Richmond @ Towson

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.

I guess you've had a tough stretch.

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)

ISU @ UNI

Though this could of gone 3 ways. Good week in FCS!

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.

THis is a traveshamockery. How does Duquesne @ Albany NOT have this locked up by now?

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.
