Expecting lots of Movement in this weeks poll (A top 10 Pick em)

[Milktruck74]

Looking at the games this week in the top 10, I expect 2, maybe even 3 upsets (using that term liberally). Not necessarily upsets, but the higher seeded team will lose. 8-10 (UR, McNeese, EWU) are pretty well locked up, but 1-7 all better bring their A-Game.

1. ISUr vs ISUb - Redbirds should take this one easily, but....ISUb is hungry and capable. It's in Normal, so advantage Red.
2. Jax St vs EKU - Where did the Colonels come from, this is going to be a heck of a game, but again it is down south....the Colonel can't fry these Chickens this week.
3. CCU @ Chuck South - Tired of being second fiddle for so long, CSU uses the chip on their shoulders and hands the yardbirds their first loss.
4. UTC vs WCU - This one makes me nervous, but the Mocs are due for a breakout game. I only hope Troy Mitchell tries to talk smack in pregame like last year... 51-0??
5. PSU vs Montana - PSU...This ain't you daddy's Griz...I fully expect the Viks to impress all 700 in attendance today, but it could be a trap.
6. NDSU @ SoIll - Who know what Bison show up??? Just because I need to pick one wrong and Piss off the Bison Fans....Salukis figure out how to win the close one!!!!
7. JMU @ WM - JMU takes this week to figure things out without Vad, unfortunately WM has it figured out already...the Tribe makes this one look worse than it is.

No explaination necessary on the next three

8. Richmond vs Albany
9. McNeese @ ACU
10. EWU vs Weber St

Don't be shocked by an Eagle loss in the rain (and 26 mph winds), however I don't think Weber can keep up.

With weather like that, Kupp has an awful game....only 7 catches for 100 yards and ONLY one TD!!!!! Can the Eagles find a ground game? Or can you only toss the ball on the red turf?

Like the top 10 pick 'em idea. Agree with all the picks except SIU taking down the NDSU Bison. Although SIU has the talent to beat the Bison, if NDSU wants to stay in the race for the Valley crown they know that they absolutely NEED this roadie win in Carbondale.

Definitely the pick I wrestled with the most. I didn't really have a strong gut either way, so I just went with the dog..... Heart over head, and the heart is always with the Underdog (It must come from being a Moc Fan for the last 20+ years).

There will probably be at least a couple thousand Griz fans at that one. A little rain never hurt anyone.

3. CCU @ Chuck South - We (The Dogs) certainly hope so, but could go either way
4. UTC vs WCU - Probably
5. PSU vs Montana - Not certain of this at all but me thinks, no

7. JMU @ WM - Likely

CSU at best has been 3rd fiddle, 4th when SBU was in the conference. They do have the opportunity to take a big step today which should cement their #1 status in the conference this year. Hopefully we don't let that happen.

I thought SIU might have figured out how to win the close one last week when they beat YSU in OT.

I surprised myself on this one. Even though I was wrong on NDSU, SIU played well. 9-1 ain't too shabby.
