Game of the Week - Week 5

[89Hen]

What is the I-AA game of the week for week five?

[Bam]

EKU v EIU

[crusader11]

Furman vs. Elon

[bullseye44]

Is there really any question on this one, with #2 playing #5?

[crusader11]

Check that, Nova vs. W and M...my bad. This shouldn't be a question.

[89Hen]

Damn poll won't let you edit. I was supposed to have Elon at Furman in there in place of the UTM-JSU game.xmadx

[wideright82]

I think this is a no brainer.....

[mcveyrl]

I think this is a no brainer.....

Agreed, but the SDSU-Cal Poly game will also be one to watch.

[BisonBacker]

This is a no brainer

[Jacks02]

SDSU vs. Cal Poly may not be the top matchup rankings-wise, but probably has the biggest implications for the playoffs. Cal Poly can't afford another loss considering they still have a DII team on the schedule and have no Great West auto-bid, and SDSU finally gets a chance to prove that their first 3 wins weren't just flukes over weak teams.

This will be the best offense the Jacks have gone up against this year, finally a test to see if the defense is as good as the numbers show.

[OL FU]

Damn poll won't let you edit. I was supposed to have Elon at Furman in there in place of the UTM-JSU game.xmadx

Yep FU and Elon should have been on there but it wouldn't have changed my votexthumbsupx Probably the easiest week to pick so far. xnodx

[89Hen]

Eastern Kentucky at Eastern Illinois - UNH_Alum_In_CT

really? xeyebrowx

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

Brain cramp/wrist twitch -- voted for EKU-EIU instead of Nova-W&M. xoopsx xoopsx xoopsx xoopsx xoopsx xoopsx :o :o :o :o :o :o

At least I picked an important game, maybe for the OVC AQ? :p :p :p

xsmhx xsmhx xsmhx xsmhx xsmhx

[Thumper 76]

WM and Nove def game of the week, knew everyone would vote for it so i voted SDSU@Poly to give it a vote :p

[Ivytalk]

Is there really any question on this one, with #2 playing #5?

Seems like a no-brainer to me!xnodx

[DOME]

I wanted to vote UNI-Indiana St. but it wasn't there so I went with the two top ten teams!

SIU WIU should be a solid game as well though.

[EmeryZach]

easiest pick all year.

[Woof]

I'm going with the Bill & Mary game, too....Also, IMHO, the Wofford v. GSU should not even be on the list this year. xthumbsdownx

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

Eastern Kentucky at Eastern Illinois - UNH_Alum_In_CT

really? xeyebrowx

See the post below yours and the time stamps. ;) I couldn't type it fast enough! :p xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

xoopsx xoopsx xoopsx xoopsx xoopsx xoopsx xoopsx xoopsx xoopsx xoopsx

[phoenixphanatic21]

Well, since Elon-Furman isn't there for me to give my homer vote to, I guess I have to vote for the actual best game this week, William & Mary at Villanova.

[GrizFanStuckInUtah]

I voted for Mt St vs Weber, but only because I am going to try and go to it. I think the W&M vs Nova would be a good one to watch if I could.

[McNeese75]

And we don't want to hear any of this East Coast Bias BS that the loser should not drop in the poll xlolx

[LacesOut]

South Dakota State at Cal Poly.

[Buzzcut]

W&M v. Nova - man I wish the OVC had matchups like this every week! IMO, whoever losses this one may have a tough time recovering ground. Then again, better to lose one like this early rather than late.

As good as the Tribe is playing right now, I'm taking them by 3. xpeacex

[Native]

Agreed, but the SDSU-Cal Poly game will also be one to watch.

Yup! I wanted to vote for two games.

I ended up voting for the Cal Poly-SDSU game because the result will more seriously damage the loser's hopes for an at-large bid.

[19Duke97]

This was an easy call - we'll find out who is for real. W&M vs Vu

[Native]

They are both for real and they will both make the playoffs.

