Picking nine games for this week's GOTW was a challenge, as most of the matchups appear pretty lopsided (at least on paper). This week appears to be the calm before the storm. However, most of the matchups listed have either at-large playoff implications (the playoffs have already started for UNI; which CAA team gets squeezed?), seed implications, auto-bid implications, and even in the SWAC game, there is the potential to see a team like A&M make the playoffs again. Of course, feel free to add your GOTW to the comments, and Happy Halloween!
