Well my Bobcats season is done, but the BSC has been really interesting this year. I never would have thought I'd see the day when PSU was the cream of the crop of the Big Sky, but that's exactly what they are. So here's a look at who's still a contender.
PSU 7-1
PSU needs 1 more win to be playoff eligible, with 2 FBS wins they are the Cinderella story of the FCS in 2015. A victory next week at UNC should rubber stamp PSU into the 2015 playoffs, regardless of the outcomes with SUU and EWU. They wrap up the season at EWU, which will likely be for the BSC Championship and autobid.
EWU 6-2
EWU is on a 6 game winning streak, with more than a few nail biters in there. EWU hasn't been able to assert their past BSC dominance this year, but still they have found ways to get the win. EWU's remaining schedule vs Nau, @UM, vs PSU is a stiff one, but they will most likely come out of it 2-1. They need 1 win to punch their way into the playoffs, and that should be all it will take will EWU past domination even if they drop 2 more games.
SUU 6-2
SUU is another surprise of the BSC, they started 0-2 and now are on a 6 game winning streak completely dominating in their wins. SUU played 1 D2 team this year so they need 2 wins to be playoff eligible. SUU plays @MSU, @PSU, vs NAU another stiff finish, but I could see them picking up 2 of their last 3, but their backs are definitely against the wall.
NAU 5-3
NAU has been schizophrenic this but they're still in the hunt needed 2 more wins to qualify for the post season. they are @EWU, vs SAC, @SUU for their final 3, 2 wins is doable but it will be tough.
UND 5-4
UND hopes are still alive and need to win their last 2 games to qualify for the post season, which is very possible with a remaining schedule of vs UNC and @CP.
UM 4-4
UM needs to win out to qualify for the post season, with a remaining schedule of @ISU, vsEWU, and @MSU it looks highly unlikely.
Predictions
6 teams hopes are still alive, I say the Big Sky sends 4.
PSU wins out 10-1 autobid, Finals
EWU 9-3, second round
SUU 9-3, first round
UND 7-4, first round
NAU 6-5, no post season
UM 6-5, no post season
