If not your team then who?

[griz&beer]

Pick the team that will win it all, just not your team. I have not a clue, it looks like a good season, wide open. xoopsx

[McNeese75]

JMU

Is NDSU playoff eligible this year? If not, JMU or, clears throat and spits loudly, ASU. xthumbsupx xthumbsupx xthumbsupx

GO CATAMOUNTS!!!

Elon could be a dark horse if their QB lives up to billing. We'll see how good they can be in week 1.

LOL. Without App people to say App, this should be a short thread! xlolx

My vote:
NDSU or App

[BeauFoster]

The sentimental side of me would want UNI to win if ASU wasn't able to.

[AshevilleApp2]

I'll go with Northern Iowa. They're due.

ya, ya, ya .... This is easy for App St or JMU people, we just pick the one we aren't

[ericsaid]

JMU is the team that is due, even though they won 4 years ago last year showed they were due.

Would be nice to see the series for App and JMU extended after this years game to play every season.

OOC rivalry would make sense. Especially for the another part could be considered a conference rivalry: SoCon v. CAA

[JMU2K_DukeDawg]

In order of likelihood:

EWU
NDSU
Cal Poly

Obviously ASU has all the makings for another run, but eventually something has to happen... right?

Oh and, for the record, no East Coast bias here!

[ericsaid]

Since the CAA will make up half of the field here's my guess:

JMU
UR
NDSU
DUKE

[SoCon48]

As an ASU fan. I concur with 93henfan's Jimmy Madison's State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg

Who knows better than a fellow CAA conf member.

[Mntneer]

JMU

[lizrdgizrd]

JMU or EWU

[ButlerGSU]

Did Wofford lose a lot of starters from last years team?

If not, I'd keep my eye on them.

[slostang]

Montana. Great program with great fans (with a few exceptions).

Eastern Washington has the horses to make a run. Now we have to see how they react to a new coach.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Don't know if this is supposed the most likely or the sentimental picks so here's both.

I'd like to see win it:

Cal Poly
EWU
UNI
SDSU

Most likely in my mind to win it:

App St.
JMU
Cal Poly
EWU

[zilla]

James Madison

[Hoyadestroya85]

Appy

[McNeese75]

[ericsaid]

I think this thread deserves a poll.

[SoCon48]

LOL. Without App people to say App, this should be a short thread! xlolx

My vote:
NDSU or App

32 posts in less than 24 hours. Not spectacular, but not bad.xnodx
A poll in the works likely will derail it.

Now if the topic was "who'll win the SoCon, if not one's own team". I'd have to begrudgingly say Elon. As long as Riddle is there.

[slycat]

I'd like to see Cal Poly

[appmountaineer]

Cal Poly or EWU

[WCU LawCat]

JMU or UNI....if not App.

[APPALACHIANstate]

My first post....

I say James Madison U.

[ASU]

If not ASU.....

1) JMU
2) Montana
3) McNeese
4) UMass
5) Delaware

[slostang]

I also would not mind seeing McNeese State going the distance.

[JBB]

I think NDSU and Appalachian State could be in the big game. I cant pick my team so I will pick the Mountaineers.

[Syntax Error]

MSU, CP, UNI, JMU, GSU

Maybe, maybe not. The SoCon is just a flat out tough place to play and have high expectations anymore. Back in the big 3 days, you could have a good team and guarantee at least 4th place. Now, sheesh, you could have a great team and finish 7th.

[JackTwice]

LOL. Without App people to say App, this should be a short thread! xlolx

NDSU or App

It won't be long till the NDSU folks strike a deal with the App people to trade votes for each other xlolx

My vote goes for UNI or Cal Poly.

[thmst30]

JMU

[ngineer]

I'll go with UNI...They've been close and therefore are "due"..;)

[Benne]

I always like to see a Montana Championship. Montana State would be alright too.

[slostang]

I have enjoyed talking with both the fans of SDSU and NDSU during their time in the GWFC and would be happy to see either hang a championship banner.

I would say UC Davis, but we would never hear the end of it if they won one before the Mustangs. The Mustangs did win a DII Chanpionship, something the Aggie just missed out on a few times. Maybe if Cal Poly won two or three FCS Championships I could pull for the Aggies.

[eagle1]

From the Big Sky:
Northern Arizona

From the rest of the FCS:
James Madison

[griz&beer]

I do not know what to think, UNI ??? I would like to see from out west EWU ,Ca Polly, SDSU down south The cowboys of MSU and UD the blue birds and SIU. thoes skinny ass dogs.

[Scooter]

EWU, I see them being the best in the Big Sky. If they can host a few games, look for them in Chatanooga.

[SoCon48]

Maybe, maybe not. The SoCon is just a flat out tough place to play and have high expectations anymore. Back in the big 3 days, you could have a good team and guarantee at least 4th place. Now, sheesh, you could have a great team and finish 7th.

The big three was a myth of the Atlantic Ten implying ghta there were only 3 good teams in the SoCon. On eyear a SoCon cellar dwellar jumped and bit the Del Hens in the butt.

[MaximumBobcat]

Wofford.

[elcid96]

Samford

lol. That is a true dark horse, longshot, one in a million, no way in hell, prediction.

[da_Bison]

I'd have to go with Cal Poly , Sam Houston or the Aggies from UC Davis

[ASUPATCH]

JMU would seem to be the best option......but I have a soft spot for the griz. Love the stadium and tradition.....

SO......if not APP

than the U of Montana

[Eaglesrus]

lol. That is a true dark horse, longshot, one in a million, no way in hell, prediction.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, and if anyone will give me a million to one I'll certainly bet a dollar, maybe even two.

[RabidRabbit]

Poly & McNeese are each playing schedules that if they are 8-X, they are legitimate shots at the national title.

NDSU has a virtual shoo-in OOC schedule, so they, along with the other MoValley teams, will determine their destiny inside the conference.

Montana has a schedule that will lock them in to play-offs if win OOC's, even if don't win the Big Sky.

In contrast, EWU will have to win an FBS game, or be the AQ.

Can ALBANY surprise to get to the title game? xwhistlex

[Cobblestone]

I'll go with either JMU or UMASS; possibly Delaware. I do think it'll be a CAA team.

[Thundering_Herd]

I've waited too goddamn long for NDSU to be playoff eligible to go and vote for another team the first year they are eligible!!! My vote is still for NDSU

OK- Cal Poly (slostang- this buds for you), or SDSU (been a great transition buddy)

All I can say is if Cal Poly meets up with either NDSU or SDSU in the playoffs I hope it is in San Luis Obispo. Fargo and Brookings are tough places to get a win in the regular season. I can not imagine how wild it would be in the playoffs.

[HickoryCat]

JMU

[89Hen]

I think there's a decent chance JMU will miss the playoffs. xeekx There, I said it. Duke, AppSt, UR, UD, Nova... I can see them losing 4 games next year. Not saying it will happen, but that would eliminate half the predictions on this thread. It's going to be tough to come out of the CAA South this year. xnodx

I'm not sure how anyone could go against a fourpeat at this point. xoopsx

I see a team from the West taking the crown this year!! EWU, Cal Poly are my front runners and my long shot prediction! Northern Colorado!xnodx

[g-webb1994]

Semis:

Appy over Wofford
Montana over NDSU

Final:

Appy over Montana


Four-peat.

JMU, even though they might end the season with 3 or 4 L's.
