Why the big jump for Montana State and Northern Arizona?  Strength of Schedule.  Washington State and Arizona State, respectively opponents for the Bobcats and Lumberjacks, had big wins on Saturday.  Helps Montana State and Northern Arizona look good.  Montana would have no problem if they had scheduled a PAC-10 team and lost to them.
