FCS Football: More Than Griz-Cat

[IdaGriz01]

Life ... and football ... goes on. Without the Griz (or the Cats, for that matter).

For those who didn't choose to get plastered (team lost or won), the CP - Northern Colorado has been pretty incredible (EverSport). Down to the wire with on-side kicks and big plays. Final score: CP 55-48 (over 100 points for those not too swift on addition after this much booze). Hopefully, they get an at-large bid, with their final 7-4 record.

Pretty amazing day in FCS football, for those who care. I kinda assume that CP will get an at-large bid -- making at least three from the Big Sky, with UND and EWU.

#7 Richmond (8-3) lost to William & Mary (5-6). The Spiders will still get a bid, but their bracket just took a hit.

#9 North Carolina (9-2) lost to NC Central (9-2), which puts NCC in the HBCU "Celebration Bowl" and leaves NC A&T hoping for an at-large bid from the MEAC -- problematic, at best.

#18 Samford (7-4) lost to pitiful ETSU, knocking themselves out of bid contention, IMO. Alabama was kind to Chattanooga (8-3), so they will have a good argument with Wofford (also 8-3) for a second bid from the SoCon (I do not see the conference getting three, but it could happen).

Western Illinois (6-5) almost certainly took themselves out of bid contention with their loss to Southern Illinois, along with North Iowa (5-6).

So then, the question (for the Big Sky) is whether or not Weber State (7-4) gets an at-large bid. I'd like to see that, and think it's deserved, but -- given the lack of respect thru the season -- I won't be shocked if they don't get it.
