UNH @ McNeese St.

Weber St. @ W&M

Elon @ UR

Can we go 4-0? xeekx we are the CAA after all....xnodx

[sharkeycox]

McNeese over UNH

William and Mary over Weber

Elon upsets UR

Nova beats Holy Crossxthumbsupx

[bostonspider]

I think all the home teams win

McNeese
W&M
UR
Villanova

[WrenFGun]

UNH is like the bastard son of the CAA. Even the CAA South won't pick them to win.

Elon @ UR

Holy Cross @ Nova

[spdram]

I pick a CAA sweep the first week. I am concerned about UNH having to make the long trip, but they have shown more than capable in the past and believe they will again.

Good Luck CAA!

Here goes:

UR by 17

Exactly. A CAA sweep. Any other team besides UNH traveling would give me pause, but that doesn't bother them.

Yeah...what he said. New Hampshire to travel and win. xnodxxnodx

If there's an upset its Holy Cross over nova. The Penn posters feel they'd win the rematch vs nova if the Ivy's were in the playoffs. Holy Cross has a better QB.;)

[Tod]

UNH @ McNeese St.

Weber St. @ W&M

Elon @ UR

Holy Cross @ Nova

I'll second this. Weber would certainly be an upset, but I'm hoping that they show up with their A-game.

[CAAisBOSS]

I'll second this. Weber would certainly be an upset, but I'm hoping that they show up with their A-game.

Their "A" game wouldnt beat the Tribe's "A" game.

Yessir. Go ahead and overlook us and look towards the rematch vs. UNH, but we are no push-over!

[bluehenbillk]

W&M wins big.

'Nova wins big.

UR wins in a squeaker.

UNH falls to McNeese

[grizzpaw]

holy cross vs nova - mr crusader, i've seen holy cross and i've seen nova (both on tv & net) and sir hc is no nova! nova rests its starters in the 3rd quarter, nova by 28xnodx!

elon vs ur - if elon shows up its going to be a good game but in the end richmond is too strongxpeacex.

unh vs mcneese - this is going to to be a very good gamexthumbsupx! last team who has the ball winsxcoolx. i'm going with mcneese:).

weber state vs william & mary - best game of the four. weber shows up and up sets the tribe with a special teams playxthumbsupxxcoolx

[wideright82]

Yessir. Go ahead and overlook us and look towards the rematch vs. UNH, but we are no push-over!

You guys literally JUST lost to Bucknell. Apparently push over is too powerful a word.


That being said


UNH loses by 4 in a heartbreaker (28 - 24)

W&M beats Weber by 7 regardless of how "prolific" their offense is... (34 - 27)

Villanova beats Holy Cross in a very uninteresting game (45 - 14)

Richmond gets surprised by Elon but wins close in the end (21-20)

[JMUNJ08]

UNH @ McNeese St.

At least your prediction is realistic and not the "it will be a moral victory if Weber is within 17 points"...which could also happen.

[wideright82]

that's what happens when I don't read xlolx

[GoneTribal]

I'll give it a shot.

UNH 24 McNeese 17 - UNH is a strong team and doesn't let travel get in their way
Weber 17 W&M 34 - Tribe offense keeps Weber off the field with ball control, and Tribe D plays usual game to give Weber O fits. (Could be 34 - 24 is Tribe special teams kicks to Toone all day).
Holy Cross 10 Villanova 38 - Nova is just plain fantastic.
Elon 14 Richmond 28 - Richmond has squeeked by in a few this year, but it's playoff time, they are experienced, and they are damn good. Too much for Elon to overcome.

bias.....what bias? xsmiley_wix:p

[wideright82]

At least your prediction is realistic and not the "it will be a moral victory if Weber is within 17 points"...which could also happen.

I can just as easilly see Weber winning it. W&M had a tough time getting in the endzone against teams this year and beat them with their defense. My score prediction, in hind sight, may be a bit over zealous and homerish. However, I didn't see Weber being held to under 20. Could just as easilly be 24-17 W&M or 34 - 24 weber.




My ridiculous predictions regarding this game can be found on a different site. xlolx

[WrenFGun]

that's what happens when I don't read xlolx

See! IN a CAA THREAD, the current results are McNeese State 8, UNH 4. WHERE IS THE LOVE? Is McNeese State's 3 point win over Henderson State after being down by 18 what's selling you? The 1 point win over SELA? 4 over UCA? Maybe it's the 3 point win over Texas State?

I think the teams are very equal but for all the ECB and CAA Bias, WHERE IS IT?

[WrenFGun]

I'll give it a shot.

