Possibilities of a loss?

[clawman1]

Of our remaining games which game is the greatest possibility of a loss, if any?

We always seem to match up well with Cal Poly. I don't think this year is an exception. I think Montana has the best opportunity to keep up with us.

No.

Hey now ..they have played us tough for a couple of years and if there is one coach who would like to stick it to his former school more than the guy who went to WSU it is him.
I am not predicting a loss I am just saying everyone brings their A game against us and this will definitely be their super bowl.

They did play UND pretty well last week but that is the last game I'm concerned about. They also lost to NAU 52-7.

Yep, ISU has played us really tough the past 2 years. I expect them to do so again.

Realistically we could lose any of these games but Montana and Cal Poly are the most likely. Since I could only pick one I went with Poly.

I'm really hoping to win at least 3/4 of our remaining games. Even if we drop one I think we'd still have a shot at a high seed. Ideally we finish 10-1 and this is all a moot point.

If we lose 1 and finish at 9-2, we'd still have a shot at a seed, depending on what happens with the other top teams.

Drop 2 and finish at 8-3, and we're in the playoffs but probably hosting a first round game and then on the road somewhere like Missoula or Fargo.

If we lose 3 of our last 4 and finish at 7-4 we're on the bubble, but we'd still have a decent shot because of our WSU win, which is looking better and better.

Lose all 4 and we're out.

I would be unpleasantly surprised if we lost to Montana. Not shocked, but I think we'd have to lay an egg to lose. That's not to say Montana is a bad team; they're not, they're quite good. I just think we should be a bit better.

Cal Poly is probably a bigger threat on the road. I'm still only about 50/50 on our defense, and we were pretty lucky to beat them last year.

My head says we thump Montana then lose to Cal Poly. That causes utter confusion for the Sky. We will win out and still be a top 8 though. UND should win out and get the auto bid, but no seed.

Here's a scenario for ya....

We lose to Poly and finish 9-2 along with NDSU (lost to SDSU), Poly (lost to UND), UND, and SDSU (lost to Poly).

Seed those 5 in order.... :shock:

Or what if we lose to Montana, beat Poly and both Montana and us finish 9-2. We'd still have a better resume than Montana, wouldn't we? The committee tends to weight the H2H fairly heavily, but we'd at least have an argument for being seeded higher.... :mrgreen:
