So the big question is what to do with Weber/Montana/Sac and SDSU/ISUr/UNI. They all beat eachother, you could argue they all deserve a seed, but where? do you look at point differential in the games?
Big Sky:
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 we're being honest their should be 4 Valley Schools Seeded, 3 Big Sky, and JMU. But that wont happen. Montana State can bring themselves into the picture if they beat Montana.
All 3 Big Sky have very good resumes. Id put Weber at 3 still, considering they beat UNI OOC. That being said, the committee is going to have some difficult decisions with seeding and the last couple teams in.

That Weber St/Montana game wasn't as close as the 35-16 score indicated. Weber St outscored them 13-0 in the 4th quarter with their final TD coming with 14 seconds left in the game. They had less than 200 yards of total offense and were down 35-3 going into the 4th quarter.
I think Sac state gets knocked since there loss came at home and Montana and Weber losses were on the road.
I dont see how you can separate the 3 Big Sky teams and it is hard to put a MVFC team in the middle of that sandwich
This is what i came up with trying to account for the bus trips. I can see the 5-7 seed matchups getting moved around.