UNH 27 McNeese 17
Weber 17 W&M 34
Holy Cross 10 Villanova 38
Elon 14 Richmond 28

Here's my thing. It was between you and W&M for the first round loss. I don't see the CAA going 4-0 (could happen though). I have been in such a pissing match with Big Sky'ers over the past week with their "prolific" offense bull, as if they are the Colts, that I can't bring myself to pick them. Therefore I am left with you guys. Also, let's not forget your loss to UMass, close win at St Fran, squeaking by Maine, giving up over 40 to URI, and your fluke win against Nova (that is the only reason I have you guys close, FWIW) xthumbsupx




I also have bones to pick with McNeese as well as UNH. Both teams I would like a shot at this year. xrulesx

[wideright82]

And here I would think you'd want a shot at UNH again this year, since we gave you your only loss this year. I'd certainly like to see if it was a "fluke" myself. At this point in the season, certainly seems like it.

[appstate38]

I say Black Saturday for the CAA!!!! All 4 team lose and we have about 15 threads trying to explain why they lost and about 10 more trying to still carry the banner that the CAA is still the best conference in the FCS!:D;):D;)



xprayxxprayxxprayxxprayxxprayxxprayxxprayx

Realistically the CAA probably goes 3-1 but with a shot at 4-0. The UNH/McNeese and Elon/UR games could be very good.

[JMUNJ08]

UNH @ McNeese St.

UNH fans feel disrepected as always. Going on the road to an equally tough opponent after a great season. Geography and attendance have a lot to do with that. UNH can grind out games with you or beat you 50-49. But that is because of a Jeckyl and Hyde team where the offense and defense sometimes show up or don't. McNeese St. beat ASU but then squeaked by a D2. They were an AL out of the Southland and an equally dangerous team. Playing at home is a big help and that is why I'm picking UNH. xeekx Ask UNI, you don't want to play them in the playoffs.... UNH 31 - McNeese St. 27

Weber St. @ W&M

Weber just got to 7 wins and in the big dance. W&M was a near lock for 2 or 3 weeks when they still had 2 games against top 10's to go. While weber has won 2 straight after losing big to Montana, they have to travel accross country to a great venue in Williamsburg. The tribe will be rocking for their first home game since the '04 semi final loss to JMU. Their defense is stellar having shut down UVA, UNH, and UR just last weekend for 18 yards rushing. Weber has a big O but the BSC isn't known for their 'D'. W&M with Grimes and Archer should put up enough to signify ECB. Weber St. 23 - W&M 31

Elon @ UR

Will the real Elon stand up? ASU took them out of the game early but they rebounded against Samford to get in safely during the last week unlike past Elon collapses. Their reward? The defending champs. UR doesn't really have a home field advantage but play great every weekend. They can score enough points to win and don't allow opponents to score at all. If not for a last second FG, they would be undefeated overall. Elon will have their hands full but their stars will shine. However 3rd Team All CAA QB Ward (really? 3rd?) will guide UR to the victory where a FG attempt won't decide the game. Elon 17 - UR 27

Holy Cross @ Nova

A loss to Bucknell and now we get #2 Nova? Sounds like trouble for HC. Nova has only won a handful of games pretty this year as style points are not their MO. However, they are on a roll right now with wins over UR & UD to end the regular season. HC may have been the class of the PL minus last week but Nova was the class of the CAA this year. CAA > PL in all aspects. Holy Cross 14 - Nova 40

Don't like picking all 4 teams but I can't really see any losingxrotatehx

Only Nova is the sure thing as the rest have their hands full to get the job done. Lets get it done CAA!!! East Coast Bias!!! xbeerchugxxpopcornx

[biggie]

I'll got with a crazy 1-3 for CAA, only 'Nova winning.

[wideright82]

And here I would think you'd want a shot at UNH again this year, since we gave you your only loss this year. I'd certainly like to see if it was a "fluke" myself. At this point in the season, certainly seems like it.

I apologize. My intent was to mean I have bones to pick with both of you, so I'm cool with either coming through if we win.

[wideright82]

I'll got with a crazy 1-3 for CAA, only 'Nova winning.

I don't think that is crazy at all. the other 3 teams have some teams on their hands. Hell Nova COULD slip up, but that just seems crazy to me.

[WrenFGun]

I apologize. My intent was to mean I have bones to pick with both of you, so I'm cool with either coming through if we win.

It was in jest and honest, Wideright. I think it may very well have been a fluke. UNH hasn't looked that good in any game since.

[NHwildEcat]

We'll see UNH in Worcester.

We will see Holy Cross in Durham.

