2015 Sagarin Says

[missingnumber7]

I hate to say this but I can see the 5 Big Sky teams over even 4 from the MVFC. Yes we don't play Ill St, but that is it. They have so many teams that I don't believe there is a single team that plays every or even most of the "good" teams in the conference. I'd say Portland St. comes the closest but if I remember right they still miss a big one. Great example is UND, they don't play either SUU or EWU, the top 2 teams in the conference right now. So if you don't play those two and you expect to get into the playoffs, you have to do better than 5-3 in conference don't you?

The only way the Big Sky gets 5 teams in is if they run out of 7 win teams to put in the playoffs.

SUU/EWU/PSU...UM and UND need to win out to be eligible and NAU has 1 quality win(EWU) and still has SUU and Sacramento left. They could legitimately only have 3 eligible teams.
