Sagarin says

[Hammersmith]

The Bison really did a number on the CAA. The entire conference took a hit because of the way NDSU beat UNH and Towson. The MVFC got a small bump for the same reason, but nothing like what happened to the CAA. Big Fluffy is still Big Fluffy, though. No new additions to the top-25, but some mild shuffling because of the above. And I'm done until the final 2014 schedule comes out.

And I'm done until the final 2014 schedule comes out.

Lots of us really appreciate the time put into compiling and posting this information. By you and the others who have done so.

[Gully]

Great stuff as usual, thanks!

Further proof that there is quite a drop after the top of the Big Sky: The Big Sky conference predictor is closer to the MEAC than to the MVFC.

[NDSUBowler]

Your differential for the Furman game should be -4.48 not 4.48

#134 Wyoming A 55.84 5 7

Coach Bohl has his work cut out for him. The 2013 Bison may turn out to be the best team he ever coaches.

I'd like to see Wyoming improve, then meet NDSU for an EPIC showdown in about 4 years.

Fast forward 4 years. Predicted thread count for "Will the coaches shake hands after the game?".

I have a feeling time will heal any wounds. How Bohl can be upset with Klieman, if the reporting is true, had to be a heat of the moment type of issue. When Bohl reflects rationally, he will see Klieman would be a fool if he came with him and turned down NDSU.

Egyptian cotton or...?
