Its been one week and already I am out of an elimination game and I did not have a perfect week last week in what actually turned out to be an easy pickings week. I have another week to try to make up for it. All teams are playing this week and all but two teams are on the road. Here is my feeble attempt at perfection this weekend after going 11-1 last week.
CP at San Jose State (FBS Mountain West)---The Mustangs had a really good showing at home last week in getting a well earned win. This week, they step up a notch and head to the Bay Area to play a team that had a short week to prepare. As if that means anything...San Jose State 34, CP 10.
EWU at Fresno State (FBS Mountain West)---The Eagles put on a good show last weekend against one of the heavies in all of FCS and feel good heading into this game against the FBS. However, the opponent got a good win last week and don't look like they want to slow down...Fresno State 38, EWU 14.
UI at Nevada (FBS Mountain West)---A typical game involving a good FCS team against a not so good FBS team usually means the FCS team will keep it interesting but will ultimately succumb. However, the Vandals actually have enough here to hold on and get a good win...UI 31, Nevada 28.
ISU at Utah State (FBS Mountain West)---Hard to think a loss would start some good thoughts going, but the Bengals looked decent against one of the Mountain West's top teams. They stay in that conference this week and play an easier team. Can they stick around again?...Utah State 24, ISU 13.
UM at Utah Tech (FCS United)---So the Grizzlies did come away with a win last week against an inferior opponent, but the score was closer than imagined. Now a game that should be easy, but after last week and on the road, it may have become more difficult...Utah Tech 28, UM 26.
MSU at South Dakota State (FCS Missouri Valley)---Last week showed the Bobcats are ready to take on all comers in their quest for a deep run this year. This week takes them into extreme hostile territory, playing one of the the heavies in all of FCS. A win would be huge...South Dakota State 31, MSU 28.
NAU at North Dakota (FCS Missouri Valley)---The Lumberjacks kept things interesting last week for a half at least. They will need to play a full game if they want a win this week. A formidable foe in a tough place to play may mean a win would be a tall order to achieve...North Dakota 28, NAU 14.
Incarnate Word (FCS Southland) at UNC---One of the two games being played in Big Sky territory, and the Bears are back from the Southland to take on another Southland team. This one, however, is a pretty good one that gave the FBS fits last week... Incarnate Word 31, UNC 17.
PSU at Wyoming (FBS Mountain West)---The Vikings knew that, even at their best, they were probably not going to get a win last week, and pointed to this week's game as a good chance to beat the FBS. But, that was before this FBS team knocked off the Big 12...Wyoming 38, PSU 10.
Texas A&M-Commerce (FCS Southland) at SAC---The Hornets emerged from Bayou country last week with a good road win, and now return home to face another Southland team. Being at home should be a relief for them, especially in their second Southland game...SAC 34, Texas A&M-Commerce 10.
UCD at Oregon State (FBS Pac-12)---The Aggies looked strong last week, picking up a solid win down on the Gulf shores against the Southland. All that has earned them a much shorter trip into Pac-12 land. Can they stay around long enough to get a win here?...Oregon State 35, UCD 20.
WSU at Northern Iowa (FCS Missouri Valley)---Last week, the Wildcats did what they wanted to do in dispatching a lower division team and not felt threatened in doing it. Now they venture out into a hostile place to play against a good team. Can they continue to win?..Northern Iowa 28, WSU 25.
