Opening weekend looks pretty straight forward for the most part. Besides Cal Poly, Montana looks like they have the best shot to knock off an FBS team.

Saturday August 30th:

Southern Utah @ Nevada
Montana @ Wyoming - in a close one
Portland St @ Oregon St - OSU continues to struggle against the Big Sky
UC Davis @ Stanford
Northern Arizona @ San Diego St - SDSU is going to take NAU too lightly and be surprised
Montana St @ Arkansas St
Sac State @ Incarnate Word
Montana Western @ Eastern Washington

Bold prediction, three BSC FBS upsets. Maybe a bit of wishful thinking, but not outside the realm of possibility. Gotta take a risk somewhere.

I think CP & MSU are both a bit more likely to win their FBS games than PSU or NAU, though I wouldn't pick any of those. I did think Poly would beat NMSU, but that was before the arrests so a close loss seems the most likely outcome now.

I think my picks will be safe this week. The only 2 I was really torn over was the Montana @ Wyoming and CP @ NMSU games. Under normal conditions, I'd have picked the Mustangs to win, but just have a hard time seeing them winning after losing 5 potential starters. Unless they've got a lot of hidden talent waiting in the wings, I don't see them winning that game. And even if their replacements are adequate, losing players equals reduced depth.

I don't think Montana will be good enough to beat even a very mediocre program in Wyoming. Montana has way too many injuries to critical personnel and I could see them opening up the year at 1-2 if they don't have some really capable guys to replace the injured guys.

Well... I think it's safe to say that all of us are 1-0 so far to start the season! xthumbsupx

Thought I would bump this since 2nd thread on this was started.

I don't see our depleted/injured Offense doing well at all. But we shall see.
