Its official the Big Sky is one of the weaker conferences in FCS. 3 teams and all are out after the 2nd round. :thumbdown:
 
Nothing has changed much in 5 years. There's the MVFC, SHSU (in the playoffs), then everybody else.

The BSC had tough draws and Montana's win against SDSU was a solid one.

SUU loses by 4 on the road to probable semifinalist or even finalist now in the Bearkats.

UNI is riding a seven game winning streak and I think goes into the Fargo Dome and wins this week.

NDSU at home...enough said.

Compare that to the CAA:

UNH loses at home to a PL

JMU loses at home to a PL

William and Mary gives up 49 and squeeks by Duquesne only to get drilled by a fellow conference mate.



This season the Big Sky as a whole played a tough OOC schedule and had several quality wins. We're rated #2 in Sagarin and I think that's accurate.

3 out of the past 8 years the big sky had a team in the chipper, 6 of the past 8 years the big sky had a team in the final four. Besides one team (ndsu), show me a conference that has had more playoff success in the past 8-10 years than the big sky...
 
PSU had a shot last night, but just couldn't get any kind of passing game going. SUU got hosed. And a mediocre Montana team going into NDSU was always going to be a tough game.

I'd say the BSC is probably the #2 FCS conference. The CAA hasn't been the same since 2010, and the Southern is fairly weak since App St and GSU left. Southland is really just McNeese and SHSU.

PSU wasn't even close. It was very noticable to me how much N. Iowa has improved since I watched them in early September. Remeber NIU also went into Cal Poly and curb stomped the Mustangs.
NDSU is in a class by themselves. While Montana is a decent team with Gus at QB they were really outclassed by the Bison. The Oline for the Bison is 300 and up, something the Big Sky does not have.
Yes SUU got screwed on one call but they never should have been in that position in the first place. Actually all the way back to seeding, they must not have placed a bid to get a home advantage the first game.
If all of these games were played best of three series I don't feel any BSC team would win their series.
