Why do these guys keep penciling in Eastern Washington? They are 6-3 and in 3rd place in the Little Sky and play 2nd place N. Az on the road this weekend.

2007 Big Sky Standings
TEAM CONF OVERALL
Montana 6-0 9-0
Northern Arizona 5-2 6-4
Eastern Washington 4-2 6-3

Is N. AZ not eligible for the playoffs??

NAU can not get to 7 D-I wins. EWU can. The assumption being made is that the committee will take a western team that is 8-3 over a 4th or 5th CAA or 4th SoCon team (Cal-Poly would also be mentioned if they can beat NDSU this week). As it stands right now, there may be only 4 teams from the "west" in the playoffs: UNI, Montana, McNeese St. and SIU.

NAU can't get 7 division I wins, even if they win their game against EWU.
Which doesn't absolutely rule them out of playoff contention, but it is a guideline taken into strong consideration.

I don't think either of them deserve to be in. There are other much more deserving teams. the Big Sky should be a one-bid league this year.

I think NAU beats EW on Sat. Besides, we have already seen EW in the Dome 2 years ago......we need fresh meat!

[JayJ79]

Haven't really seen much of either team.
Hope you're right. An NAU win should pretty much keep both teams out of contention
