An aside. Arguably the biggest non Furman/Elon game in the FCS this week is Eastern Washintong at Northern Arizona.

You may think that will be a good dustup that may impact the Big Sky standings. Nope. The two teams have agreed that the contest is an out of conference game (despite both teams being in conference).
Yet, Northern Arizona’s game against North Dakota, who is NOT in the Big Sky Conference, DOES count as a Conference game for the Lumberjacks.

Makes perfect sense.
How does this happen?

I guess because the Big Sky covers a pretty large territory and there are fewer teams to play outwest.
