Big Sky Power Rankings 12/16

1.  Northern Colorado

There was that little trip up in Bozeman during the early-December opening weekend, but you can loose one of the two road games in Montana as still win this conference.  They also lost their first game to a MWC team in Laramie, but not many people win at the AA either.  As I write this blog, the bears are winning handily at Louisiana Monroe.  Saturday there is a road game at Oklahoma and I will not hold a loss in Norman against anyone in this conference, unless it is really bad.  

2.  Weber State

Look who is on a nice little winning streak.  But they almost lost it against Montana Tech.  Just need Mr. Lillard to play a little more consistently and they will be in business.  I will be really impressed if they win against UNLV in Las Vegas, however.

3.  Montana

The Grizzlies have been as consistent as anyone, but lost in Fort Collins to Colorado State last week.  They are taking good care of Montana-Northern as I write.

4.  Portland State

They are starting to show promise, but I had to hold the loss at St. Mary's against them.  


5.  Montana State

ESPN's Bracketology has MSU as the Big Sky NCAA team.  That is because they are in first right now.  Yes, they own a win at home against NCU.  Reality is going to hit the Bobcats with a Christmastime road trip.  UCSB, Cal-Poly and Boise State are on the list before conference play begins

6.  Eastern Washington

They have a brutal road trip coming against Nevada and BYU.  But they did manage to beat the Seattle Red Hawks, which is something that neither Weber State or Utah could do.

7.  Northern Arizona

They only have 3 wins right now, but are one team that is better than their record.  Are loosing big time in Albuquerque tonight and have a brutal weekend ahead of them at Air Force and Colorado State.  They have a couple of winnable home games next week.

8.  Idaho State

Whatever doesn't kills you makes you stronger?  They have a home game against Sacrament State this weekend.  But then the final insult in Eugene.  They have another winnable home game against the Orediggers from Butte, but do not look past them.  Just ask Weber State.  

9.  Sacramento State

Lost by 30 in Stockton against Pacific last weekend and have Idaho State this coming weekend. Looks like the old Sac State to me right now.
