Book it.

You use those two words way too much, only to be wrong so often.

It will be interesting to see how seeds #2-4 shape up. There's good arguments for all three you listed to be #2. Hopefully that OSU win continues to pay dividends.

Msu might be out of the playoffs all together. If SUU beats Nau they are a lock. Ewu a lock, griz a lock, nau a lock. Even with a cat win and nau loss. They need the bigsky to get 5 teams....idk if that would happen

If the Cats beat UM, they would probably be in before the Griz

I have to agree with this. The cats would finish higher in the Big Sky than the Griz and have won the head to head. Plus, the Griz still would be without a win versus a quality (i.e. a team with a D1 winning record) opponent.

These were also my thoughts. We need a win

Doubt it. We'd still have a better record

because record is the only criteria? who of EWU, NAU, SUU, or MSU would you take the Griz ahead of, especially since EWU, NAU, and MSU would all have wins over the Griz in said scenario?

Depends on the outcome of the SUU vs NAU game next week.

but according to the scenario, SUU beats NAU.

You are in the camp that NAU must beat SUU.

And I also stated that if the Cats beat the Griz, they would be in and you disagreed.

But conference standings don't figure into playoff selection other than for the conference champ. Cats are going to fall pretty far in the polls after today so if they "upset" us next week I think playoff selection for the BSC comes down to the outcome of the SUU/NAU game. Still don't see how a 9-3 team gets left out in the expanded playoffs though.

Didn't read that scenario. Sorry

Boils down to if 4 or 5 teams from the BSC get in. How can you put a Griz team in ahead of 3 teams they lost too if the Cats do beat them next weekend. EWU, NAU, MSU, and SUU would all have better resumes if the Cats win.
