Look ahead at week 7

There are some big games out there this week.

Montana State (10) at Northern Arizona
Montana State is a top rated team, but they are on the road and Northern Arizona is no push over. They are just outside the Top 25 in the coaches poll. A nice road challenge for Montana State.

McNeese State at LSU
Hey, it is one of the final shots at adding to the FCS upset list. McNeese St. is not going to be great this year, so this is their Super Bowl. LSU has a habit of playing down to its opponents, but they always manage to pull it out in the end.

New Hampshire (15) at James Madison (6)
This is the Game of the Week in my opinion. In fact, James Madison might be playing in the game of the week for the next several weeks. The incredibly tough CAA conference is starting to weed itself out. JMU has already one loss in conference, and cannot afford to lose again. A HUGE game for both teams.

Bethune-Cookman at South Carolina State (9)
This is the FCSNow Game of the Week, but I think that South Carolina State will roll. Bethune-Cookman is lurking outside of the Top 25 and a win here would put them in. In fact, Bethune-Cookman is undefeted, but their opponents have not been SC St. calibur. It is in South Carolina, so I am not sure this will stay close.

Villanova (7)at Maine
I think this game is interesting because both of these teams are reeling. Maine had higher hopes, but they have not come to fruition. Villanova was off last week after their season took a giant hit. They are still ranked rather high, but they have been knocked off the Number 1 slot, and have yet to get back in the win column. Can they get up and make a run at the CAA title? This game should say a lot since it is on the road.

Appy ought to have an easy time of it this week, so don't expect anything big to go down. Still, some real nice games.
