Sports Illustrated Big Sky Conference Preview

The 2022 gris barely made it in the playoffs. The schedule wasn’t that hard, it was a typical Big Sky schedule that exposed how the gris struggle against good teams away (Sac, Weber, Cats). You didn’t play SDSU like the cats did, your games before conference stuff was all super simple.

The Griz lost their very good qb for SS and Weber, and he was hurt later too.

In 2023, the Cats struggled at home and on the road, and with at least one healthy qb. Not like the Griz.

The committee looks at all games. When the Griz only lose 1 and win all games against tough teams, the committee likes that and awards a no. 2 seed.

When the Cats win their easier games and lose all of their tough games, the Cats don't get as good of a seed. Then, they get beat at home in the playoffs by an unseeded team.

Cats had a great team that had previously gone to the semi finals multiple times in a row. The gris hadn’t had true success in a while.

Hmm. Griz went 10-4 in 2019, and 10-3 in 2021 and lost in the quarterfinals (on the road) both years. Both of those finishes were better than the Cats this year.

The Cats would have to be 4 times better next year than last to be horse shit.

How about cow manure? I think that would be an easier goal for them.

The bios for the authors of the write up indicate that one has been an FCS poll voter for two seasons. The other guy is a huge question mark.

Take it for what it is.
