10(a). Lamar at McNeese - Any hope at all for the winner? Just maybe, if there's another week of chaos; not likely, though
10(b). NW State at SFA - Two teams hoping to stay playoff relevant; biggest impact might be on an SLC tiebreaker, though

9. Fordham at Army - Not a great matchup but interesting for the stakes; i.e. Fordham playing for a likely seed with a win

8(b). Villanova vs. Delaware - Battle of the Blue a big one for 'Nova; a loss means no seed and possibly a road trip in round one
8(a). New Hampshire at Maine - UNH looking for the Brice-Cowell Musket as well as a top 2 seed; Maine looking for revenge

7. Yale at Harvard - One of the great final week Ivy games in recent decades; Can the Elis spoil the perfect season and be co-champs?

6(b). Wagner at Bryant - Bryant's last chance to make their case against a dangerous Seahawks team
6(a). Colgate at Bucknell - same story, different conference; Bison need a convincing win to make their last statement

5. Central Arkansas at SHSU - Bearkats in with a win (SLC auto or not); Bears still might have a shot if bubble includes 7-5 teams

4(b). Indiana State at Western Illinois - Sycs so close to a playoff berth they can taste it; however, a dangerous road test awaits
4(a). Youngstown State at ND State - Penguins in same spot as last year; except on the road against the 3-time champs; yikes

3. Liberty at Coastal Carolina - Lot more motivation for Liberty; could be very interesting; especially for the rest of the bubble

2. Montana State at Montana - Brawl of the Wild should decide how many BSC teams make the playoff field; Grizzlies hope it's 3

1. Richmond at William & Mary - Quite fittingly, the last game of the night and the simplest. Winner of the Commonwealth Cup gets in.

Should be a lot of fun

Can't argue against your list at all, but MVFC games are all playoff games this week. At least 4 out of 5 are.

YSU vs NDSU - YSU wins they are in, lose and out. NDSU wins and should be a top 2 seed, lose and who knows
Indy St vs WIU - Indy st same
UNI vs MSU - UNI same thing and could sneak into a seed.
SDSU vs USD - same for SDSU
Ill St vs SIU - Ill St wins and locks up a top 5 seed (I think), lose and who knows how far they drop

Friday night is EWU against a floundering Portland state team. If a ewu wins they are getting a big sky championship (possibly shared with montana state) and a seed into the playoffs.

On paper it should be a blowout, but the "Dam Cup" has been the top 2 exciting games the past 3 years. Worth tuning in if you have nothing else to watch Friday.

You forgot that the trophy is now known as The Capital Cup. UVA and Tech play for the Commonwealth Cup.
