Edits: Robert Morris has proven that they don't have the discipline to be NEC conference champions. Bryant may be the real darkhorse in the NEC race, but since this race is so wide open this year I have to go with my Dukes.

Lost faith in Cal Poly after their struggle with DII Humbolt State.

William & Mary now face an uphill battle. I've decided to go with the popular favorite, Villanova.

Since September 8, 2010 is a Wednesday, I would hope that the thread will locked on Thursday, September 2 before most teams play their first game of the season.

Should be the 9th - corrected.

I give everyone one week's worth of games - usually they are FBS or D2 games, so they don't impact the conference standings.

Also - you can change your picks (in your original post only) up until thread is locked.
