Like I thought.. all the mod's here have hidden agenda's and make up infractions against members whom they don't like. You're all a bunch of f u c king cowards. All you're doing is causing everyone to go over to CHAMPIONSHIPSUBDIVISION.COM and never come back to this pathetic site. It is truly amazing that so many immature cowards subjectively moderate this place without any accountability or repercussions for their actions. Go Fu - ck yourselves c u n-t stains!!!

My Power rankings this week:

1. Liberty - The reigning champion stays on top until beaten
2. Stony Brook - Undefeated in conference at 4-0
3. Gardner-Webb - Good, but must stay focused this week on the road
4. Charleston Southern - Must avoid a letdown on the road against a weaker opponent
5. VMI - Good, but struggling to find the win column
6. Coastal Carolina - A chance to pull an upset this week at home. Always tough for G-W.
7. Presbyterian - Struggling, but able to pull an upset if overlooked or underestimated.

This week's games...

Gardner-Webb 23
Coastal Carolina 16

Charleston Southern 24

Yeah, sorry guys... I usually make this thread, and I didn't this week.

I don't wanna give detailed predictions this week, don't want to stir the pot, but I have LU, CCU, and CSU winning.

[Schfourteenteen]

You crybaby.

1)Liberty - Now has too many Kool-Aid fans. Just wait till a loss. They'll disappear.
2)Stony Brook - Setting up nicely to see the championship
3)Gardner Webb - Get on the dance floor, it's time for the November Slide!
4)Coastal Carolina - The next 3 games will determine Bennett's future.
5)Chuck South - could end up at 4 with a CCU win.
6)VMI - Can always catch a team off guard with that option.
7)Presby - School President calls conference the "Big SAC." If they hire Bobby Bentley as the new AD they'll move up in my rankings.

LU hater in disguise? Location: Lynchburg,VA. I know everyone in Lynchburg hated LU when I went there. How about you?xpopcornx

[ToTheLeft]

No, he's an LU student. He's in two classes with me.

[jcmanson]

Bennett will be at Coastal next year even if they lose the rest of their games this year.

Gardner Webb 24 Coastal Carolina 21

Charleston Southern 14 Presbyterian 17 That's right, Presby breaks the streak

VMI 24 Liberty 38

If 14 is referring to me as a Koolaid fan, I will have it noted that I have been saying all along that there are 3 games left to play and who knows what will happen.

This is a very good team, but not yet nearly a great team. Next Year?

I'm not rooting against Liberty. Just saying a loss will make the koolaid disappear.

[knucklehead]

But we don't want to see Stupid Hose part 2.

Chuck South ain't losin' to the Hose.

Liberty's D has been stingy - giving up 45 points in 3 Big South games. If they keep Maypray from running back a punt or a kick, VMI shouldn't score more than 14 points. Of course, Liberty is likely to score 45+ against VMI's D.

Charleston Southern should be able to score enough points against PC to win this contest handily. Their QB is efficient enough that he will be able to effectively operate against the most porous D in the Big South. PC has held 1 team to less than 30 points [Chattanooga - 29 pts] and their O has scored more than 20 points only twice. Charleston Southern 36 PC 14 feels about right.

Gardner-Webb at Coastal Carolina is likely the game of the week in the Big South. In 3 Big South games, Coastal has lost 2 to Liberty and Stony Brook and have given up twice as many points on D as they have scored on O. Gardner-Webb's O has been very efficient until they coughed the ball up 4 times against Stony Brook. The Runnin' Bulldogs should win if they take care of the football. Should still be a close game - GW 24 - CC 20.

Go Runnin' Bulldogs!

Liberty definitely tough(er) at home..........VMI is missing two O-linemen (one other may be at 75%), our #2 FB, and our 2nd best LB. Yet, if VMI plays the way they played at UR, you never knowxnodx. Or, if VMI plays the way they did vs. Robert Morris, or the 4th period vs. SBU, CCU, or CSU, could be a bit ugly:(.

[jcmanson]

Liberty's D has been stingy - giving up 45 points in 3 Big South games.

It's even been more stingy than those numbers considering 21 of those 45 points have come late in the 4th quarter against our 3rd string D.

Liberty has allowed 14 first-half points in three league games (12 really, since two came when LU's long snapper snapped a ball out of the end zone for a safety).

By the way, is there any chance that play was intentional? I honestly wasn't watching, and haven't asked anyone else, but in that situation I could see taking a safety being a viable option.

[knucklehead]

Are you suggesting we did that on purpuse to give up 2 pts and put them back in worse field position than a punt would have? Maybe you are right, but that never occurred to me.

No, I don't think so. You really only take intentional safeties late in games with a big lead so you don't risk giving up a touchdown in that spot. Can't see him wanting to do that in the first half.

I could see the reasoning being... They aren't scoring with normal field position, so let's not risk giving them momentum going into the half by dropping the snap/allowing a block and simply giving two points to get a clean kick off.

I thought about it but in terms of, "Hey, we haven't had to deal with this before in a game. Let's get it out there and practice it."

I still think it was unintentional though.

Bennett will be at Coastal next year even if they lose the rest of their games this year.

yep thats what a 10 year 2 million dollar buyout gets u, we cant afford to fire him till 2012. then we only have to pay like 1 million. He screwed us BIG time. He wont ever get a job after us but he sure as heck will be able to retire xrolleyesx

The only way we'll have a chance to win is if we score more than 21 since that is the maximun amount of points we have scored all year. I think CSU is 21 points better than our D, so I'm not optimistic. I'm a homer though, so I always think its possible....

Liberty by 20
GWU by 14
PC by 3!!!

Coastal in an Upset Special over GW
