Waiting on the polls

While the polls have not been updated yet, we can be sure that Delaware is going to be number 1 after mopping up the stadium with UMass at UMass. William and Mary put and end to the debate after losing to James Madison, and Appy State will probably be two after humiliating Wofford. Wofford has a chance to make the playoffs if they can win next week against Chattanooga.

Eastern Washington might be number 3 as they won at home against Southern Utah. They win next week and the automatic bid from the Big Sky is theirs.

Liberty was a surprise loser throwing the Big South into question as Stony Brook is now in the lead. Liberty has one loss and it is to Coastal Carolina, who has only one conference loss.

Penn beat Harvard to basically win the Ivy League title.

Bethune-Cookman remained undefeated overall and in conference (MEAC), but a couple of teams boast only one loss, so it is not theirs yet.

Northern Iowa won the Missouri Valley Conference with a win over Missouir State. They will make the playoffs, but are probably looking at a tough first round game.

Robert Morris lost this week surprisingly, but they already had the conference title for the NEC.

Jacksonville State played the game of the week against SE Missouir State. With four minutes left SE Missouri took a lead with a touchdown, but then with 11 seconds left Jacksonville State responded with a game winning touchdown. Wow. Both teams ought to make the playoffs, but if Jacksonville State wins next week, they win the automatic bid from the Ohio Valley Conference.

Lehigh won the Patriot crown, and Jacksonvile University has had the Pioneer title sown up for some time. They are 10-1 overall now, and it will be interesting to see them against some stiffer competition.

Appalachin State beat down Wofford to take the Southern Conference automatic bid. Wofford still has to play Chattanooga, but if they win they ought to make the post season as well.

SF Austin won to remain in the driver seat for the Southland title. Win and they are in. McNeese State won as well to keep pressure up, but the head to head loss puts Austin's destiny in their own hands.

In the second best game last week Grambling lost the SWAC title to Texas Southern in overtime. Grambling does not participate in the post season anyway, so Texas Southern was probably going to the Post Season. They ought to go now. Grambing will now wait for the big game against Southern.
