I voted Maine @ JMU. Highly likely the winner of this will at least finish top 2-3 in the CAA, be in the playoffs, and may win the CAA title.

This is the 4th straight week JMU has been in the 89Hen I-AA game of the week poll.
-3 weeks ago the CAA game of the week was JMU @ Liberty. At the time the point spread had Liberty slightly favored.
-2 weeks ago the CAA game of the week was JMU @ W&M. At the time the point spread had W&M slightly favored.
-Last week the CAA game of the week was UR @ JMU. At the time the point spread had JMU slightly favored.
-This week the CAA game of the week is Maine @ JMU. JMU should be slightly favored.

At least the next 2 weeks won't see JMU in the CAA game of the week (home vs Villanova and bye).

Preseason, with UD not playing JMU and UNH, W&M @ UD was looking like one of the top 2, and maybe the CAA game of the year. Now its not even the CAA game of the week.

Went with W&M and UD. Two of the pre-season top 3, and the loser is in a world of hurt.

Besides, JMU can't have the GOTW for three straight weeks. ;)

Jeesh, JMU really isn't getting any breaks here, are we? Before the season the Maine game would have been chalked up as a win ... now it's looking like it could be for the eventual CAA title. It's still too early in the season to get a read on a lot of these teams ... but Maine looks to be at least a 7-4 team this year. JMU will be favored for being at home ... this one should be close. IF, and a big IF, JMU wins this one convincingly, I think they are by far the CAA favorite. JMU has convincingly beaten the #6 and #10 teams in the country the last two weeks ... beating a 3rd in a row should really make them favorites.

What is this now, 4 straight ranked opponents for JMU? (assuming Maine is top 25, which they will be)

Maine-JMU. We'll get some sense of how well the Black Bears do in a conference road game in a hostile environment.

Toss between UD/WM and JMU/Maine since both of these will be some what telling for all four teams.

I don't think it's the game of the week, but no mention of SIU vs. NDSU? A battle of top 20 teams.

I voted for IND St. @ UNI. This is the sycamores chance at showing whether they belong at the top of the MVC AND being ranked in the top 20.

Indiana St vs UNI

Get to see if Indiana State is for real this year. Sorry, but CAA teams are pretty much a known quantity to me.
