More details here.

Although the Raiders have the #5 ranking and Corban is #11 (according to the coaches’ poll), Massey has things reversed with Corban at #6 and SOU at #13. Massey ranks Corban’s schedule as the most challenging in all of the NAIA. Corban barely lost to undefeated #2 Northwestern (who Massey has as #1).

The winner on Friday will grab first place in the conference while the loser will fall back into a 2nd place tie with Eastern Oregon (who Massey has as #3).

Details about today’s game can be found here.

A few things…

I’ve heard people talk about how the Raiders season is already over after losing their first couple games. Not true. The Sacramento State game means next to nothing–especially considering how well Sac State fared against Arizona State last weekend.

Southern Oregon has had problems with Eastern Oregon at home over the last several years. Last Saturday wasn’t an exception. SOU lost to EOU at home in 2014 too, and look how that season turned out for the Raiders.

Massey has the Raiders as 7-point underdogs at College of Idaho. However, if the Raiders win (and Massey gives Southern Oregon a 32% chance of doing so), they will possibly be in a tie for first place in the conference. Even if they lose, SOU still gets to face Eastern Oregon again (at a venue they have done very well at) and College of Idaho at home to make amends for the early losses.

In summary, the season is far from over–regardless of what happens today, and a win today can quickly move them back into pole position.

Today’s photo comes from early November 2012. I ride by this tree nearly every day on my bike, and it won’t be long before it looks like this again.
