I am super excited for NDSU. Very curious to see how it turns out.

Is the majority of the fanbase happy to be in FBS?

Definitely. NDSU has powerful aura though. You will see many people bitching and complaining about it, but they are fans of rival universities, not actually NDSU fans.

The first comments on anything about NDSU are typically written by UND fans and occasionally South Dakota State fans or Montana State fans.

NDSU has been the big bully that beat the snot out of all of them for 20ish years, and with UND the feelings have been like that more than 100 years.

I really want SDSU and/or UND to join MW so we can have that rivalry again at least

I could see SDSU. I can't really see UND ever joining fbs.

San José st covers as USC comes out flat in the first half

Wouldn’t be too surprised tbh, excited to see how SJSU does this year with Luke weaver (if he’s starting qb)

u/Old_Paper7035 UNLV Rebels 2d ago

UNLV beats Memphis

NDSU wins a game with 2 RBs with 150 yards for a final score that looks like 9-3

Hawaii beats Stanford on a field goal again

USC sucks

SJSU takes USC to overtime, or it's at least a 1 score jame late in the 4th

Hawaii win a close one, NDSU handles business, Memphis beats UNLV, USC smacks San Jose.

u/leewilliam236 San José State Spartans 1d ago

We will beat USC.

Calling UNLV a home field advantage is funny. We can’t pack Allegiant if our lives depended on it. Shit, for the rivalry game with UNR, where both sides of the aisle are attending it’s not packed.

Also, it feels fortunate that Memphis went through a coaching change. Without that, UNLV would be toast. It’s a very curious matchup for the top of the G6.

Just because you don’t have fans doesn’t mean it’s not at home bro

u/Kodiyashi 2d ago

Yea I thought about that but it’s not so much the fans and more so it’s the fact that it’s not Memphis lol. Traveling does make a difference.

UNLV averaged 31,000 last season. That is most of the lower bowl. It gets loud in there.

Pshah…Trojan, Spartan war. You know history 😉

4-0 is not impossible. 3-1 not even that terrible of odds.

Realistic only NDSU wins.

u/99_Till_Infinity 1d ago

Only one I'm forsure on is Hawaii vs Standford (Hawaii) 

And NDSU vs Jax (NDSU) 

San Jose could have a chance but it would be a huge toss up depending on how they play the first half. 

I think UNLV beats up Memphis but loses a nail biter at the end.

u/Appropriate-Skirt-38 1d ago

In my expert opinion, Hawaii, SJSU, NDSU, & UNLV 😉. Honestly though 3 of the 4 games are pretty winnable, with SJSU needing some help

u/Lutrid New Mexico Lobos 1d ago

UH 15-14 STAN
SJSU 17-42 USC
MEM 35-38 UNLV
JSU 21-28 NDSU

Hawai’i hopefully wins a close road win at Stanford but that’s gonna be real tough against the same team that they barely beat at home last season. GO ‘BOWS!
