Game of the Week - Week 4

[89Hen]

Not sure this will be close, but I want to try to do it every week.

There are actually quite a few great games this weekend.

[93henfan]

It ain't rocket science.

SoCon vs CAA

1. App St @ JMU
2. Delaware @ Furman

[TexasTerror]

I'd vote for OTHER if the option were available...a sentimental pick. Nicholls State @ Memphis -- just happy to see the Colonels take the field this week. GEAUX COLONELS!

[OL FU]

For me no question, UD at FU. But for FCS I went with the rankings ASU @JMU:(

Even if that option were available you could not pick that game. Remember, NO I-A games. This is the I-AA game of the week. xpeacex

[89Hen]

South Dakota State at Northern Iowa is HUGE. This is already the third conference game for SDSU who is 2-0 in conference. IF they can win this game, they have the inside track to the auto. They play three OOC games after this, then @ Indiana State, Missouri State, Illinois State... their next real conference test won't be until November 15th at SIU (no offense ISU, MSU or ISU). xpeacex

[danefan]

I took UD Furman.

I think this game is a good measuring stick for UD. And I hope they win.

The JMU/App State game is obviously also a great game, I just have more interest in the UD/Furman game,

[Eaglesrus]

No question for me, either; Elon @ GSU, of course. But I voted for ASU @ JMU in this poll

[appfan2008]

as an obvious app fan the pick was easy but there are 3 other huge games in my opinion that on a normal week could be the game of the week...
sdsu/uni
elon/gsu
furman/del

[Ivytalk]

I voted ASU at JMU. Are there ticket scalpers in Harrisonburg?

[Rob Iola]

Flat out great week in FCS!

As a Valley fan, I agree.

[neersnbeers]

Close call. Fur burgers and UD will be good. But had to go with App vs JMU for obvious reasons. Also the NDSU game will affect the polls.

[UNIFanSince1983]

I went homer and voted for SDSU and UNI.

[JMU2K_DukeDawg]

A few on Ebay.

Yesterday there were a pack of 4 tickets, endzone seats, going for $250 total w/ 5 hours left. Didn't see the final bid though. EDIT: Final bid was 305.50.

Looks like $25 tickets are going for about $60-70. Less than an hour to get in on the tickets that are currently at $66 for two. That's a deal right now!

[IABison]

Obviously App State at JMU will be huge...

Equally huge for those of us in the MVFC is SDSU at UNI.

[McNeese75]

Flat out great week in FCS!

Not when your team is playing Idle U xcoolx

[introvertedGSUfan]

Obvious bias for Elon @ GSU for me, but there's no question that App @ JMU will be the biggest.

[lizrdgizrd]

I voted ASU/JMU but there are some real poll-changers this week.

FU - UD
SDSU - UNI
UC Davis - Montana
Elon - GSU

[89Hen]

Flat out great week in FCS!

Sure it is. You get to see all these other great games taking place. If MSU were playing, you'd be focused only on that game. xthumbsupx

[andy7171]

WAIT A TIC! The Blue Hens are playing a non CAA game AWAY!?!?!
<falls on the floor>



I voted for Appy-Dookies

[phoenix3]

I voted Elon v GSU because of the conference implications. App. v JMU and FU v Deleware are important from the big picture / rankings.

[89Hen]

WAIT A TIC! The Blue Hens are playing a non CAA game AWAY!?!?!
<falls on the floor>
Second one this year. xsmiley_wix

[RabidRabbit]

Second one this year. xsmiley_wix

xlolx xlolx Yeah YEAH! But first was Maryland! :p :p

Like the Twerps :D would EVER play at UD again! xrulesx

[GeauxLions94]

Appy State and Jimmy Madison should be No. 1. Also like SDSU at Northern Iowa and UC Davis-Montana.

[89Hen]

xlolx xlolx Yeah YEAH! But first was Maryland! :p :p

Like the Twerps :D would EVER play at UD again! xrulesx
Hey, the Hens are going out to visit your guys in the not too distant future. xthumbsupx

[Seven Would Be Nice]

I think Elon GSU is pretty big. First conference game, and the outcome of this game will really show where each team sits. The SoCon is going to be a blood bath this year.

[dbackjon]

Lot of great games:

UD-Furman
ASU-JMU
SDSU-UNI
SLO-NW
Elon-GSU
SFA-WIU

Even Albany-UNH will potentially affect the rankings

[appfan2008]

as long as there are no cancellations this week (shouldnt be) we will know a lot more about fcs than we learned last week!

[appfan2008]

a lot of love from the mvfc crowd for the sdsu/uni game...`

[Black Saturday]

Only 1 vote for New Hampshire as game of the week?xconfusedx

Must be the same one who voted New Hampshire #1 in the AGS poll? xlolx

[appmaj]

ASU--JMU
But a lot of great games!

[89Hen]

The homerism on these votes is always disappointing. xnonono2x

Why, does JMU/ASU surprise you as the leading candidate for GOW?

[89Hen]

Not at all. I voted for that one. It's the other ones that are disappointing. xpeacex

[Maroon&White]

Even Albany-UNH will potentially affect the rankings

UNH will drop after losing to Albany.

[appfan2008]

The homerism on these votes is always disappointing. xnonono2x

there are a few top games but most the others should have zero votes if you were truly voting for what is the game of the week

[Grizalltheway]

Is this an open poll or a referendum on ASU/JMU?xconfusedx

Half of the votes for the UD/FU game are from UD and FU fans. ALL of the votes for GSU/Elon are from GSU and Elon fans. All but one vote for UM/UCD were Griz or Aggie fans. Etc.... People can vote however they want, but it's easy to see that every week some people will simply vote for their team and there may as well not even be 9 other choices. It's clear that most people agree ASU/JMU is the game of the week, but I'm starting to wonder why I put these up every week. xpeacex

I think you've got to look at it from their perspective. UD/FU and EU/GSU are both good games that can really make waves in the FCS world. And if you also happen to be a fan of one of those teams it's going to make it an even bigger game for you.

I'd say about 6 or 7 of these games actually have some kind of bigger relevance than just for those teams playing in them. Which one means the most is open for debate.

[89Hen]

That's the point. I didn't think I needed to specify that we are voting on what people think is the NATIONAL game of the week. Not which game will you have the most interest in. xpeacex

[813Jag]

I'm excited for Southern vs. Open Date U. Maybe we'll pick up a W. xlolx

Like most people my eyes are on the ASU/JMU game. Any TV coverage?

[HI54UNI]

I went homer and voted for SDSU and UNI.

Me too but there are several great games this weekend. xthumbsupx

[hvsader]

...last time I voted I picked Randolph vs Coen, was pretty close to the GOTW. This week HC vs HU is going to light up the Charles

[ButlerGSU]

No question for me, either; Elon @ GSU, of course. But I voted for ASU @ JMU in this poll

Same here. I know JMU fans will be out for some revenge which should add to the atmosphere of a great game.

[stevdock]

I voted for UNI/SDSU mainly because we will know so much more about both of those teams. I think this is going to be even throughout the game where as the App/JMU game could be a blow out either way. Plus everyone knows that App and JMU will both be there in the end.

My thoughts exactly. Even fans of SDSU are wondering how good our team really is. SDSU @ UNI will go a long way to straightening out the top of the poll.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Both games should be close and exciting to watch. Leave the D at home, I want to see some barnburners!

[blackfordpu]

I went with ASU at JMU.

[GaSouthern]

I homered with Elon GSU

But the App State game will be HUGE!

[Skjellyfetti]

Just in the NE.

You can stream it on CN8.com or channelsurfing.net though.
