What is the I-AA game of the week? Guess what... It's NOT Montana/Montana State, sorry folks. Both of those teams are already in the playoffs and are only playing for position. These are the games that will determine the final spots.

The Florida Classic

If the MEAC were to get two teams (not likely) it would be the winner of this game. And its always an entertaining game. 67,000+

Not really. There is one game where winner is IN, loser is OUT. I'm not sure the MEAC sending two is that much of a long shot and obviously it's the winner of the Florida Classic. I think FAMU would have a better chance of getting a bid than B-CU, but that's pure speculation on my part.

Weber State v. Portland State

This Stony Brook Liberty game is huge. Two 7-3 (5-0) teams, who have never been to the playoffs, closely ranked in the polls (I assume we will see that today), one with a huge pass offense and one with a huge run offense. It should be a close and epic matchup for the conference championship and the coveted auto bid to the FCS playoffs!

Has to be Liberty at Stony Brook. This is the game to watch this week and it will be on MASN as usual. Liberty will stop the run and win through the air

Liberty @ Stony Brook is essentially a playoff game. The winner moves on and the loser is done. Show me another matchup with better circumstances.

Liberty and Stony Brook...game is for the Big South Championship, the winner goes onto the playoffs, the loser gets an early start to the offseason program.

Should be a great game, it'll be the first time in a while that I won't be going. Saving my chips for New Orleans next week.

So a potential #1/2 vs #5/6 matchup is not one of the best 9 games in FCS?

Liberty vs Stony Brook is the most intriguing game of the week. It could be an offensive barn burner like Towson vs UNH was last week. I think it's which defense takes advantage of turnovers wins this game and gets the automatic Big South Bid.

I agree with this game being game of the week. If Portland State wins while (of course) Montana loses to the Bobcats, the Vikings will be 8-3, 6-2 and tied for second with the Griz in the Big Sky Conference.

It'll put some pressure on the selection committee to pick a somewhat hot 6 win team. The committee might give the Vikings a break as poor scheduling, which was not entirely their fault, didn't give them much of an opportunity to get to the 7 win magic number.

I like the idea of forcing the committee to make some tough choices. If the tourney had 24 teams this year the Vikings would be a shoe in.

He can read. And so can I. Doesn't mean it's not lame.

Just because we're both in the playoffs doesn't mean that shouldn't be in the options for game of the week. That said, Cat/griz is the game of the week.

Hey, you're entitled to your opinion and you can also make your own poll every week.

Thanks.
*Thanks for the other thread I meant.

Furman @ UFla

The Vermin shock the world to become playoff-eligible.

I understand your reasoning, but to exclude a top 5 matchup from the game of the week poll just seems weird to me. It's not like both teams will be resting their starters for the playoffs.

Did you guys notice he's sporting Griz colors? It's a conspiracy

ECB, they would rather pick a game that will determine the last team in rather than a top 5 seed

No, I meant our primary colors. Yellow and blue.

Liberty-Stony Brook. And I'm pulling for SB because one of my partners is a graduate!

Maine vs New Hampshire.

Weber State @ Portland State


There I said it
