UC Davis
After hanging tough with Stanford and absolutely decimating the Idaho defense, it seems the Aggies’ offense can be enough to catapult them into the postseason.
Montana
The Grizzlies have grinded their way to a 3-1 record, thanks to a clutch defensive squad. A nail-biter loss against Western Illinois is the only thing keeping Montana from a perfect record.
Eastern Washington
While UC Davis owns the record for highest-flying offense in the Big Sky, the Eagles are not that far behind, ranking ninth in the FCS in passing yards.
Weber State
Like many FCS teams, Weber State competed in a lopsided season opener against Utah, losing 41-10. However, the Bobcats are on a three-game tear through FCS play, and have an favorable game ahead against Northern Arizona.
Montana State
A tough loss against South Dakota State put the Bobcats in a hole early in the season, but after scoring more than 40 points into two consecutive games, Montana State’s offense seems to have finally found its footing.
Sacramento State
Three games into the season, it looked like Sacramento State could make an impressive run. A tight loss to San Diego State looked impressive for the underappreciated team, but Montana quickly decimated those hopes, dropping 41 in the Hornets second loss on the year.
Idaho
Turns out the grand transition to the FCS might need some time for adjustments. Idaho’s defense failed to keep pace with an electric UC Davis, and with the Vandals lone win coming against a DII team, Idaho is in dire need of a noteworthy victory.
Idaho State
The Bengals’ Big Sky woes might finally be coming to an end. With a winning record coupled with a 45-23 effort against Cal, Idaho State is trending upward.
Northern Arizona
After Missouri State defeated the Lumberjacks 40-8, it seemed Northern Arizona’s steam might have run out. But, a 31-23 win against Southern Utah has kept the Lumberjacks out of the woods for now.
Southern Utah
The winless Thunderbirds are not quite as bad as their record deems, with two of those losses coming against PAC-12 opponents. A four-point loss against North Alabama did the team no favors, and an upcoming game against Eastern Washington might not prove for a bright future.
Northern Colorado
The Big Sky’s second winless team also has been competitive in almost every game, with two three-point losses against McNeese State and Sacramento State.
Portland State
With a 72-19 loss against Nevada to start the season and a 62-14 loss against Oregon a week later, Portland State was given no chance to get ahead of the curve.
Cal Poly
North Dakota State thumped Cal Poly 49-3 in the opener, and just a week ago Eastern Washington put the team in its place with a 70-17 loss.
