Will this be the same story as last year? Idaho got all kinds of hype early on and then they ended up getting beat by UAB at home in the playoffs. We know how they did in Brookings the next week! They have a third string freshmen quarterback starting. That’s a tall task for any freshmen no matter how talented he is. I am not trying to take anything away from their accomplishments this year, but I am not on their hype train yet.

Good question this early in the season. Villanova is 3-0 on the season and ranked #5 in each poll but sits at 125 in the Sagarin computer analysis. Chattanooga, with an 0-3 record, is ranked 23/24 in the polls and 149 in Sagarin's computer hard drive. Sagarin's ratings make better sense with each passing week. The early polls seem to be heavily influenced by last year's performance. All good fun to see who is talking about your favorite team.
It'll be interesting to see how Towson, another one of 'nova's opponents, fares in Fargo

Right now about the only 2 teams that have are Montana St. and Idaho.
That's another thing -- the Jacks have to play USD. UND, and NDSU every year.
Big Sky teams can't say the same for their conference schedules vis a vis contending teams

They look that way at first glance, but the computer rankings have them 42 and 51 spots back of the Jacks. They both have FBS wins against bad teams, which doesn't help them with the computer.
Now I’m not saying we aren’t going to get rolling but it’s hard to defend our level of play this point to either of those two teams. If they had come into the season ranked about us are you saying we’ve shown enough to have been moved above them?

1) Who is better Oklahoma State or Oregon?
2) Who is better between Wyoming and Incarnate Word?
SDSU will get much better once all the new parts learn how to play together. I do not follow Idaho to know how much they lost. SDSU will play a much tougher schedule but will the "season" them or beat them up?

Now, I'm watching Idaho-ACU game and pondering how I want that to end. Currently ACU is coming back but down by 10.
