Week #3 picks
Yesterday's games are in the books, lets look ahead to next week and pick the winners.....
Week #3 - September 19
Chattanooga at Samford - The Mocs have a big let down, while Samford continues playing at a high level and spoil Chattanooga's dream of another undefeated conference season. 35-31
Wofford at Idaho - The Vandals squeak out a win over the Terriers, 28-24
VMI at Richmond - Upset alert!!!!! The Keydets knock off the Spiders in an upset at Richmond - 38-21
Furman at UCF - The Knights escape with a close win - 35-28
The Citadel at Ga Southern - The Bulldogs stay close, but the Eagles have the numbers and win, 28-`7
Mercer at Tennessee Tech - The Bears pick up win #3 on the road, spoiling the home opener for the Golden Eagles, 35-28
Western Carolina at Tennessee - The losses continue for the Cats, as they are shell shocked in Knoxville, 56-14
___________
Power rankings....
#1. Samford - Playing in the first two weeks like we thought the Mocs would.
#2. Chattanooga - A big letdown after the loss to JSU, just a 10 point victory over Div. II Mars Hill
#3. The Citadel - The Dogs were seriously underrated in preseason, and may still be in this ranking
#4. Wofford - The pieces are falling into place for the Terriers, maybe a contender after all
#5. Western Carolina - Highly overrated in preseason, this may be too high as well
#6. Mercer - The Bears have taken care of bossiness so far, and willl continue to rise in the rankings
#7. Furman - Looking better than last season, but how will the Paladins play in conference?
#8. VMI - Definitely an improved team, unfortunately, so has everyone else besides the Catamounts
