In this week's Akem's Analysis, we look at one of the biggest games in this early season as the 5th-ranked Montana Grizzlies take on the 8th-ranked Idaho Vandals. Although the season is early, this game has huge playoff ramifications. Montana State takes on Eastern Washington at home, and they're looking to dominate their opposition as they have in recent years. Along with other Big Sky games, I will talk about the Bison taking on the Yotes in their conference opener. Another game that may have big playoff implications later in the season. All of this and more in this week's Akem's Analysis.
