FCS Games 8/31

PSU up early on WSU 7-0.

That didn't last long. 14-7 Cougs still in first quarter.

36-10 Cougs. About 9 minutes left in the first half. That’s more like what we were expecting.

I am trying to find some of these games on ESPN plus, however, they are not coming up. I know some of them may be on other stations, but isn’t the cat game supposed to be on ESPN plus tonight?

Yes the Cat game is on the +. What game in particular are you trying to find? The PSU/WSU game is on the CW

Ok! I was looking for PSU. It said viewing starts on the 7th. The cats ESPN + said something similar so I was panicking

Ya, that game is only on CW... but most of the other ones we want to see are all on ESPN+. Regarding that game, I was hoping PSU would give a game but doesn't look like it. My gamecast showing 22-7 after 1... which is strange because it was showing 28-7 for a bit, not sure what happened.

The Cougars are scoring too fast for Gamecast to keep up with.

The SDSU defense has sure had a lot of "injuries" during this game.

I hope the Jacks get punished by the committee for getting boat raced by a top 20 FBS team like the Cats were in ‘22. Doubt they will.

The only win so far this year in the Missouri Valley was South Dakota's win over Division II Northern State Wolves.

UND not looking and at all against Iowa St. I just don’t know how well Iowa is this year. Last year they had some decent wins.

[Common Cat]

Could the cats be number 1?

Just went to the CW... Is WSU that good or are the Vikes that bad...56-17

Now 63-17. Their one WR has 4 catches for 141.

PSU has some dudes but the defense has been………. Getable

Could the cats be number 1?

Could? Yes.
Will? No.

OKST is a top 20 team and CU has Travis Hunter so SDSU and NDSU stay on top due to SOS. No matter how much either DSU team lost by that would be the response. We should definitely have an argument for #3 though unless the griz win by 30+.

Could the cats be number 1?

WAT? No. BUT..... as I pointed out in a different thread yesterday, now that both of the DSU's lost, It's official that the Cats control their own destiny. If the Cats can somehow go undefeated this season they are a lock for homefield throughout playoffs.

[MSU01]

Not an FCS game but Cam Ward and Miami are putting an absolute beat down on Florida. Hard to believe Cam is two years removed from playing for Incarnate Word, and he definitely looks like a guy who's happy to be living in Miami after spending a year in Pullman.

I actually agree with you on this one, at least one of the DSUs is guaranteed to have at least two losses and the level of bias that would need to exist to seed that team over any 12-0 Big Sky team would render the entire exercise of seeding and bracketing pointless.

Yep! I think my comment in that other thread was something like, if they put a 10-2 DSU team above a 12-0 MSU team given our schedule - we'll need to get the government involved.

NAU - Lincoln game having trouble getting started. Looks like they are trying to figure out a targeting call on first play.

NAU 59 Lincoln 6 One more quarter to go.

[Rich K]

Incarnate Word 7 UNCU 0 early in game
Last year UIW beat UNCU 42-7 in Greeley. I think they will win by more this year at home.

[Prodigal Cat]

ISU up 9-7 over OSU. Beavs not quite as good as when we played them 2 years ago.

[MSU01]

Looking more and more like there will be zero FCS over FBS wins today. Nicholls (trailing 9-7 at La Tech) seems the best option for a win at this point.

[coloradocat]

Furman trailing Ole Miss 73-0 entering the 4th quarter.
