AGS Game of the Week - Week 7, Fall 2022

[Preferred Walk-On]

Sorry for the delay, but I think this week's choice is probably pretty obvious (see first game on list below).

#2 South Dakota State @ #1 North Dakota State

#30 Idaho @ #3 Montana

East Tennessee State @ #10 Mercer

#14 Elon @ #26 Rhode Island

#21 Villanova @ #20 Richmond

Western Carolina @ #23 Furman

#31 New Hampshire @ Dartmouth

Alcorn State @ Southern

Columbia @ Pennsylvania

Hmmm - either NDSU vs SDSU, or Columbia-Penn...decisions

I almost went with WCU v. Furman, but....

Any game involving Furman has to be the most important.

Battle for the Little Brown Stein (Idaho vs MT), obviously. Stein is a cooler trophy than a rock.

It's a no-brainer GOTW is between the Dakota States.

That said, there are some more important games (i.e. Richmond - Nova, Elon - URI) where we are nearing "loser leaves town" (H/T PMT) territory. Well, Elon is safe...but a loss for URI and I think their playoff hopes are done.

Yeah it all comes down to how one views the relative importance of a game. Two top teams makes a great game obviously. Clearly will have seed and conf championship implications. The other games may have "in or out" of playoffs outcomes, possibly seeding, as well as determining conf champs. But a #1 vs #2 is an obvious choice.

#1 vs #2 without questions...

However, Villanova at Richmond has my attention given the game's meaning in terms of the CAA and playoffs. Loser is in trouble.....

I am just curious what the game is that prompted the "Other" vote.

Cal Poly and Idaho State...to see if ISU can keep their streak alive.

UI @ UM is intriguing due to UM's first opponent with an above .500 record.

But with a game where number 1 vs number 2 is on the line...
