Would love to see EWU pull off the upset at NDSU
Also pulling for St. Francis to pull up the upset at Towson....would make our win look better.

A Big Sky sweep would be amazing, but highly unlikely.

Here's to hoping.

Being early in the season, there are 29 games that have FCS at FBS ... and eight of those games involve ranked FCS teams. Of those, two FCS-ranked teams face FBS-ranked teams. One of those matchups involves Florida State, which is currently losing to Ole Miss -- if they lose, FSU will drop out of the top-10 (now #4), but will surely till be ranked. I'll provide more details on a new poll thread.

Edit: Ole Miss apparently doesn't want they game -- two turnovers deep in their own territory and FSU takes the lead, 29-28.

Three lower rated BSC teams playing on the road against three higher rated MVFC teams. Logic says the BSC goes 0-3....

UNI looking for home dome advantage. Certainly have it with coaches, Farley's is twice the size and has a nice shine. Stitt could compete if he would get rid of the size reducing hat, have to admit green sticks out in a crowd. UNI is quick to advertise they are on same level as big brother NDSU. Their coach wins a little over half the time and won some conference championships before NDSU came around, they would have beat us last time in the playoffs if the mean old NCAA wouldn't made them travel to Missoula. UNI has no kicker they have several new starters they hope #15 can play keep away for about 40plus minutes they fear the bear if the Griz get 90 O snaps (Oh Snap) their D is thin on the back end and who likes that. Griz win last week is still a FBS win towards playoffs, loss this week aint the end of the world. More pressure on UNI.
