EWURanger said:Sac State is a play-off caliber team, IMO. It *will* be our toughest game to date and we will need to pull out all the stops. The good news I think we can move the ball on them. Having TJ back won't hurt, either.
Portland State is dangerous as hell, and we are on the road in that one. They almost knocked off UM last night. I am almost more worried about this one than I am about Sac, because at least we have the Hornets on the road.
SUU beat Cal-Poly last night and they are much better than their record indicates. At least we have them at home.
ISU, well hell, anything can happen. We all saw what almost happened yesterday, and UNC isn't a hell of a lot better than ISU is. Plus, Tavoy Moore is ridiculous. At least we have them at home to close out the season.
Every game is winnable, but we can only lose of them and still make the play-offs. But we should realistically be playing to win each and every one of them. If we win out, we grab at least a share.
Basically, the play-offs start this weekend.

Losing this one would not mathematically eliminate us, and anything can happen, but it puts 4 teams in front of us from the BSC. UM, MSU, NAU would all have better records, and Sac St would have beat us at home.
Dropping one of the other 3 would in all likelihood not have the same impact, as it is likely they will not be playoff eligible at the end of the season (still possible for PSU, but currently with 4 losses, unlikely).
Saturday is huge.
Hopefully we'll have a large and enthusiastic homecoming crowd.
Go Eags!
IF IF IF!!!! this team plays up to its potential !! there isn't a team that can stay with us, if we continue to turn it over and CONTINUE to make bonehead penalties with the game on the line , it's gonna be a tough road to hoe! Plays called SHOULD be plays ran ! no check-offs at the line and NOOOOO stretching the field on 3rd and short !!! Yep, it's playoff time in October, EVERY GAME COUNTS !!! Lets hope we come out and bring our A game Saturday and then we can start this ALL over next Sunday !!! GOEAGS!FreeBird said:EWURanger said:Sac State is a play-off caliber team, IMO.

Everyone on this board who is going should be inviting everyone they know to the game. I've personally invited at least 8,000 people already.![]()
talon38 said:OK, so lets have NAU beat Montana and have Montana Beat Montana State. Even IF Eastern losses to Sac. State, Were still #2 and Sac st. still has NAU away, it all looks good to me. Eastern played it's tough schedule in the first half, MSU, UM, Sac ST., NAU all have tough games left and play eachother with the exception that MSU has already LOST to NAU which we beat along with the Grizz. Now REALLY need to beat Sac. St.

A bunch of ball left to play, but that indeed is the scenario.
If we were to run the table along with NAU and Montana beats MSU the Big Sky would probably finish with the highest conference ranking, 4 teams in the playoffs, and one of them being a seed.
It nice to dream.![]()

There is a lot of football to be played, but I doubt the Big Sky gets 4 seeds unless 3 teams seed ahead of a 3 loss Montana team. Given Montana's history of going deep into the playoffs, they'd be tough to leave home.
