I just looked at the rankings again. I saw that Weber State was ranked at 41st and we are ranked at 22nd, and um is ranked at 15th(!?). I find that absurd considering the performance of WSU last year. I have a feeling they are going to underrate SUU the way that they did Weber. I don’t think I’ll give too much credence to this ranking.

I think it's absurd they have um at 15. It's very possible that um will struggle to have a winning season this year. Probable losses to us and Northern Iowa. Possible losses to UND, SUU, SSU, UI, and Western Ill.


Can't make up my mind as to which is better - 55-21 or 48-14.

They have an easy schedule, so that’s probably why? I could see them going 7-4. Would need to be 6-2 in the league to make playoffs. Good receivers and running backs, but questionable QB and line. Only 8 returning starters if Buss doesn’t return. They look average on defense.

Don't forget Cal Poly. They had a bad year last year mainly due to injuries fro what I've heard. They always play UM tough. Also, UC Davis is no slouch.


Great time to be a BOBCAT!

Maybe I'll just change to saying they only have two probably wins - Drake and Portland State. Wouldn't hurt my feelings a bit to see them go 2-9 (or less).

They also beat Kennesaw State in non-conference play. But it was that same Owls team that ended Samford’s season in the first round of the playoffs.

Yes that could certainly be accurate. I remember we lost to a 7-4 NDSU at home in 2010 and thought that team is really going start eff'ing teams up. Their OT lost at EWU the following week was the last time they didn't make at least the semi's. Kennesaw just might be at that same point right now.
