Montana is 3-0 and ranked in the top-3 of FCS polls this season. Oregon State is 0-2 with double-digit losses to ranked Big 12 teams. Surely, this spread should be closer to 10 than 17.5, right? The Grizzlies boast FCS preseason All-American running back Eli Gillman, who has rushed for 328 yards and seven scores in three games in 2026. They also have preseason second team All-Americans QB Keali'i Ah Yat and WR Brooks Davis - quite the trio on offense. Montana is also 16-2 since the beginning of 2025 with both losses to rival Montana State last year. Top-5 FCS teams are 3-1 straight up vs. FBS teams this year. Watch out Beavers - this one will be close. Oregon State 34, Montana 27.
