2023 Sagarin Says

[BigHorns]

Last week Sagarin predicted a 38 point win. We won by 45, so beat expectations.

This week Sagarin predicts we beat Murray by 30. Can we win by 37, and move up 3 more spots?

I think we're still in top 8, in spite of the polls. Maybe not top 4 like Sagarin says.

I think we're lower than 8. Just a guess, but I think we are #9. UCA is our best win and that UND disaster is still fresh in everyone's memory. Ultimately, it really doesn't matter if we don't win 1 or 2 of the final 3 games. I also think last week and this week are fool's gold for our defense and predict there is 2 more losses coming.

Not sure I like the idea of this discussion instead of the usual, 'are we #1 or #2 seed for the playoffs?'

NDSU not in the top 10 released today by the playoff committee. Last 3 games are huge for the Bison.

Lol this is so classic FCS. Glad they can still count how many losses a team has. Furman #3. The back half of the top 10.

Where is that weirdo who keeps bashing CUSA? At least they don’t have to put up with this anymore

How else would you possibly gauge the quality of a team???? I mean they are all FCS so of course their schedules are the same quality right??

It has always been amazing to me how professionals that supposedly should understand the landscape of the FCS continually over hype bad teams.


*I'm not saying NDSU should have been in the top 10 but at the same time look at some of those teams
