u/Herdistheword North Dakota State Bison Nov 02 '25

On the same day that SDSU gets embarrassed by a terrible ISU team, Jimmy Rogers and WSU lose to a terrible Oregon State team. Tough day for the bunny alums.

8

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot Nov 02 '25

The Top 25 is not out of the woods yet.

Austin Peay is currently trailing Southern Utah.

u/Specialist-Mistake-4 Harvard Crimson • Vanderbilt Commodores Nov 02 '25

If we do nothing short of making Yale our gimp suit bitch this year I’m quitting football and jumping off the tallest building I can find

5

u/GrandeRonde Montana Grizzlies Nov 02 '25

I still find it a little mentally jarring to think of Ivy League teams in playoff contention, but I'm here for it!

7

u/Specialist-Mistake-4 Harvard Crimson • Vanderbilt Commodores Nov 02 '25

Man I'm legit excited we FINALLY decided to do it, I've been wanting this forever. And I'm also hoping it leads us to scheduling some better OOC games as well, get out of the northeast and get some premier top 25 games! I'm beyond ready to go for some real title aspirations.

4

u/GrandeRonde Montana Grizzlies Nov 02 '25

Goddamn, can you imagine Harvard vs NDSU, SDSU, U of M, MSU etc.? Although I have to ask would Ivy League schools "stoop" to the level of the upper echelons of the FCS?

1

u/PositiveElection2141 Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Marching Band Nov 02 '25

What about us…

3

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '25

Harvard playing at WA-GRIZ would be insane

1

u/Specialist-Mistake-4 Harvard Crimson • Vanderbilt Commodores Nov 08 '25

This is a late reply but on the record, if I had to pick a dream road game to see Harvard play at, it would be WA-Griz. Fargo Dome is cool and all with trying to David their Goliath but man the atmosphere of a packed WA-Griz in a possible snow game? That’s a dream.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 09 '25

I'm biased obviously but a December night game at WA-Griz is a religious experience.

2

u/GrandeRonde Montana Grizzlies Nov 02 '25

The Grizzlies playing at the Harvard Stadium would be just as epic!

2

u/Specialist-Mistake-4 Harvard Crimson • Vanderbilt Commodores Nov 02 '25

I would love to see it either way, it’s all so damn exciting for me and a fever dream that it’s a real possibility.

4

u/Specialist-Mistake-4 Harvard Crimson • Vanderbilt Commodores Nov 02 '25

I'm not going to speak for the conference's views, me personally as a fan of football could not care less and I want us to schedule the best to grind the axe. I'm not going to pretend that Harvard is going to beat the Dakotas and Montanas of the world yet but I sure as hell would love to see us take the swing.

4

u/GrandeRonde Montana Grizzlies Nov 02 '25

I'm trying to imagine the turnout for a Harvard home game vs the Dakotas or Montanas. Would the FCS hype increase turnout?

6

u/JT406 Montana Grizzlies • Sickos Nov 02 '25

The trip down I-15 to Weber had all the ingredients needed for a weird upset and instead it was almost never in doubt on a weekend where damn near EVERYONE slipped.

…are we actually good?

2

u/GrandeRonde Montana Grizzlies Nov 02 '25

Shhh 🤫

8

u/AMankandaMiner Southern Illinois Salukis • MVFC Nov 02 '25

South Dakota State. How?

3

u/Trojann2 /r/CFB Pint Glass Drinker Nov 02 '25

Carefully

8

u/Adamscottd South Dakota State • Minnesota Nov 02 '25

South Dakota State has a lot more issues going on right now than an injured QB,

But by god, QB play today was unimaginably bad. Like, high school QB that can’t throw a football bad. If this team gets Chase back they still aren’t a championship contender but they’re a lot better than the awful effort today would suggest

6

u/PrideOfTheMountains Western Carolina Catamounts • SoCon Nov 02 '25

Going for it on 4th and long instead of kicking a field goal and making it a two-score game late in the 4th was a choice, but hey, whee came away with another W.

1

u/mvwilson9 North Carolina • Western Caro… Nov 02 '25

Big win. Battle of the undefeated next week. A win would be huge.

2

u/Jolly_Job_9852 Western Carolina • Silver Shako Nov 02 '25

I'll be at the game with my mom for all the marbles

u/LvlHeadThoroughbred Idaho • Washington State Nov 02 '25

Idaho wins and the donks lose. Ideal Vandal weekend.

u/tdpdcpa Lehigh Mountain Hawks • Patriot Nov 02 '25

I really can’t wait to see what the committee has to say on Wednesday.

