12 game schedule this year and a D2 win.

Its going to take more than 7 wins to make the playoffs this year...


Not necessarily; last year there were 20 teams invited to the 2012 FCS Playoffs. This year there'll be 24. A lot easlier for a 7 - 4 team to get in.

Yes, its easier to make the playoffs with 24 teams, but a lot more teams are going to have 7 D1 wins this year as well with the extra game. NAU didnt even make it last year with 7 D1 wins including a FBS win. It definitely won't be a given this year for any team with only 7 D1 wins...

I'd be shocked if the Cats didn't make the playoffs. A lot will depend on how their OL performs. I think Bleskin performed very well for his first start and I really don't think you can rationalize him being the reason for how they possible underperformed. If I'm a Bobcat I'm more concerned about the inability to run on CO-Mesa. Regardless, I think the Cats will be fine and will be heavy favorites in all of their games till EWU. NAU has been much less impressive than the Cats so far. MSU is still very talented. If you look at what they've done and who they have compared to the rest of the teams on the schedule, you'd have a tough time making an objective argument that they aren't strongly favored to finish in the Top 3 in the BSC.

Don't forget 4 additional teams make the playoffs this year, it was hard enough filling it last year with respectable teams. This really opens up for an additional team from the BSC and MVC

OL is a tough position and it's much tougher when you are young and playing against a formation that takes you away from what you are used to doing.

I would expect more teams to watch that tape and put in the D formations MESA put in that took MSU away from what they are used to...
 
Anyone who has watched the Cats much this year will tell you they look like a mediocre version of the past couple of seasons. If they tell you otherwise, they are kidding themselves.
