All easy picks but the Texas St - SUU game. That game is a toss up and could easily go either way. I would love to pick the Bobcats but our road OOC history and Cedar Falls history makes it hard. I think Texas St is the better team (by a little bit) but it may come down to home field advantage.

I disagree. SAM is 1-2. They beat NDSU on a last minute play. I think they got lucky. Their D is ranked 116. St Joseph's is 3-2 and their O & D are fairly evenly matched in DII rankings... O-89, D-78.

SAMs lone win - NDSU - are ranked O 16 and D 99, as of this week. I dont't usually predict but I thought I'd put this out for thoughts.

and since I'm at it:

UCA - though they haven't really played anyone whom I consider a tough game, they should take MS&T, whose D is horrendous by anyone's standards. (144 in DII)
