Not two years ago if we are just talking regular season. I refuse to acknowledge Co-Champions if one team beat the other head-to-head. Bobcats were Big Sky Champs in 2010. 2nd place in 2011
 
Go Cats! I hope they are ranked number one in the nation again this year going into the brawl. It makes it that much sweeter when we thump them. Pathetic bastards.
 
I can agree with that poll for now, we've got stuff to prove and the only poll that matters is the one at the end of the season.

Agreed. For all those who forgot, where did the Cats end up after being ranked #1 last year? Earn it on the field, boys.

Agreed. Which is why the new set up sucks so bad.
 
Seems pretty fair to me, I'd also bet if there wasn't so much unknown around JJ we'd probably be the 1st place team or at least splitting most of the votes with MSU.

The only one I think the votes were missing the boat on is SUU... but I guess we'll see. If I were voting I'd go:

1. MSU
2. UM
3. EWU
4. SUU
5. CPSLO
6. NAU
7. WSU
8. PSU
9. UND
10. UCD
11. ISU
12. Sac
13. UNC

The idea of Co-Champs is ridiculous. It needs to go to head-to-head to decide it

It gets even worse with the new teams being added the the conference. You better get used to it. I hate it too.

Yep. That's the only poll I care about.

I am sure that there are tie-breakers if two teams end up with identical records and who haven't played one another to determine who gets the auto-bid. Heck, I know, we take a poll...
