I was 4-0 today. A number of teams saw their playoff chances effectively come to an end today. Here's where I have it after today. Numbers in parenthesis indicates how many wins they need to become playoff eligible against number of D1 games.

1) Wofford (1 of 5) - One win away from being the presumptive SoCon champions
2) Western Carolina (2 of 5) - Wins another game for one of their fallen superfans
3) Samford (3 of 5) - Resting well and ready to take on the rest of their schedule
4) Furman (3 of 4) - Slamhandled the Keydets.
5) Mercer (3 of 4) - Avenged last year's loss
6) The Citadel (OUT*) - Great effort and had nothing to be ashamed of
7) ETSU (OUT) - Had a good start but a horrible finish
8) Chattanooga (OUT) - Another game, another loss
9) VMI (OUT) - One game closer to a merciful end of their season

* Effectively eliminated since Clemson is still on the schedule and I'm not expecting them to win.

Predictions
Samford @ Wofford (Game of the Week) - Terriers become the presumptive SoCon champions
Western Carolina @ VMI (Beatdown of the Week) - Catamounts lay waste in Lexington
Mercer @ Furman - Paladins win this year's Lamb Bowl
The Citadel @ Chattanooga - Bulldogs make short work of the Mocs

Samford @ Wofford - Bulldogs can't win it in Sparkle City
Western Carolina @ VMI - Cats win
Mercer @ Furman - Paladins win at home, but Bears make it close
The Citadel @ Chattanooga - Bulldogs find someone they can beat real bad

Ya'll can debate endlessly which one should be statistically superior and thus the top thread in several threads across the board.
