Hard to pick against any of the top 8 seeds this week... Illinois State has a chance to make it interesting, but I just don't trust their offense enough after last week's showing to pick them outright. Also, they should have won by WAY more with picking up 8+ turnovers.

#15 Abilene Christian @ #2 North Dakota State This is the most interesting game on the slate to me. NDSU should win, but will this be the closest game among the 3 home games?
#14 Montana @ #3 South Dakota State In the point-chasing POV, I was looking at this as a potential pick where maybe Montana has a path - remember the "XDSU's and Montana's" are all lumped together as the true elites. But geesh - nope. Blowout.
#13 Tarleton State @ #4 South Dakota
#12 Illinois State @ #5 UC Davis It could happen, and I need to find some points the rest of you don't have. If the Yotes win, it would be more fun to have UCD in the dome than Ill St.

Ah. Gotcha. There has to be an upset in there someplace. I actually think, point spread aside, that NDSU has the most risk. They are a BAD team against the pass and ACU has a very good QB and receivers. I will be watching from my 6th row premium seats that a got for $40 a piece and watching it unfold.

I just wish some of these games were spread out a little more.
