Missed ya Carney.....welcome back

Welcome back carney, even under the adverse circumstances provided by following the Pards. Went 5-1 last week, good performance to build on. 9-5 so far, so plenty of room to improve.

Catholic at Georgetown Georgetown I'm not going to belabor the point too much. I know Hoya fans don't want this game, but here it is. Positive view says this represents a chance for the Hoyas to build off last week's win and maybe generate some positive momentum going forward. Rosy? Probably, but just win.

Sacred Heart at Lafayette Sacred Heart I don't like making this pick, but why pick against the Pioneers right now? SHU was last seen beating up Bucknell, and I haven't seen anything yet to suggest the Leopards are better. Being in Easton might help, but I've got to see to believe.

Fordham at Bryant Fordham Taking a bit of a risk here, but the Bulldogs have put up just one touchdown through two games so far. The Rams can at least score, and nearly took out an NEC contender in Central Connecticut. Bryant won this one in the Bronx last year, but I think this is a game the Rams really need if you want to feel they're moving in the right direction.

Villanova at Bucknell Villanova The Wildcats go for the PL sweep, and this is likely the softest of the stretch. The Bison have to this point looked punchless on offense, and not good enough defensively to get into a slugfest. Nova is probably better than Sacred Heart, and might be as good as Temple.

Colgate at William & Mary Colgate Raiders have had an extra week to think about their start so far. Beyond the fact, that is, that it hasn't been good at all. The Tribe may be a CAA team, but are a step down in quality from Villanova and Air Force. Mike London may well turn this program around, and they'll certainly be looking at this game as a potential benchmark, but I like the 'Gate in the Win column against the team that let Lafayette hang around.

Lehigh at UC Davis UC Davis Speaking of ramping up schedule intensity (this is really a follow-on from the Bucknell paragraph), Lehigh goes from hanging-around-the-rankings Villanova to Top-10 UC Davis. Aggies might be showing some cracks compared to preseason expectations, but even a step back from this quarterfinalist still leaves a too-large gap for the Hawks to close this year.

Georgetown, should not be close
Lafayette, Pards showing some life and at home they may just squeak out a win
Fordham, rams getting their act together in the Bronx
Villanova, Buffs not getting their act together
Colgate, bye week to fix a few things
UC Davis, really big challenge for a young squad to go the the left coast and face a quality team

I wonder if the view would have been around here had Tom Gilmore scheduled Moravian this week after UC-Davis cut the contract.