18

u/wolfgangkobe Montana State Bobcats Nov 02 '25

Guess who isn’t excited to figure out their top 10 for the week?!?

2

u/Adamscottd South Dakota State • Minnesota Nov 02 '25

lol this kind of week is what it’s all about

6

u/Redditor_exe Abilene Christian • Indiana Nov 02 '25

We likely have to win out in order to get the UAC title with the loss to SUU, but we can probably drop one and finish 7-5 and still get an at-large with four ranked wins

3

u/GrandeRonde Montana Grizzlies Nov 02 '25

I was honestly impressed with ACU today. First time I've watched them this season.

6

u/Headwallrepeat South Dakota State • Miss… Nov 02 '25

Boy since we beat MTST I hate to see how far they fall in the rankings. /s

This literally never happens

I was honestly rooting for the Vikings today. I really wish they had a better program that added to the Big Sky.

u/thezander8 San Diego State • UC Davis Nov 02 '25

Committee high fiving and laughing with relief for having an out to leave Davis on the bubble again

5

u/ChunkyBoyP UC Davis Aggies Nov 02 '25

This should drop Davis out of a bye week in the playoffs. We need to respond and win the rest of the games on the schedule.

u/pinetreesrule South Dakota State • Minnesota Nov 01 '25

Can we bench marble

3

u/SchuLace13 South Dakota State Jackrabbits Nov 02 '25

He looked like a RS Fr but this isn’t all on him. Line couldn’t block. I am hoping he’s benched next week because Chase is back. Not sure why we didn’t let Jack Henry throw the ball at all. We used him like chase was last year. I hoped we would have put Jon Bell in there. Hes just a solid dude. nothing fancy but he’s a stable QB IMO.

1

u/pinetreesrule South Dakota State • Minnesota Nov 03 '25

I mean its time we start looking at him as a player. He isn't ready. Some of his passes were shit. He needs more time.

2

u/DeZeeuw2 South Dakota State Jackrabbits Nov 02 '25

Yeah. He, uh, didn't look good.

The way things are going, I’m not sure if I should be scared or excited.

u/bhorvic Montana State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns Nov 01 '25

I've seen a few other comments about this but what the hell is that lazy play action thing that Tarleton does?

1

u/Top_Judge_1943 Montana State Bobcats • Miami Hurricanes Nov 02 '25

It’s called the slow mesh. The coaches at Wake Forest have made it relatively popular. Kind of like a delayed read option. 

1

u/PROUDgrizHATER Montana State • Montana Tech Nov 01 '25

Idk.But that doesn’t work against a legit D and D Line.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '25

I'm just screaming at ACU to bring some pressure man they're doing the Griz thing where they drop 8 and let guys run all over.

6

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '25

The fix is in for this Tarleton game man what the hell

3

u/B1GSkyNorth Montana Grizzlies • Iowa State Cyclones Nov 01 '25

It’s official!* The brawl will be for all the marbles in the Big Sky!

*or really damn close considering I expect UC Davis to lose to the cats, the Cats to win their next two games, and the Griz to win their next two games as well. Even if the Griz drop a game, the Brawl is for the conference championship

2

u/MasterYikes Montana Grizzlies • Oregon Ducks Nov 01 '25

If ACU can pull this off, were gonna have 1v2 seed Dakota Marker and a 2v3 seed Brawl.

1

u/knook Montana State Bobcats • Big Sky Nov 01 '25

How do you reckon?

1

u/MasterYikes Montana Grizzlies • Oregon Ducks Nov 01 '25

Because if Tarleton loses, I would assume the Griz move to the 2 seed and the Cats move to the 3 seed. And then both teams win out to the Brawl so its the 2v3 seed Brawl.

1

u/knook Montana State Bobcats • Big Sky Nov 02 '25

I get that part, but the Dakota marker was last week and it was a blowout so I'm not sure what you mean by the marker park.

1

u/MasterYikes Montana Grizzlies • Oregon Ducks Nov 02 '25

Yeah maybe I used the wrong worked. Guess I should said “ranked matchups” not seeds. So the Marker was between the 1 and 2 ranked teams and the Brawl ill most likely be between the 2 and 3 ranked teams. Just cool that a couple of the biggest rivalries are with some of the highest ranked teams.

0

u/No_Bite_7238 Montana State Bobcats Nov 01 '25

1vs4 bud

2

u/MasterYikes Montana Grizzlies • Oregon Ducks Nov 01 '25

Huh? The Dakota Marker was the 1v2 seed. And we’re looking at a potential 2v3 seed Brawl?

