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.

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

I want an SDSU rematch.

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.

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.

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.
