Hard to say I don't agree with these. Montana is the easy choice at No. 1. No. 2 through No. 5 you can jumble up in any order and still have a legitimate argument for. The same point goes for No. 6 through No. 9.

Schedule will really figure into this this year - the Griz have to play at both EWU and Weber; EWU plays at Weber and MSU early; and Weber plays at MSU (and brutal bookends to its season at BC and Texas Tech). If EWU manages to go to 3-1 by October second, they will be almost impossible to catch.

We'll know where we're at real early, that's for sure. 4 ranked FCS teams, good FBS, and a top 5 D-II for our first 6 games. Brutal.
