Ranking the 2023 schedule
How would you rank the games on the schedule from most difficult to least difficult?
Here's how I see it as of today:
1 - @ SDSU
2 - @ Idaho
3 - @ Weber St
4 - @ griz
5 - @ Sac St
6 - NAU
7 - EWU
8 - Portland St
9 - Utah Tech
10 - Cal Poly
11 - Stetson

Re: Ranking the 2023 schedule
I would swap Idaho and Weber but seems about right. Idaho loses a lot on defense but offense will be tough. Could be a shoot out.coloradocat wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 11:50 amHow would you rank the games on the schedule from most difficult to least difficult?

Re: Ranking the 2023 schedule
I would put the friz #2 not based on the fact that they are better than Weber or Idaho but its just that the game is so hyped and so much emotion is involved.

NAU, UI, UC Davis and the cats.
And that would be fatal with a DII game in the early weeks. 6 DI wins........
Cats at 10-1 or 9-2 is likely. 8-3 at the worst and home field advantage to Frisco.

Re: Ranking the 2023 schedule
Might have misunderstood the end of your post there less than 1% chance we're home throughout if we go 8-3, or even 9-2. Unfortunately with the DSU powers, we absolutely have to beat SDSU early season, then keep it rolling undefeated if we want to host throughout, which even then it's not guaranteed..... which sucks. Such is life when you have SDSU and NDSU at the top.Montanabob wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 2:37 pmI see griz dropping four games next year.Montanabob wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 2:31 pmI keep idaho #2 and swap griz and sac stateRockyBearCat wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 12:43 pmI would swap Idaho and Weber but seems about right.

Re: Ranking the 2023 schedule
If we finish 11-0, which would include beating SDSU on the road, we won't be ranked lower than #2. I just can't think of any 2 teams that would have a better resume. We have to go undefeated to get a top 2 seed though (unless SDSU ends up with losses to us and NDSU). I think if we finish 8-3, with our only losses from road games, we'll still get a seed. We have 5 tough road games but it would be really surprising if this team loses more than 3 of them. This means our floor is likely the #8 seed.catatac wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 4:22 pmMight have misunderstood the end of your post there less than 1% chance we're home throughout if we go 8-3, or even 9-2.

Re: Ranking the 2023 schedule
Yep, agree with all that, in that if we somehow happened to go 11-0, chances are excellent that we'd be a top two. My main point was just that going 11-0 is about the only way we're almost guaranteed to be home throughout.coloradocat wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 4:37 pmIf we finish 11-0, which would include beating SDSU on the road, we won't be ranked lower than #2.

Re: Ranking the 2023 schedule
This is crazy for me to type out. But, I think if we are the eight seed that would be a disastrous season. 2022 was a rebuilding year. We should be loaded in 23. A trip to the semi's is the floor and I expect us to be in Frisco.coloradocat wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 4:37 pmIf we finish 11-0, which would include beating SDSU on the road, we won't be ranked lower than #2.

1) Every road game is against a 2022 playoff team. Some of them will be down in 23 compared to 22 but they all still made the playoffs. 7-4 would be disastrous. 8-3 would be disappointing. 9-2 or better is expected.
2) Frisco is likely bracket-dependent. If we have to face a DSU, especially on the road in December, to get there that's a hurdle we haven't cleared before (not even close).

Re: Ranking the 2023 schedule
Yep. Gotta love all or nothing posts with no form of context. How some posters on here can forget that all winning seasons are successful is beyond me. Growing up in the streak and suffering through many terrible seasons (including the 0-11 season), I NEVER take a winning season for granted.coloradocat wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 4:58 pmTwo comments:CodyCat wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 3:35 pmThis is crazy for me to type out.

And that would be fatal with a DII game in the early weeks. 6 DI wins........
Cats at 10-1 or 9-2 is likely. 8-3 at the worst and home field advantage to Frisco.
1) Every road game is against a 2022 playoff team. Some of them will be down in 23 compared to 22 but they all still made the playoffs. 7-4 would be disastrous. 8-3 would be disappointing. 9-2 or better is expected.
2) Frisco is likely bracket-dependent. If we have to face a DSU, especially on the road in December, to get there that's a hurdle we haven't cleared before (not even close).
Eric Curry STILL makes me sad.

Re: Ranking the 2023 schedule
Does it matter? Each game each week is the most important game to be played.
That “rivalry” game should be #2.
Lots of #2 that away.

You are so correctgrizzh8r wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 6:42 pmYep. Gotta love all or nothing posts with no form of context. How some posters on here can forget that all winning seasons are successful is beyond me. Growing up in the streak and suffering through many terrible seasons (including the 0-11 season), I NEVER take a winning season for granted.coloradocat wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 4:58 pmTwo comments:CodyCat wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 3:35 pmThis is crazy for me to type out. But, I think if we are the eight seed that would be a disastrous season. 2022 was a rebuilding year. We should be loaded in 23. A trip to the semi's is the floor and I expect us to be in Frisco.coloradocat wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 4:37 pmIf we finish 11-0, which would include beating SDSU on the road, we won't be ranked lower than #2. I just can't think of any 2 teams that would have a better resume. We have to go undefeated to get a top 2 seed though (unless SDSU ends up with losses to us and NDSU). I think if we finish 8-3, with our only losses from road games, we'll still get a seed. We have 5 tough road games but it would be really surprising if this team loses more than 3 of them. This means our floor is likely the #8 seed.catatac wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 4:22 pmMight have misunderstood the end of your post there less than 1% chance we're home throughout if we go 8-3, or even 9-2. Unfortunately with the DSU powers, we absolutely have to beat SDSU early season, then keep it rolling undefeated if we want to host throughout, which even then it's not guaranteed..... which sucks. Such is life when you have SDSU and NDSU at the top.Montanabob wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 2:37 pmI see griz dropping four games next year.Montanabob wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 2:31 pmI keep idaho #2 and swap griz and sac stateRockyBearCat wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 12:43 pmI would swap Idaho and Weber but seems about right.

Here's how I see it as of today:
1 - @ SDSU
2 - @ Idaho
3 - @ Weber St
4 - @ griz
5 - @ Sac St
6 - NAU
7 - EWU
8 - Portland St
9 - Utah Tech
10 - Cal Poly
11 - Stetson
NAU, UI, UC Davis and the cats.

I'm sure they will still be very good but outlets are reporting that Stiegelmeier is set to retire. Going out on top.

Re: Ranking the 2023 schedule
It's going to be a heck of a show in Brookings on opening day. Celebration of the Championship, honoring Coach Stiegelmeier, great rematch against the Bobcats.Bobcatsinmso wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 5:46 pmI can hear the cheers from Fargo.
