Don't you guys just love all of the hype over Montana vs NDSU. Believe me, I am hoping it is all Griz on this one. That being said ...if this one is even within 4-scores ...the Bison are having issues in 2015.

They are the only college football game playing that week, and the first of the year. And it will be on ESPN so it is getting tons of coverage, which is good for the FCS the way I see it. Why do you want the Griz to win though? Id rather MVFC team win over a big sky team even if its NDSU.

I don't get the Grizzly support?   First, this is 1-AA against 1-A and I always root for “our” division.  Second, we play NDSU and if they win against Montana and we beat the Bison that is better for YSU.  If we lose, it doesn’t matter.
Just curious about your choice.

Go guins, while i agree with you, you are incorrect. Montana and NDSU are both in FCS... so its D1AA vs D1AA

Then all the more reason to root for NDSU, as that leaves us in control of our own destiny.  If Montana wins they go to #1 and we don't have them on our schedule.  And I know it isn't 1-A and 1-AA anymore, but since they both play fcs what do they call the old FBS?

It has to do with the number of national titles. I enjoy being #1 active (GA Southern is now IA) and #2 overall. Now, because of a bonehead play by ILS in the championship, we are tied with NDSU for #1 and #2. Since we are unable to keep NDSU out of the post-season on our own (with their recent history, it will take 4-losses at a minimum to keep them out), I have to hope for others to do it for us.

Sorry 1-AA but IMO, the best way to address that is to win a 5th, not root for more out of conference losses by conference members.  (Again, keeps our destiny under our control)  Besides, although not impossible for NDSU to miss the playoffs this year, it does look pretty unlikely, doesn't it? Being in the strongest 1-AA conference is to YSU's benefit, long term, and the way to keep that reputation is to win the non-conference games!

Fair enough. I think we have better than the 22 percent chance (at least I think that was what it was) that massey ratings give us though, and I do believe it will be a close game. But I really hope they are prepared to face illinois state and NDSU this year...

We were prepared to face both teams last year. They both had better teams.  What we can't do this year is lose to teams like Indiana State at home.  Games we had no business losing to last year.

You're spot on.  Even worse than that lost was the one to WIU.
