Power Rankings
1. UTC:
Escaped the Keydets, but was down on the road and came back nice, sign of good team
2. The Citadel: Put up what was probably one of the best games they have had (against a good team) in many a year, on the road to boot; no turnovers, 1 penalty with 3 minutes to play, +10M in TOP, 400+ rushing; creative play calling when apprropiate and near pefect execution in the run game; The Citadel D neutered Eubank; allowed lots of yards late but controlled the Samford O

3. Samford: The Citadel had 2 punts inside Samford's 2 yard line and Samford scored on both drives; they can move the ball
4. WCU: Nice road victory, and the first in Spartanburg since 1981, wow
5. Furman: I think they may be quietly dangerous
6. Mercer: Handled ETSU as they should have
7. VMI: A respectable perfomance gets them out of the basement

8. Wofford: In a death spiral

Predictions

The Citadel at Furman - always a tough foe for the Bulldogs and they have not won back to back at Furman since 92 and 94; if they replicate what they did against Samford, Furman does not have a chance; not sure they can maintain the intensity, but maybe just enough - 26-20
UTC at Wofford - UTC seems luke warm at times but with the way the Terriers have been lately, I think they put them away fairly easily which would be their first victory in Sparkle City since 1998 which is also the last time that The Citadel beat the rat dogs anywhere....that is until this year - 35-14
VMI at Mercer - Seriously hard one to call; VMI is dangerous, they played Ball and Furman close on the road, should have beat Bucknell, played UTC to a score and gave Samford fits until the 4th; VMI is probably still smarting from last year's loss to the Bears as well and they are due for a breakthough; the only problem is, so is Mercer; they are 14 points from being undefeated even if their schedule has not been too tough so far except maybe for their game at WCU; got to give the edge to the Care Bears - 31-28
Samford at WCU - Another difficult one to call on paper, but Samford has got to figure their season is in serious danger and they have the talent to dominate if they regroup, they need to win out if they have any hopes for a playoff spot and they have never lost at WCU - 38-24