[wideright82]

It was in jest and honest, Wideright. I think it may very well have been a fluke. UNH hasn't looked that good in any game since.

UNH has always scared me. They seem to play their southern Wildcats tough every single time. xbangx Look forward to playing you guys at home though this time, so win would ya?xlolx

[wideright82]

We will see Holy Cross in Durham.

You guys have a home game scheduled against them in the future, or something? xlolx

[NHwildEcat]

You guys have a home game scheduled against them in the future, or something? xlolx

No...the more likely matchup will be UNH traveling to 'Nova the first weekend in December, I just don't want to drive to Worcester. xcoolx

[Franks Tanks]

You guys have a home game scheduled against them in the future, or something? xlolx

Holy Cross is a bit unconventional and I think they will push Nova. However I fully expect a Nova victory.

It is a shame as I think Holy Cross could beat several teams in the field, but Nova isnt one of them most likley.

[McNeese72]

Is McNeese State's 3 point win over Henderson State after being down by 18 what's selling you?

That was a long, long time ago and in a universe, far, far away.

There were a lot of reasons for the problems in that game. First game of the season, breaking in a lot of new starters on the OL, a double digit injury list (there something like 6 starters on defense who couldn't play), and a coach at Henderson St. that was an assistant coach at McNeese a year or two before who knew us like a well read book.

We got a lot of the injured plays back for the App. St. game and look what happened there.

[Tribe4SF]

UR over Elon 28-21

Nova over Holy Cross 41-10

Playing at home is a big help and that is why I'm picking UNH. xeekx Ask UNI, you don't want to play them in the playoffs.... UNH 31 - McNeese St. 27



I think you have the sequence of the games backwards. A lot of reasons for the HSU game problems. See my previous post.

Doc

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

No...the more likely matchup will be UNH traveling to 'Nova the first weekend in December, I just don't want to drive to Worcester. xcoolx

But you'll have to drive through Worcester on your way to Villanova. xsmiley_wix :D :D

[NHwildEcat]

But you'll have to drive through Worcester on your way to Villanova. xsmiley_wix :D :D

Eastern Illinois, South Carolina State.

I think the PL matches up well vs. the OVC and MEAC

[JMUNJ08]

Was just making a note not sequence. I didn't know about those problems but I stand by my prediction xnottalkingx

[SpidersSportsEditor]

I'll make this quick: IMO, All 4 CAA teams move to the quarters.

[holycrossC]

McNeese over UNH

William and Mary over Weber

Elon upsets UR

Nova beats Holy Crossxthumbsupx

I hat to admit it, but my crusaders are toast.xbawlingx

[JMU Newbill]

JMU over Montana.... oh wait... im a year late and wrong on the pick....

[crusader11]

I hat to admit it, but my crusaders are toast.xbawlingx

I think people will be surprised how competitive the game will be. Not saying we'll win, but I don't think it will be a repeat of Colgate last year.

[whoanellie]

Delaware did not make the cut? sorry JMU either?
I thought every year at least 6 CAA teams were in?

[caribbeanhen]

as bad as Delaware was, they would win a first round playoff game assuming that is was not against an ACC ooooops...I mean a CAA team

[caribbeanhen]

same goes for JMU

[SpidersSportsEditor]

Yea I bet it would be, then you wouldn't have to play any of them in the later rounds.

[Tribe4SF]

Eastern Illinois, South Carolina State.

I think the PL matches up well vs. the OVC and MEAC

I'll give you that Holy Cross might be competitive with Eastern Illinois. SCSU is very good, and should not be judged by the rest of the MEAC. They would be heavy favorites over HC.

[LacesOut]

What a great early christmas gift it would be if the CAA went 0-4 on Saturday.

Hey that's not nice!!!!!! LOL

[crusader11]

I'll give you that Holy Cross might be competitive with Eastern Illinois. SCSU is very good, and should not be judged by the rest of the MEAC. They would be heavy favorites over HC.

You may be right. If HC comes to play, the offense is clicking, and Dom Randolph is, well, Dom Randolph, I think a lot of people will be surprised with Holy Cross.

[BigHouseClosedEnd]

What a great early christmas gift it would be if the CAA went 0-4 on Saturday.

You could also ask Santa for a Round-the-World Cruise or a Bentley ... but you probably won't get them either! xlolx

[Franks Tanks]

I agree that SCSU is a good team, but so is HC. It would be close game I think

[VT Wildcat Fan53]

UNH 42 @ McNeese St. 32 ;) Old "Santos" UNH Offense reappears for at least a week against the unsuspecting Cowboys.

Weber St. 10 @ W&M 17 xthumbsupx The Tribe "D" is for real!

