Richmond vs. UMass.

The HC/PL is interesting, but either team is going to get smacked in the first round anyway and I actually think Lafayette is the best PL team this year.

i wanted to give one option not from the SoCon/CAA/MVFC/BSC - since i'm sure I'll hear it from the SLC people again (even though there are no compelling games in their conference this week)

I voted for UMass-Richmond, simply because anytime you have a ranked team playing #1, it's a big game. Plus, which UMass will show up? Will Richmond continue to win the close ballgames or will they really solidify the #1 ranking for another week?

However, UNI-SDSU has to be a really, really close second. A loss for SDSU could really put them on the bubble, while a UNI loss would all but eliminate their hopes at a seed (barring some really crazy stuff, which is totally likely).

The GSU-ASU game is interesting because you've got one team that people think are on the way up and another that some feel are on the way down. Can GSU dethrone ASU in the SoCon? An Eagle win would give them a legitimate shot at getting back into the playoffs, while ASU is already in the playoffs, figuratively speaking, with every week a must-win.
