The pickings this weak are surprisingly slim, but there's still some good ones on tap for the season's penultimate weekend:
Cornell at Columbia - Rare to get a winless matchup this late in the season; Columbia's best chance to win anytime soon
Princeton at Yale - Both teams still alive for Ivy title; a fitting coda for the last home game of the Yale Bowl's 100th season
10. Charleston Southern at Liberty - Flames need to be careful here; don't look ahead to Coastal and slip up against the Bucs
9. Albany at Villanova - could a road win in Philly sneak Albany back onto the bubble? Doubtful, but 'Nova needs the win for a bye
8. Delaware at New Hampshire - same situation here; how will the Wildcats respond to a #1 ranking and potential top seed?
7. McNeese State at SELA - Cowboys still have a nice ranking but no profile; Lions win locks up a bid and at least a tie for SLC title
6. JMU at Richmond - Spiders lost wiggle room with loss at Maine; winner in line for 3rd CAA playoff spot; loser crosses fingers
5. Eastern Illinois at Jacksonville State - OVC title on the line; huge game for bubble teams if Panthers could steal the auto-bid
4. Bryant at Sacred Heart - NEC game of the year; winner should get the auto-bid; Bryant still on the bubble with a loss
3. Northern Iowa at Southern Illinois - Panthers have a case at 7-5 given their wins but why risk it? Salukis need to win 2 as well
2. Indiana State at Youngstown State - Effectively an elimination game with the Penguins closing against the Bison; should be a battle
1. Idaho State at Montana State - Huge bubble implications here; Bengals have a couple of road wins but Bozeman a tougher spot
Cornell at Columbia - Rare to get a winless matchup this late in the season; Columbia's best chance to win anytime soon
