Didn't see it posted yet and have been too busy to start it earlier. Good luck to all the teams and especially the Dukes in searching for the endzone....

Delaware/Maine/UNH @ BYE

(14)UR @ (5)Nova - 12pm
(3)W&M @ UNC - 3:30pm
URI @ Towson - 3:30pm
(18)UMass @ (15)JMU - 3:30pm

UR @ Nova
Nova continues to look like getting healthy and a wake up call is what they needed. A pesky UR team using their 13th string QB comes to town fighting for the playoffs 2 weeks removed from devasting QB losses. I think the UR defense will keep it close but the Offense won't get it done vs. Nova on the road.
UR 10 @ Nova 31

W&M @ UNC
Late season matchup against two solid teams from the FCS & FBS. UNC seems to have overcome the loss of 1/2 their starting D and may have salvaged some of their season. If this was week 1 with all their problems the Tribe would have a chance. As it stands, W&M will at least get a boost in SOS (if the ACC is higher....)
W&M 17 @ UNC 30

URI @ Towson
Fight for the bottom is in full swing this weekend. The Tigers could make it a near 3-way tie with a win. URI has played better though this year while Towson has seemed warn out already. Should be an interesting and exciting game to call.
URI 24 @ Towson 13

UMass @ JMU
Who thought 3 weeks ago that these two teams would be fighting for their playoff lives after starting 4-1 and had strong showings and wins early on? Now one of these two teams will own a 3 game losing streak, drop to .500, and have to win out just to have the option of being selected for an at-large playoff birth. UMass seems to have lost all the air out of its baloon. W&M/Michigan seem like ages ago after a loss to pass less Richmond and a Towson like drubbing by UNH. Is the fight taking out of them? JMU rode VT/Liberty wins to greater expectations and a #1 ranking. But the offense was left at the Morehead St. game. The once potent Dukes offense can't run the ball for 200 avg per game this year and the passing game isn't picking up the slack. The players are in place but can they execute/play calling get better? Sad to see one team go to .500 but I see a UMass team on the road going down as MM can't have the home fans disappointed again after their homecoming showing...
UMass 17 @ JMU 17.5

(14)UR 7 @ (5)Nova 17 xbangx Spidahs can play D, just can't score.

(3)W&M 21 @ UNC 24 xsmhx As the Beach Boys would say, "Wouldn't it be Nice?" Alas, close, but no ceegar.

URI 27 @ Towson 14 xhurrayx URI continues its year of pride and improvement. TSU just worn out.

(18)UMass 14@ (15)JMU 11- 3:30pm xscanx Dr. Jeckell & Mr. Mass saga continues unabated. ZooMass saves its playoff hopes, .... for now.

Richmond 10 @ Nova 28*

*If we see the 'Nova team that took the field against Maine. If the team that came out against W&M or Penn comes to play, UR could have their second big conference upset of the season.

W&M 14 @ UNC 24

This is tough to call. On one hand, I'd love to see another CAA team upset an ACC team, and I love to see FCS teams upset FBS teams in general. On the other hand, UD needs W&M to lose a couple games to help out with Delaware's potential playoff seed.

URI 27 @ Towson 13

Rhody is coming along this season. Maybe if they do well enough they'll consider sticking around.

UMass 17 @ JMU 23

This is the biggest head scratcher of the week. The best way to describe UMass and JMU so far this season would be 'wildly inconsistent'. It's a toss up.

'Nova 28 UR 17 - Philly Cats keep pace with UD and W&M with a home win

UMass 28 JMU 24 - Minutemen come away with the last minuite win at Harrisonburg

URI 31 TU 24 - Rhody win this one in the battle of the cellar dwellers

UNC 35 W&M 24 - Tribe manage to keep it close but Tar Heels still pretty talented despite all the suspensions


And in the big two ...

... Hampton 38 ODU 31 - In what might be the most entertaining GOTW, the Pirates edge their in-state bretheren

South Alabama 28 GSU 20 - Panthers fall short in a tough road loss to the Jags
