A look at the Big Sky Conference in football this week...

This week is actually pretty lame because some teams have decided to throw in some non-conference games at the end of the season. I'm not trying to be a debbie-downer, just getting revved up for the Griz-Cats game in two weeks.

North Dakota (3-6) at No. 13 Montana (6-3)
This is pretty smart scheduling for the Grizzlies. They should beat ND and that should allow them to have some momentum going into their game against MSU.

Southern Utah (6-4) at No. 5 Eastern Washington (7-2)
I wouldn't be surprised if EWU loses this game. The game is essentially meaningless. But it is as home and you know the school would like to remain undefeated on the red turf.

Northern Colorado (2-8) at Portland State (2-7)
Their records may not show it, but this may be quite the game. However, it's just for bragging rights.

Weber State (5-4) at Northern Arizona (5-4)
There is three tiers in the conference. The not-so-good-teams, the good teams and the elite teams. This is a battle of the two good teams in the Big Sky Conference. While a championship is out of the question, if Montana stumbles against MSU, one of these two teams could pick up that third playoffs spot.

Sac State (5-4) at Idaho State (1-8)
Sac State could be one of those playoff teams too but I'm hoping Idaho State gets an upset win out of their system so I don't have to worry about it happening against EWU next week.

There you go, big thanks go to the Daily Inter Lake for coming up with the matchups each week. It's great to live in a state that takes it Big Sky Conference football seriously.
