Incarnate Word season watch thread
- Thread starter Cycsk
- Start date
In Sagarin, IW is #173 and Montana State is #141. IW is on the road too, so they’ll be underdogs. Still, I expect IW to win the National title at this point.
What a ******* joke. We finally find the worst team in FCS and they make the ******* playoffs.

Nah, they will beat Montana State and get destroyed in Fargo on Dec 1st.
Agree, what was I thinking? I forgot we are ISU for a second.
IW will either win their first playoff game, or they will lose it, and then proceed to beat us on Dec 1st. Just because.
Teams who have only played 10 games in FCS and didn’t make the playoffs
Sacramento State
North Arizona
Presbyterian
William & Mary
Hampton
North Alabama
Savannah State
Howard
Tennessee State
Jacksonville
Furman
SF Austin (same conference as IW)
Start calling Pollard. Offer whatever it takes

Like somebody else mentioned, I’m sure JP has already contacted one of them and offered the same deal he did to IW, in case IW wins their first game. Maybe told a team to be on standby just in case. I have no idea what the rules are and who needs to be contacted, but no way is JP just sitting there doing nothing waiting for the IW game to happen.
TIL that the 4th place team (Montana State) in the Big Sky conference made the playoffs. That just seems weird.
Would have to do this is in a BIG hurry unless some backup has already been discussed. I am finding this pretty unlikely. They had to stop practice effective with their last game. Guess they could pick that up again with a scheduled game but still thinking it's unlikely. The advantage would be getting a couple weeks practice in and getting a small financial payback..

Surprisingly there are several FBS teams that missed a game this year as well, that never rescheduled. Not that I think these are better options or that any of these would be willing to come, although a couple could need a game to get bowl eligible, which again is not a great option for us. Just saying there are plenty of options out there to get a game scheduled.
These are the FBS teams that are short a game, and have not rescheduled:
West Virginia
North Carolina
Virginia Tech
Southern Miss
App State
UCF.....LOL
There’s that good ‘ol Cyclone deafetist attitude we love to see.
You don't really think we would lose to them, do you? Last night was simply not that bad.
Would certainly think it wouldn't happen, but if they get KSU'd this week it will at least be a moot point for a winning record.
And the way ISU has looked the last few weeks (in reality, not just thinking everything's fine because they score more points) last night was more of a culmination and a result of continued bad tackling, bad blocking, bad secondary play, and an offense that struggles to keep teams off balance, no matter how much pre-snap shifting they do.
Good news is that CMC likely gets more out of his players than Herman does because Texas' talent is the actual level that some around here seem to think ISU has.