[bullseye44]

You can watch it...if you get Versus. First ever nationally televised CAA game.

[Silenoz]

[Skjellyfetti]

I voted WM-VU and probably still would have... but, Elon-Furman should be an option.

[grizband]

What, no love for Montana @ BYE? Don't say the Griz never travel away to tough games, this one should be a battle.


xthumbsupx

Seriously, though, hard not to vote Villanova vs William & Mary this week.

[GrizFanStuckInUtah]

I don't get Versus xsmhx I really prefer to watch a game live, nothing like being there. xthumbsupx

[Benne]

I had to homer this one. Time to find out if the D is real.

[technocat]

I had to throw the homer vote as well. Game could very well decide the structure of power in the Big Sky this year. Lots of pressure on both teams to go out and perform. I see us wanting to get a little revenge for the schelacking they gave us in the blizzard last year...

[WestCoastAggie]

NCCU vs. NCA&TSU
It may not be a game that has playoff implication or rankings at risk but it will be one knock out, drag out, bloody rivalry game between two North Carolina HBCU's. It's no NOVA/W&M but there will be blood before, during and after the game.

Expect a close game with a couple of fights on the field & in the stands. xcoffeex

[SCPALADIN]

Furman vs. Elon

write in vote

[appmaj]

2 v 5

[19Duke97]

Call me a skeptic, but I am still not 100% sold on W&M - they have been pretty weak the past few years. Villanova is better than UVA in my opinion, adn this will be a tough test for the Tribe.

xthumbsupx As I said a week or 2 ago, we'll be lucky to win another game all year.

How was JMU in 2001 - 2003?

[Native]

Lots of great games over the next few weeks!

We are getting to the meat and potatoes part of the season.

[tribefootballfan]

great ? how was JMU from 2000-2003??

[yorkcountyUNHfan]

Eastern Kentucky at Eastern Illinois - UNH_Alum_In_CT

[DSUrocks07]

stacked poll xlolx

[19Duke97]

How was JMU in 2001 - 2003?

I said not 100% sold -- this weekend should say a lot. I'm not saying they are not back, just reserving opinion at least one more week.

[elcid83]

I would have added GW at VMI to the list of choices. Should be a really good game that actually means something.

Go Runnin' Bulldogs!

[darell1976]

I have to pick the border battle. The battle of Dakota. Whoever wins between the Dakota's will have sole posession of first place for the first time ever in the GWFC!!! Its Homecoming for UND and after 3 straight road games its more like a coming home game. Sioux-Coyotes....it will be a great game, soldout crowd, tailgating at the Alerus Center, it doesn't get any better than this. GO SIOUX!!!!!!!

[mtgrizfan4life]

Which of these games, if any will be broadcast on regional sports networks or free internet? I am already aware of bigskytv.org.

Thank you

[FurmanPaladins4138]

I feel like Furman vs. Elon should be on here

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Wow...another tough choice...xlolxxlolx

[kdinva]

I hope there is 12,000 plus there in Philly........if I recall, last year's game with UR (on TV) had only 7,000 or so, not a "hostile" atmosphere, I recall.

That was an under reported figure and it was just a gloomy day.. that was one of the better student sections we've had since i've been at Nova (we rushed the field). There's definitely more buzz around the team this year and it's showing so far given we're averaging about 10,000 (conservative) a game so far and neither have been bright sunny days. Add to the fact that the game is going to be on some kind of TV and you might get a bigger crowd. If not, oh well.. Hopefully the band will show up.

[GrizFanStuckInUtah]

All I know is I picked a hell of a game to go and watch! xthumbsupx The MSU vs WSU was a very competitive and entertaining game. It was a sea-saw battle all day with both teams making mistakes and playing tough ball. You couldn't ask for a better day to go watch some football either. That one came down to the wire with MSU making about one more play than WSU.

It was nice to meet Native as well and shoot the breeze. xnodx