Elon 10 @ UR 35 xsmiley_wix Spidahs are for real all the way around!

Holy Cross 7 @ Nova 38 xsmileyclapx Southern 'Cats prep for a rematch with the Northern 'Cats

[Husky4Life]

UNH @ McNeese St.

Weber St. @ W&M

Elon @ UR

Holy Cross @ Nova

I actually think UNH could win this one down in Lake Charles. I'd love to see UNH & HC win if only so I can go see that game in person next weekend. I really don't think that will happen though.

[JMUNJ08]

Delaware did not make the cut? sorry JMU either?

Your haterade is strong but I believe we got TWICE as many teams in as you did. And I would pick JMU and UD to win against 1/2 the teams in the fieldxreadx

[GrizNzonecrazy]

All i know is i sure wish the Griz had UNH in round one instead of SDSU.....Seems UNH had a rough time of it on their last visit to WA-Griz....actually think Coulson accused us of running up the score or something.....boy that was a fun game....I had to bring that up because all i keep hearing is how travel never effects UNH.....seems they didnt like the trip in 2004 and it seems they had some trouble @ UNI too if i remember right.....

David Ball didn't play...not that the outcome would have been different, but it is what it is

UNH has developed their rep as road team since that trip. It was the beginning of their current run.

Everyone from UNH who went to Montana for that game has nothing but respect for UM and speaks very highly them

[wideright82]

There could be reasons for such a lopsided score. First, we traveled to GSU the3 week before and then had to go across the country to Montana. David Ball got hurt in the GSU game and did not play against Montana. I am not saying that Montana would not have won the game, but look at all of the other playoff games where we traveled and the outcomes of those games

[WrenFGun]

That game was horrifying. I walked to go get a pizza and we were done 21-0. Ochs was disgusting.

[AAadict]

Montana gets to play in a weak conference and then gets a nice home schedule during the playoffs. Q: Who was the last Big Sky team besides Montana to appear in the NC?
A: ?
If any of the current CAA teams like Richmond, UNH, Delaware, JMU, Villanova, UMass, W&M play in that conference they would have a much easier path to the playoffs and a series of home games like Montana. Great program but benefit from the fact that the Big Sky doesn't beat Montana up like playing in the CAA every week.

UNH @ McNeese St.

UNH fans feel disrepected as always. Going on the road to an equally tough opponent after a great season. Geography and attendance have a lot to do with that. UNH can grind out games with you or beat you 50-49. But that is because of a Jeckyl and Hyde team where the offense and defense sometimes show up or don't. McNeese St. beat ASU but then squeaked by a D2. They were an AL out of the Southland and an equally dangerous team. Playing at home is a big help and that is why I'm picking UNH. xeekx Ask UNI, you don't want to play them in the playoffs.... UNH 31 - McNeese St. 27

Weber St. @ W&M

Weber just got to 7 wins and in the big dance. W&M was a near lock for 2 or 3 weeks when they still had 2 games against top 10's to go. While weber has won 2 straight after losing big to Montana, they have to travel accross country to a great venue in Williamsburg. The tribe will be rocking for their first home game since the '04 semi final loss to JMU. Their defense is stellar having shut down UVA, UNH, and UR just last weekend for 18 yards rushing. Weber has a big O but the BSC isn't known for their 'D'. W&M with Grimes and Archer should put up enough to signify ECB. Weber St. 23 - W&M 31

Elon @ UR

Will the real Elon stand up? ASU took them out of the game early but they rebounded against Samford to get in safely during the last week unlike past Elon collapses. Their reward? The defending champs. UR doesn't really have a home field advantage but play great every weekend. They can score enough points to win and don't allow opponents to score at all. If not for a last second FG, they would be undefeated overall. Elon will have their hands full but their stars will shine. However 3rd Team All CAA QB Ward (really? 3rd?) will guide UR to the victory where a FG attempt won't decide the game. Elon 17 - UR 27

Holy Cross @ Nova

A loss to Bucknell and now we get #2 Nova? Sounds like trouble for HC. Nova has only won a handful of games pretty this year as style points are not their MO. However, they are on a roll right now with wins over UR & UD to end the regular season. HC may have been the class of the PL minus last week but Nova was the class of the CAA this year. CAA > PL in all aspects. Holy Cross 14 - Nova 40

Don't like picking all 4 teams but I can't really see any losingxrotatehx

Only Nova is the sure thing as the rest have their hands full to get the job done. Lets get it done CAA!!! East Coast Bias!!! xbeerchugxxpopcornx

ECB lives! 4-0 for the CAA!!!!

[GreatAppSt]
