Any FCS fan knows that the Big Sky Conference is routinely one of the subdivision's best year in and year out. Last year the league sent five teams to the playoffs with three of its teams receiving national seeds in the tournament. The competition runs deep out west and it's no different this season. With a month to go before Selection Sunday, though, it's truly anyone's guess as to who will come out on top when the final bell rings.
Sacramento State, Weber State, Montana State, Montana and Idaho are all vying for the Big Sky’s auto bid into the postseason and a lot of those teams will see each other over the next five weeks.
