Currently I'm at 67-11 and still looking for perfection. Seems I've been missing one per week all year and also seems to be very home team oriented this year in the conference. Here is my attempt at perfection.
CP at UI---The Mustangs seem to have been snake-bit for the year, coming so close but can't win. They now head on the road to face the Vandals who have looked unbeatable at home all year. Will the Mustangs find ways to lose and the Vandals find ways to win in this setup?...UI 31, CP 17.
UM at PSU---The Grizzlies are waiting for either Sac State or Weber State to stumble and come out to the Vikings makeshift home for a win. The Vikings have looked good at home, but this is a strong test. Vikings need this if they have their eye on the playoffs...PSU 29, UM 28.
NAU at EWU---Losing a lead after leading throughout was nothing for the Lumberjacks and now they have go to the Eagles den. The Eagles may be a bit shellshocked after their loss last week and could there be a Grizzly hangover here? Does the home team get this one...NAU 42, EWU 38.
UNC at ISU---The Bears had two weeks to prepare for this game and go to the Bengals home where the Bengals have looked unbeatable as well. The Bengals, however, looked terrible playing a bottom feeder last week, but can you chalk that up to them playing on the road...ISU 42, UNC 14.
SUU at MSU---Its been a rough three weeks for the Bobcats who need a win to get back in good graces. They go home this week and play one of the bottom feeders but the Thunderbirds got a solid win at home last week so they should be feeling pretty good now...MSU 33, SUU 21.
WSU at SAC---Who thought this game would be big this week at the beginning of the season? The Wildcats have been solid as usual but the Hornets have taken the conference by surprise. Will Cinderella still be at the dance or will the clock strike midnight on their season...SAC 31, WSU 27.
I'll stand pat with Venus' picks. They look good....
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

Barnum has beaten the Griz in Portland and in Missoula. This is the trifecta. Icing on the cake.
Mmmmmm...icing.
Davis Alexander is one tough kid, I must say. He took some absolute shots today, but kept getting up off the deck.
Alexander's coaches really owe him several dinners—they hung him out to dry today. The Griz were blitzing on every play & PSU's coaches did very little to try and counter that. It was basically like they were telling him, "Just run around in the backfield a lot, hope someone gets open downfield, and try not to die."
They fact PSU was even in the game in the fourth quarter is a credit to Alexander's toughness.

Just like the Viks I got blown up this week. 2-4 and was lucky to get that. 69-15 for the year.

Northern Colorado: the best FCS team in Idaho.
They wasted some good talent at WR by having a pick machine at Qb. They should go ahead and play the freshman the rest of the year, and get him ready for next season. I don’t look for them to win another game this year.
