I promise that's not me who wrote that post (saying that because I'm firmly in the "at 8-3 we're for sure in camp").

As for the bracket, what he wrote is he expected Sac St to win out. If that does happen, I doubt we get a home game which means we're at the mercy of whoever selects the bracket as to where we'd have to travel.

I tend to agree that we get a home game either opening weekend (if we lose) or 2nd weekend after a bye (win). If MSU’s QB is hurt, Griz may upset and screw up some things,

I’m pretty sure we would put in a bid for a home game week 1, and get it based on UNI game experience

I sure hope we get a home game, We had a good turnout for the UNI game and the fans were into it. If we beat Sac, I think we'll host a second round game which would be great but I'd be happy for a first round home game if we lose to Sac also.

I have no idea how they settle at Sac St with a 5 seed but EWU at around the 12 seed.

The losses are probably pretty similar overall. Cal (Sac) is better than Mont St (EWU) but EWU's Weber loss by 1 is better than Sac losing by 18 to Northern Iowa.

Assuming Sac beats us, both would have beaten UCD on the road and Montana (Sac in Montana, EWU at home) but EWU also has the UNLV win. EWU beat Southern Utah by 8 more despite being on the road (Sac was at home) and won at Northern Colorado by 46 (Sac won by 3).

Here's the final bracket prediction from Hero Sports that has the Ags hosting Northern Iowa in the first round:

[Davis going to South Dakota St, and facing Sac St in next round

UNI was 6-5; that seems like a stretch even with a win v Sac. A couple of the MVFC teams are 7-4. Seems like 8-3 SHOULD be safe.

hmm. SDSU has been a bit up and down. Held on to win against a so-so UND team yesterday.

Sac is No. 4 Seed

Montana No. 6
Montana State No. 8

SDSU it is.
