That's plausible but I don't get the disrespect for USD.

Because if a team gives you the ball 6 times, it should be an absolute blow out. I really didn't see anything too impressive. Defense is good but, MSUs offense is better. USD is the worst of the remaining teams.

Hmmm they took SDSU to overtime and beat NDSU. They played a MVC scuedule undefeated except for the OT loss to SDSU and you think the cats will blow them out?
I don't quite get everyone's narrative that USD is not on par with the DSU's. I can understand being skeptical that the cats are not as good as them even though I think that is wrong. There is a logical argument to be made. But this notion that USD is not their equal is baffling. They have proven it on the field.
 
USD is a good for team but I think with the game in bozeman they will have an uphill battle. It would be a difficult task to go in there and beat a very confident and fired up cat team. Could they? Yes but it will take a mistake free game. msu 35. USD 21
SDSU……31
Bizon…….24

MSU will probably roll USD. Their defense is much better than UC Davis, as is their offense. I'll predict an MSU 34-16 win.

SDSU 20 NDSU 17

And for the championship SDSU 28 MSU 14

I agree with your semifinal picks, So Dakota St and msu advance

Though I believe the cats will win it this year*


* If they don’t break Merlot 🍷 this weekend or during the Championship game. If Touchdown Tommy is on the sideline in a cast the cats will get pummeled

USDs familiarity with NDSU and SDSU on top of good coaching is what helps them there. I feel like the overall quality of the players is not on the same page though.

USD has the best running back left in the field. He runs with a physicality that the cats have not seen.

I like the logic. Do you have thoughts on how MSU will stack up against those three?
I think it's really hard to say since there are no common opponents to compare except UCD and that was a pretty funky game to say the least. But USD beat them soundly.
It seems the bobcats have a great offensive line and a plus one run game that has been effective all year. They have also shown the ability to throw the ball in case the box gets stacked. Their defense has been the best in conference but who knows how that will match up with the DSU's. They haven't proven they can match them in the late season which is why I am a bit skeptical.

They're the underdog no one's paying attention to. They'll give the Cats all they can handle.

And Julius Davis although I know he hasn't played a lot this year.

None are even close to running as hard as the USD backs. Comparing BSC backs to those at NDSU, SDSU, or USD is laughable. Outside of the cats, the defenses in the Big Sky are horrible.
