU is going to have a bad season and is going to drop some games at home. Ian Fox is going to propel the Bengals to victory from the bench.
 
So.... you are saying that ISU will out Fox USU on USU's home floor?

I like your twisted thinking. This is sort of like Fox winning the Freshman of the Year award. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Portland State over USC is the big surprise win of the year so far.

Last night Eastern smacked down UVU. Sac State pulled out a close win on the road at UC Riverside. Anytime the conference can get a road win against a D1 team we will take it. The only blemish is Montana State getting throttled by Grand Canyon.
