I picked El Cid and here is why: El Cid beat the team that beat Wofford. I like the consequences of that.

Citadel needs this win. They havent beat wofford in a long time and a win over them could jump start them from a bad start.

I went with South Dakota State at Illinois State. MVFC is going to be a CF (in a good way).

I want to see how good Indiana St is, and UNI at home will be a good test. We'll see how good South Dakota is this weekend when they host SIU. Too many good Valley games to choose from.

All of FCS sucks this year. Kick NDSU upstairs where they belong.

Please keep them. We've had to play them (3 times I think) and never bested them.

This gives me an idea for another thread.

You guys are missin' the resurgent Missouri State story. 3-1 to start for one of the very few times in program history. Lame duck coach with no contract for next year. Couldn't scrape up $100,000 in the community or among alumni to buy him out. Can he keep winning and get a couple more years? Drama in Springfield!

I don't think we couldn't come up with the money but decided he'd probably be done after this year anyways.

But now we have this new, unexperienced situation that could change everything.

9 freakin years. Unbelievable that it took this long

I'm going with CCU @ Furman.

Intrastate game ... The Vermin need to rise-up or kiss 2014 goodbye.

I didn't know the stuff about the coach but I picked that game because they look pretty good to me. Only loss was a pretty good effort against Oklahoma State. I think they may be a sleeper but I guess we'll find out starting this week.

There are several other rebuilds that took that long or longer, Duo. The one that comes to mind is that McCartney character at Colorado. Though there was a Jesus circus around him for the time he was there, he did turn it around after about 10 years working at it.

Such lengthy turnarounds are non-existent anymore in DI, given our immediate gratification culture. I'm a fan of TA, having worked for him, but, even if he goes 8-3, I don't think he survives.
