Less YPC better?

[catatac]

Biggest grain of salt for me in all of this is who have we played... hate to be that guy be this schedule has been soft with a capital S. Which is my biggest concern at the moment, how does any of what we're good at now stack up against actual playoff teams.

Mexico better than WY, Maine better than Albany, ISU is no slouch at home. 4 of 5 we have utterly dominated. Idaho has lost 2 of 4 against FBS or top FCS. Albany is not good. Abilene Christian almost lost to UNC.

Exactly right, I'm not sure anyone else in the BSC would beat UNM on the road. Maine is definitely on the ragged edge of the top 25. Idaho State is probably a top half BSC team and we beat them pretty easy in Pocatello which is never an easy win for anyone. Has anyone thought that maybe the cats have just made these teams look bad?
I think the cats are the best team in the conference but that doesn't mean I think they will go undefeated. College football is an emotional game and sometimes you don't always have it on any given Saturday.

I agree with most of what you said in terms of where the Cats are at, it will be extremely challenging to get through this schedule undefeated. We'll be favored in all the remaining games most likely, but it will not be easy. That said, I don't think ISU is good, and same with Maine. Ragged edge of top 25?? I'm not sure what that means, but I don't think they're in the top 50.

Hmmm you don't know what ragged edge of top 25 means? What do you mean that you don't think that ISU is good? That seems to be a little more vague than what the ragged edge of the top 25 means.

I would say those 2 are both avg teams. Maybe the are not top 50, but they are not bottom 10 either which is essentially what is insinuated by media. Idaho gets credit for playing and beating a top 25 team at home with Albany win. Cats play a soft Maine. Except that soft Maine beat Albany on the road. ISU goes on road and puts up 400 yards passing. Bad teams can't do that. I am just saying Idaho's schedule isn't as tough as ratings show and Cats isn't as bad. Cats have had a string of "easy" games in the past that they didn't win all as convincingly. High Temps, night games, travel, injuries, teams with new staff. There have been challenges and Cats met them all so far

This is almost exactly what I have been thinking relation to our schedule and Idaho’s schedule. My guess is after this game if we win by two touchdowns or more, there are a lot of people who will say. I guess the Vandals aren’t that good after all instead of thinking, well look at that maybe the Bobcats are pretty good this year.

There are a lot of glass half empty type people in this world and some of them are huge Bobcat fans, and post on this board.

There would be a ton of people saying that about Idaho, no doubt. Many of them would be fans from opposing teams and some of the media.

Par for the course. We see it every year. Teams are really good and might even beat the Cats. Then Cats win and said team just wasn't as good as we thought!

Rinse repeat.

I like the Cats by about 14 tomorrow night.

Colter reported in July or August that he was a golf scamble with members of the Montana media and asked over/unders for both MSU and um. Every one of them said over 10.5 for the gris and everyone of them said under 10.5 for the Cats. Some went onto say around 8.5. The bias in cat/gris media is evident constantly and this is just another example of it.

I guess I get it with the Griz coming off a trip to Frisco.

I was more annoyed at ours. Everyone on the planet knew we'd be at the very least 5-1; possibly 6-0 which we are. So they really assumed we're not very good and were just going to be a product of our first half schedule. I love it though. Cats are going to keep rolling.

I get it from National media, but MT media knew Griz list a ton off defense and arguable best player in each of the 3 levels. Also lost QB who turned season around last year and brought in yet another transfer so there were unknowns there.

Cats might lose but not sure that Idaho offense can roll the Cats. 41 against Albany who even Maine beat, 26 and 23 in conference play.
