Say what you will, but Sagarin was dead on last week. Predicted a 26.22 point Bison win over Weber, and the result was a 27 point win. Sag is predicting a nearly identical result over UND on Saturday.

SDSU is now favored against NDSU in a 1.72 point spread. ISUr would also be favored if the game were to be played at their place.

Big Sky retains it's 2nd place spot among FCS conferences, but there's still a mile of difference between them and the bottom FBS conference. And the CAA is within a hairsbreadth of the Sky(0.06).
