Too bad the SC St vs NC A&T matchup will not decided who goes to the NCAA tournament.I picked PVAM by 4 TD's over the Tigers because of Panthers QB Jalen Morton at 6-4 230 he is obvious NFL material and he has a NFL arm.JSU has a QB on their roster named Matt Little 6-5 230 who needs playing time.Morton only had 236 yds vs JSU I would thought he was going to destroy the Tigers defense.I wonder if Alabama A&M and Prairie View A&M are in the same division.I want to see QBs Aqeel Glass and Morton go at it in this potential shootout.I picked Del St for a upset over my alma mater NCCU well back to the drawing board.The matchup between South Carolina St and North Carolina A&T there's a potential matchup that I want to see SC STATE WR SHAQUAN DAVIS vs NORTH CAROLINA A&T DB MAC MC CAIN.

I was really surprised at how bad Eastern played. I expected them to put up a playoff-caliber performance given the talent they've got & that they knew their season was on the line, but they instead looked like a stereotypical Big Sky also-ran just going through the motions. And watching a couple of their players doing sack dances or whatever while trailing by 17 in the fourth quarter was just comical.
In one year, it seems like EWU's gone from being a national-title contender to being a collection of players that never gave a shit about their W/L record.
