Honestly, I could see literally EVERY game turn out differently. This is the closest-matched week all season.

[LeadBolt]

Maine - Tough to win in Durham, but I think Bears are motivated for a top 4 seed
Stony Brook - Tough to see Ford go out with a loss. Albany may turn this around for him.
Villanova - Could easily go either way. Feel Cats Defense is better than Delaware's.
Towson - More talent than Dukes and playing for a seed.
William & Mary - The underdog seems to win this game more than one would think, UR itching to be spoiler, this could come down to the final possession.

I agree with these picks but the Maine UNH game is a total coin flip.

Coach ford's last game.

Tough way to end a tough year in Albany.

[TigerFen]

New Hampshire 24, Maine 21 New Hampshire gets an inspired performance on offense and an early lead to get themselves into the playoffs.
Albany 24, Stony Brook 10 Albany gives Bob Ford a Great send off in their rivalry game.
Villanova 21, Delaware 14 Villanova has a better offense especially with illusiveness of Robertson in their rivalry game.
Towson 30, James Madison 14 Last week was the start of better things for Towson on defense and the offense plays better with the pass.
William and Mary 19, Richmond 13 William and Mary gets themselves into the playoffs after the Towson loss by multiple Turnovers.

Great weekend of games, which could see as many as four (outside chance of five) get in the playoffs or only two.

FYI - Jim Fiore - Stony brook's AD was abruptly fired last night.

There is some meat to this story, not yet described. Very interesting.

Apparently his bio was removed before it was even announced. There is definitely something going on.

He basically created the Stony Brook athletic department. He is the architect. I would've never suspected he would leave except for a school with an FBS football program.

CAA gets 3 in - Maine/ Towson/ W&M

[DoubleH]

#4 Maine @ #24 New Hampshire - UNH completes the turnaround with a signature win that punches their ticket to The Dance.
Albany @ Stony Brook - SBU closes out a disappointing season with a win.
Delaware v. Villanova - Neutral site doesn't matter - 'Nova is a better team and will run all over the reeling Hens.
James Madison @ #6 Towson - 3:30 PM - JMU comes in flat with nothing to play for, thanks to last week's huge upset loss, and the Tigers take advantage to finally beat JMU in CAA play.
#14 William & Mary @ Richmond - A lot of upset picks coming in for Richmond here, who is playing much better, but that W&M D is legit. The Tribe wins and gets in.

Playoffs: Based on my picks, I see Maine (10-2, CAA Champs), Towson (10-2), William & Mary (8-4), and New Hampshire (7-4) getting in.

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

59-22 Overall....

UNH 24 Maine 21 - I think the Wildcats get the win at home which will punch their playoff ticket...

SBU 35 Albany 24 - Ford will unfortunately conclude his coaching career with a loss....

Villanova 40 Delaware 27 - The Wildcats are better than their record...

Towson 38 JMU 24 - The Tigers wrap up a seed...

William & Mary 27 Richmond 17 - The Spiders are playing better right now but I don't think it's enough to deny the Tribe a playoff birth...

Looks like harassment...

Between him and former president Dr. Kenny, there's no way Stony Brook Athletics would be anywhere close to where it is today. In my opinion they whiffed on the Stanley hire for president, so I'm concerned whom their going to hire to replace Fiore.
