The Colonial Athletic Association race and national title picture could become clearer Saturday when No. 1 Richmond hosts No. 4 Villanova in a Football Championship Subdivision showdown.
The defending national champion Spiders are 8-0 (6-0 in the CAA), while Villanova is 7-1 and 4-1, its only loss 28-24 at seventh-ranked New Hampshire. Saturday's winner will have the inside track to the CAA title and a high seed in the NCAA playoffs.
Villanova coach Andy Talley hasn't downplayed what will be at stake Saturday with his team.
