Holy crap, don't you guys have better things to do? Dark horse = team that isn't expected to win but just might. Out of SDSU, UNI, and Montana, UM is the one I'm most worried about beating us. Mostly because UNI always finds a way to piss away the playoffs.
Never seen a true 0.00 pickem. ISUr's home field advantage is exactly the same as our rating advantage(to two decimal places).
The 16pt advantage we have over Montana this week is something of a mirage. Sag can't take into effect the return of Mont's QB. Their rating would be much higher if you only consider the games he played in.
