Week 7

With South Carolina State and Tennessee Martin having important conference victories already under their belt this week, let us see what Week 7 has to offer.

Harvard and Yale are both undefeated and headed for an Ivy League showdown at the end of the year.  Hopefully they both can passes this week, as they ought. 

The Southern Conference had everything work out like they wanted last week.  Wofford hosts Elon as it gets back to its Conference schedule with Elon.  Wofford needs to keep winning as does Stamford, who takes on App State. 

NDSU should have a fairly easy week as does Youngstown St.  SDSU tries to right the ship at Western Illinois, and Northern Iowa must rebound from its beating by NDSU hosting Southern Illinois. 

The OVC gets a game of the week look with Jacksonville State hosting Tennessee State.  Both teams looking for an OVC title.  Both teams 5-1 on the season.  This will be a good game. 

Montana travels to UC Davis, and with one conference loss already Montana cannot afford another, especially to unbeaten in Conference UC Davis. 

The other game of the week look comes from the CAA where Towson hosts Villanova.  A big test for Towson, but they have National title hopes there.  Keep an eye on the scoreboard for this one. 

The Southland is waiting for next week as Sam Houston State should have no problem with Lamar.  McNeese State is waiting in the wings, and they have the off week to prepare. 


Conferences are heating up.  A good week!

Week 6

Week 6 follows a great week 5.  

Last week NDSU proved they were the best by shutting out SDSU.  However, Towson won too and is starting to look like the best competition for the champs, but do not forget Sam Houston State who took down Eastern Washington.  

This week we get some great games.

You might as well start with a battle of unbeatens when Lehigh takes on Fordham.  This game has playoff implications.

The So Con needs Wofford to get back to its winning ways as it hosts Presbyterian, but the Elon versus Furman game could be just as important.  Furman is undefeated in the conference and the So Con needs another one of those.  Of course Samford could beat Georgia Southern, that would take of it as well.  

The OVC sees Jacksonville St travel to Tenn-Martin.  This should be a great game.  Jacksonville State needs to win to stay in the postseason hunt, and Tenn-Martin needs it to keep pace for a conference title.  

The CAA features Delaware versus Maine.  Both teams are undefeated in conference and 4 and 1 overall with the lone losses coming to FBS teams.  Both teams may make the playoffs, but if they wish to win the conference they need this game to stay with Towson, who should be New Hampshire today, but it won't be a cake walk.

The Missouri Valley continues to have hugely important games.  Youngstown St marches on toward the postseason going to Indiana State, who is 1-0 in conference.  But the bigger game is Northern Iowa going to NDSU.  Two undefeated teams facing off.  Both teams beat FBS teams this year.  It is in the Fargo Dome, so I expect them to win, but this is a game to watch.

The MEAC has a big game with the surprising N Carolina A&T going to traditional power S Carolina St.  A&T has proved itself all year, but defeating S Carolina St. would be an important conference road victory and a symbolic statement to the MEAC.

The Pioneer has an automatic bid this year and it very well may go to the winner of the Mercer at San Diego game.  Mercer is undefeated and San Diego the preseason favorite who has played a much tougher schedule.  

The Southland is also full of good teams this year and even though McNeese St fell from the ranks of the unbeaten they are still in line for a post season shot if they do not continue to fall.  Central Arkansas is a good team, and McNeese needs  to win today to keep hope alive.  They have not yet taken on Sam Houston St., so this is a big game for both teams.

The Big Sky is built on huge games and Montana State hosts Northern Arizona.  Both teams are undefeated in conference, but you cannot lose home games and hope to win the Big Sky.  Montana State has to reassert itself here in this game.  

Those are just a few of the big games this week.  Enjoy!
