Great Poll, just to be a typical Grizzly fan ass I thought I'd jump in there and vote for the lowest percentage, and there it is, with
(I'm a Griz fan) after it, so I gotta vote for it!

Honestly though I'd give the cats a 50 - 50 chance, they've got two tough games ahead of them.

I think if we beat EWU, we are in.

If we beat EWU and lose to the Griz, we will be 7-4 and probably ranked between 8-15. I think with the conference difficulty and our strength of schedule we should get an at-large. If we lose to EWU and beat the Griz, I don't think we will get an at-large because they will take the Griz over us (EWU will win the autobid).

Exactly, Celtic...the EWU game is by far the most important for the playoffs! I definitely think we would lose out on an at-large berth to the Griz, even if we were to beat them (this is assuming a loss to EWU).

I agree with the thoughts. However, we will be 7-3 in the eyes of the selection committee because the OK State loss doesn't count.

I just bought my tickets to the EWU game. GO CATS!!!!

If we win the next two games, the Cats and Griz will most likely be placed in different brackets for the play-offs. 1-AA will want the Griz to host a play-off game due to revenue. The Cats will host one as well since they can't give the Griz a home play-off game without giving one to MSU due to record as well as MSU #7 in home attendance this year. I can see the potential for a Cat-Griz game #2 for the national championship.

If this happened, can you imagine the take over of Chatanooga. I mean, last year, I was impressed with the sea of maroon I saw everywhere. But if the cats made their first Championship game in 21 years, I have to think they would travel well too. That would be one hell of a time.
