It’s Homecoming this Saturday (Oct. 20) for the top-ranked Eagles, but home-field advantage hasn’t meant a great deal as of late, as Sacramento State visits for a Big Sky Conference game in Cheney, Wash. Kickoff is 4:05 p.m. at Roos Field in Eastern’s 86th Annual Homecoming Game, with EWU owning a 50-32-3 record in its previous 85 Homecoming contests.

Eastern is coming off a 27-24 victory over second-ranked Montana State, giving the Eagles their first-ever 4-0 start in Big Sky Conference play. Thanks to losses to the top three teams in the Sports Network NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Top 25 poll, the win catapulted the 5-1 Eagles from sixth to the top spot. It’s the third-straight year Eastern has been ranked No. 1 at one point in the season. The lone loss for the Eagles this season was a narrow 24-20 setback at Washington State on Sept. 8.

The Hornets, who earlier this season knocked off a Pac-12 Conference foe for the second-straight year with a 30-28 victory at Colorado, are 5-2 overall and 3-1 in the Big Sky following last week’s 19-14 home victory over Weber State. Sac State is off to its best start in two decades, matching the 5-2 start of the 1992 squad.

In the previous 12 meetings between EWU and Sacramento State, the home team has won only twice (EWU 45-10 in 2004 and 28-24 in 2010). Eastern is 6-0 in Sacramento and 2-4 in Cheney in those 12 meetings. The Eagles are a perfect 11-0 against the Hornets in Sacramento, and lead the all-time series 16-4, including a 28-24 victory in Cheney in 2010.

Just a pet peeve thing for me, I realize you won't care.

I wish we would stop "ranking" teams past 25. Where does it end? #2 JMU vs. #112 Georgia State in two weeks would look better just because of number signs.

Carry on.

Sac State is on the bubble, and has a case to be ranked. 5-2 with an FBS win, and an FBS loss. I cut it off at 30. xcoffeex

I think you should cut it off at 37, it's only slightly more random.

You should consider that it's possible that jmufan saw that last week was a lakesbison started thread and something ridiculous like including a sub 25 ranking would be expected from lakes, but not for others to follow suit. It's just like in the real world. "Special needs" people are held to much lower standards than those that aren't mentally disadvantaged. When Lakes does something dumb and unnecessary, it's expected, understood, or ignored. There's no need for the rest of us to do the same things, though.
