10/19: Montana 22 - Sac 49 (Montana -27, Sac +27)
11/2: Weber 36 - Sac 17 (Weber +19, Sac +8)
11/9: Weber 16 - Montana 35 (Weber even, Montana -8)
... Sac +8, Weber even, Montana -8 ...
Missouri Valley:
11/2: UNI 27 - ISUr 10 (UNI +17, ISUr -17)
11/9: ISUr 27 - SDSU 18 (ISUr -8, SDSU -9)
11/16: UNI 7 - SDSU 38 (UNI -14, SDSU +22)
... SDSU +22, ISUr -8, UNI -14 ...
Big Sky schools will be tougher to seed because if they all win next week, they all tie for the conference title. I can see UNI being left out of the seeding picture at this point.
If that happens they’ll likely default to the conference’s criteria by making the autobid the highest seed and then probably determine the other 2 on head to head. This incentivizes conferences to devise the worst possible autobid criteria.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
