Last week the big news was the upset of Wofford College by Furman at Furman. Everything else went pretty much according to plan. Another note worth mentioning was the big win of Sam Houston State over McNeese St. That clears the way for Sam Houston State to win that division and enter into the FCS Top 10 in some polls.
Week 9:
There are two amazing games this week.
Georgia Southern vs. Appy State.
- This game is huge and how exactly will it look. Appy has revamped their offense by benching DeAndre Presley. Well that was until they needed him to play cornerback. He had 6 tackles and a forced fumble. He may have actually helped himself in the NFL draft. Georgia Southern has run over everyone, and Appy is vulnerable to the run. So we will see what happens.
Northern Iowa vs. North Dakota State
- This is a great match up of #2 vs.#4 (or sometimes #3). The MVC is on the line and North Dakota State avoided their trap game with rival South Dakota State last week. This is big time, and I am jazzed up. Both should still make the playoffs, but this is a colossal match up. Edge to NDST because they are at home.
James Madison vs. Old Dominion
- This is another Top 10 match up in most polls. It should be a nice slug fest, but thanks to other game trip ups, this is not for the CAA title. In fact, there are so many other good CAA teams that a loss here could be dangerous.
Townsen hosts Delaware to stay perfect in the CAA and Maine goes to Villanova.
Montana St hosts Idaho St and Montana hosts Weber St. Leigh also plays a very winnable game at home.
Enjoy what may be the best weekend of college football action all year.
