ChBass 18 The Bison are undefeated, and that may not change in the Mountain West.
cyberchaox 18 With UMass and USF both losing, it's officially a two-team race for the G6 spot. Except the media will still promote Boise as the favorite because they held Oregon close and...I guess the rest of their non-con was other "top" G6 teams?
HieloLuz 18 Very similar resume to James Madison, with a single quality win over Air Force |4|. Outside of that their opponents have been slightly worse, giving JMU the nod for now.

Doogitywoogity 22 I’m a Bizon believer. I don’t care that it’s Wyoming, they shutout their first mano a mano FBS opponent. UNLV this coming week and UNM in a couple are going to be huge for whether NDSU is a playoff contender.

Comment: They didn't get the chance to play anyone of note in the NonCon, but they've been taking care of business and racked up their second shutout of the year against Wyoming. If both them and Boise State win out, it'll be an interesting conversation as to which team is going to be the G6 rep in the playoffs.

Justanother_0 25 NDSU gets the edge over JMU as my second G6 team in the field. Though Boise has the better resume at the moment, I believe that NDSU is gonna snatch the playoff bid out from under them by staying the course in their conference race while Boise probably loses a game or two in the Pac-12.

The next three G6 teams out are JMU, Louisiana, and Memphis
Maladroit44 25 NDSU bubbled up to the outskirts of my ballot last week, and this week they climb a spot to finally make it in. I'm far from certain whether the Bison are merely good or top-25 good, and this week's trip to UNLV (which just took down Cal) should tell us a bit, but the game to wait on is really NDSU @ UNM two weeks later.

LookAtMaxwell 20 In its first FBS season, in the Mountain West, though not yet eligible for the playoff. It moved up from #26 after beating Wyoming 28–0. It has no rule losses, but its best rule win is over #60 Air Force (38–32 on the road). It's held up by the 14th-best defense in the score model.
