Sam Herder likes O’Connell.

Herder is correct (said someone for the first time ever).

I agree with you on Herder, but I do want to credit him on not jumping on the Jackson St. bandwagon. The coaches poll has them at #7 because of all Sander’s hype, but he has them at #12.

Now, the coaches poll has NDSU at #1, and Montana at #2; so if SDSU (or when) beats NDSU, and the Griz take care of Idaho, will the Griz be #1?

Herder has SDSU at #2, so with his love affair with the MVC, he’ll probably move SDSU—when they win—to #1, and the Griz to #2.

I don’t think there is a stronger FCS Conference than the Big Sky. We have four teams at 2,4, 5, and 6 in the coaches poll right, and Herder’s take on conference strength is based more on history.

Of course, the next three weeks will ultimately tell us where we stand nationally. Go Griz!

Negative. Winner of NDSU-SDSU will be #1.

I would imagine that’s the case, but I was just thinking out loud. It was merely a question.

Who cares. Take care of business the next 6 games and Griz are in the drivers seat.
