Ten Best Games - Week 10

[TypicalTribe]

Honorable mention:

NC Central at Bethune - The MEAC tiebreakers start this Saturday; can BCC bounce back?
Sacred Heart at Wagner - Last two NEC champs battle on Staten Island; Seahawks want their title back; Pioneers keep it with 3 Ws
Coastal Carolina at Gardner-Webb - The unbeaten quest continues; Chants shouldn't struggle here, right? Right?
Harvard at Dartmouth - great matchup in Hanover that will likely decide the Ivy League title; huzzah!
Sacramento State at Montana - Grizzlies need to stabilize their season at home against a dangerous Hornets squad

10. Liberty at Presbyterian - game of the day in the Big South; can the Hose douse the Flames playoff chances?
9. Missouri State at Indiana State - Bears trying to stay alive but Sycs seem to have righted the ship
8. Albany at New Hampshire - not many people giving the Danes a shot; can they show they deserve their 6-2 record?
7. William & Mary at JMU - Winner will have one eye on the playoffs; loser will need to win out and hope; usually a good battle
6. SF Austin v Sam Houston (in Houston) - Can Lumberjacks back up the big win over SELA? Don't expect the Bearkats to roll over
5. Montana State at Cal Poly - Can Mustangs complete the Treasure State sweep? Bobcats looking for a signature road win
4. Chatty at Western Carolina - Game of the year in the SoCon; can the dream season continue in Cullowhee? Mocs hope not
3. SDSU at NDSU - game took a hit with the Rabbits loss last week, but the Marker could still be a doozy
2. Illinois State at Northern Iowa - game of the day in the MVFC as the Redbirds try to stay unbeaten on the road against everyone's favorite .500 team. Panthers can keep playoff hopes alive with a win; might be more motivation than playing for a #2 seed
1. Villanova at Richmond - only game between two likely playoff teams with the favorite on the road. Sets up as an interesting battle tainted only by the absence of Spider QB Strauss. Can the Arachnids D slow down John Robertson enough to give the O a chance?

Again...

JMU Sports posted a cool history of the rivalry, JMU's oldest at 36 installments (20-16 JMU all-time).

I looked through the results and it was interesting:

JMU has 10 trips to the playoffs. Their regular season record against William & Mary those years = 9-1! (with the loss avenged in the playoffs so essentialy we beat them every year we made the dance) While William & Mary in 8 playoff trips is just 5-3 against JMU. Who needs this one more? Clearly the Dukes otherwise we already know we are staying home thanks to a history lesson...

[AmsterBison]

Wow! Great line-up this week.

[knucklehead]

Another great FCS week

[tomq04]

Montana State v Cal Poly should be awesome.

[Sitting Bull]

Nice work, Typical!

It helps to see the important games in all conferences. The MV seems to have 2 to 3 top games every week. Great league this year.

Given the possible winner-take-all look of the Southern this year, I really like the Chatty/WCU game.

[catamount man]

2PM cannot get here quick enough! GO CATS!

Also, Colgate at Fordham would have been a good add on here. This one may decide the Patriot Champion.
