Griz Schedule vs Big Sky

[HookedonGriz]

There was some talk of whether or not the Griz schedule has been tough (with teams like EWU and Davis not being as tough as many thought) and if they are battle tested. Looking at Sagarin ratings, here are the Big Sky teams rankings for avg ranking of conference opponents:

Sac St- 130
UM- 133
UCD- 136
NAU- 143
ID St- 144
Weber- 144
Cal Poly- 145
SUU- 148
Idaho- 148
MSU- 150
PSU- 153
UNC- 155
EWU- 155

This would solidify the fact that the Griz have performed well against a tough schedule.

Griz opponent record: 52-48

Cats opponent record: 38-59

This Griz team is battle tested. Once they finish out schedule with a current 8-2 Weber and a 7-3 Cats team, the cumulative schedule ranks the Griz with the 3rd toughest schedule in all of FCS. They are 17th in that category now.

The NCAA shows the Griz as having the 15th toughest schedule as of now, and Weber 17th. Pity Kitties are 110th. http://stats.ncaa.org/rankings?sport_code=MFB&division=12 then click on tab for Misc Reports and then link for Toughest Schedule.
