Delta Devils added to 2017 schedule

Since we are going to be traveling to Cheney it would be nice to get a couple of easy wins at home next year. At this point I would put the EWU road game in the L column if I had to guess. That makes the non conference schedule no margin for error when it comes to playoff seeding.

We needed 2 overtimes to win out non conference games. If one of those is a loss were not even ranked in the top 10 and home field is gone.

I LOVE the tough home non conference schedule. This year has been a blast. But coupling that with a road trip to Cheney is kind if dangerous. The committee looks at a road loss to a tough FCS team probably worse than a loss to a shitty FBS opponent. Sad but true.

Look at UNIs schedule. Totally killed a good team

UNI had opportunities to beat both Montana and EWU and lost. That's what killed them. The Bison had opportunities to beat CSU, EWU, and Iowa and did it. That's the difference.

Had UNI replaced Montana and EWU with wins over 2 cupcakes, they would be talking about getting home field in the playoffs if they win today. Instead their season is on the line and will miss the playoffs if they lose. That could have been us if the kickers for CSU and EWU were better.

Can't knock the schedule out of the park every year. Is what it is. Get us primed up for valley play. Kind of feel like the scheduling philosophy the last 5 years has been somewhat successful

You live in DC? My sister organized the alumni watch parties there for a couple years

We were regulars until just the last couple of years. Now we can get just about every game at home so we go less often.

I think it's a good game. DI Opponent, Jerry Rice's alma mater. Way better than getting a DII game again.
