Re: Pre-Season Poll
The conference is solid and deep this year. All. I can say is “See you this fall; we will decide it on the field!”

Re: Pre-Season Poll
North Dakota was picked 1st in both polls last year. Weber was 5th in both and SUU was 7th in both. EWU was picked 2nd in both polls.
ND went 2-6.
WSU and SUU went 7-1.
EWU didn't make the playoffs.
Anybody that puts any weight at all in these polls is a complete idiot.

Re: Pre-Season Poll
8th is exactly where they should be ranked. Until the Cats win big games and have winning records, they aren't going to get any love in these polls. Polls are worthless though.

Re: Pre-Season Poll
Starting QB from the last two years is gone. What did you think would happen in the polling? I think TJ is going to roll with this team. I'm going 5-0 out of the gate.

Re: Pre-Season Poll
I think the polls closed before the Murray news came out, I could be wrong though. Either way, like I said in the other thread, the out of state media just sees the key losses at RB, WR, Mac and McCabe gone from a sub .500 team. They aren't aware if the great depth Coach has built and the immediate help the transfers will bring. I figured we would be around here, I will be shocked if we actually finish lower than 4th.

Re: Pre-Season Poll
As some others have said, it’s hard to argue with that ranking. I think they’re better than that and they’ll end up higher, but there is not much to prove that right now. A lot of unknowns and the bottom line is they’ve had a losing record for 3 years in a row now. Need to win some games here to earn that respect, that’s for sure.

Re: Pre-Season Poll
I have no bones to pick with being picked in the middle of the pack. Preseason rankings mean nothing and can serve to motivate.
There’s a team ranked above us who lost their starting QB, has a new coach, and who we’ve beaten toro years in a row.
Put that on the bulletin board!

Re: Pre-Season Poll
The conference is as deep as it's been in many years. There are 8 teams that could take it all.....including the Cats.....I think this season is going to be a dogfight and who's the last one standing is anyone's guess at this point.

Re: Pre-Season Poll
I think it's a little low, but fair considering the recent news we just lost our QB and we don't have any type of proven backup.IHATEHIPPIES wrote: ↑Mon Jul 16, 2018 7:53 pmWhat’s your guys take? I think 8 in both polls is really low.

Re: Pre-Season Poll
Personally, I thought our team last year was a lot better than where we finished in the Big Sky.
We played some very very tough teams--teams that did well in the NC playoffs. And we were very
competitive in those games, but did not get wins. Frankly, I enjoyed watching the games last year
MUCH more than when we had Dakota Prukup running up and down the field, but we were losing by
30.
Losing our QB will make it a tough year to get lots of wins, but the game is played on the field, not paper