1

u/No_Bite_7238 Montana State Bobcats Nov 01 '25

We're missing each other by miles but its still exciting nonetheless. One of us has to fall in the brawl

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '25

This week may guarantee an MSU vs SDSU playoff game in the 2nd round/quarterfinals. With both teams on the same side as NDSU in the bracket, I PRAY. But no matter who wins the brawl, I feel like the committee would want a brawl of the wild 2 in the playoffs more than anything.

1

u/Top_Judge_1943 Montana State Bobcats • Miami Hurricanes Nov 02 '25

UM on one side and the DSU’s/MSU all on the other side would make me so mad. 

I want an SDSU rematch. 

1

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '25

I wouldn’t blame you. If griz can come out with a win in the brawl and are undefeated, I’d say they earned it. Obviously a homer take. To me, I would say both MSU and SDSU would need to prove it in the playoffs still. Albeit the game between them was a close early season loss, I would think a game that close deserves a rematch. Especially with how SDSU’s season is going. And it doesn’t make sense, to me anyway, for the committee to put SDSU on a different side than NDSU, who blew them out.

1

u/Top_Judge_1943 Montana State Bobcats • Miami Hurricanes Nov 02 '25

I’ll be honest, I haven’t decided if I’d rather have a really close loss in the playoffs, or the opportunity to get beaten by NDSU in the title game again. Kinda sick of the latter. 

SDSU doesn’t scare me even if Mason is back. We’ve improved from week 1, I’m not certain they have. I feel pretty good about our chances with you guys, our offense is inconsistent but the defense is better than last year. WaGriz is just such a stinking hard place to play. 

1

Yahhh only reason I feel good about the brawl is that it’s in Wa-Griz. That will help out the defense for sure, which has been a work in progress, but will say if there’s a game they will show up for, that will be the one. If the offense can work at a fraction of what they’ve been doing and the line can give Ah Yat the time he needs, I feel good about the griz getting it done. MSU’s defensive line is going to be a problem no doubt. Lot of ifs obviously.

Whoever plays NDSU is a whole different conversation, and whomever gets that opportunity is going to have their hands full nonetheless. Don’t know what to make of their close games.

Ok I hate that stupid walking thing they do on the play action for Tarleton what even is that?

It’s called the slow mesh. Wake Forest does it. It actually makes sense despite being aesthetically displeasing. DL can’t fully commit to the run or pass game.

u/Badlands32 Montana Grizzlies Nov 01 '25

They do it all game all year.

Just going to give Tarleton a heads up.

If they get to play Montana or Montana State or Bison. That shit is not going to work.

Those teams will go and hit the QB 30+ times with that dumb shit

I mean it seems like it's working all the up until a defender decides to actually rush the pass and then it gets blown up.

It will get exactly -2 yards in Missoula in December

For all the hate talk Jimmy Rogers talked about for his displeasure of NDSU - he really set them up nicely by gutting his alma mater

Ohhh brutal pick for Idaho State

10 point lead in the 4th. Can Abilene Christian pull this win?

ESPN, during all of this YTTV BS, you have a game with "technical difficulties"? What the fuck, the main reason I subscribed to your bundle is due to carrying UCD games !?!

u/stayclassypeople Nebraska • South Dakota Nov 01 '25

They’re in a dispute over money with YTTV.

u/Daiko_ Western Carolina Catamounts Nov 01 '25

Dickens making incredible plays after scrambling. They cant bring him down! Amazing touchdown to take a two score lead

u/Jolly_Job_9852 Western Carolina • Silver Shako Nov 01 '25

Hopefully the defense can shut down the Mocs offense and let's get out of there with a win

u/skocats Western Carolina • North Caro… Nov 01 '25

that was such a great pass on the run too. he really should be the front runner for the Walter Payton

u/SnooMacaroons1606 Illinois State Redbirds Nov 01 '25

Abilene Christian confuses me. If this holds they will move to 4-0 against ranked FCS opponents... and 1-2 against unranked FCS.

If the Tommies can beat drake next week the PFL gets really interesting

u/Jolly_Job_9852 Western Carolina • Silver Shako Nov 01 '25

A touchdown here for the Catamounts could be the potential dagger to end Chattanooga. Offense let's get this done

If Tarleton loses MSU has control of its own destiny again!!

u/coldupnorth11 North Dakota State • Louisville Nov 01 '25

Beau is one of the best players in the fcs. It's ok that we have up points to this team in a trap game. We won, that's what we needed. Relax
