Week 5 FCS
#6 Holy Cross trailing unranked Harvard 35-21 in the 4th Q.
No way we move pass NDSU see above.
Tight one in Spartanburg, Woffy and Chatt tied at 13 near the end of the 3rd.
KSU lost to very bad CSU 13-10. KSU’s Murray had 85 yds passing.(300+ against FU) Wow. Hoping KSU is not playing all the players that played vs. FU.
The 4 SoCon games today went pretty well as expected. Only WC/UTC was closer than expected. ET added a late TD to make that one look a littke closer than it was.
My two cents:
There were some good results for Furman this weekend. Holy Cross losing is big. They typically run the table as the clear-best team in their conference. They will not have a lot of chances to pick up ranked wins the rest of the season. They had to go undefeated last year just to nab the 8 seed. A loss probably takes away their seed chance.
William and Mary losing is also big. The Tribe has been playing with fire for a few weeks, but Elon appeared to be one of the few teams left on their schedule that could reasonably beat them. W&M avoids most of the rest of the CAA's best teams, which now will hurt them going forward. I don't think it hurts Furman either that they lost to Elon, a team Furman hammered last season in the playoffs.
Who knows where NDSU will fall. Losing to an unranked team at home certainly will drop them. The Bison also still have to play a couple of really good teams, SDSU and SIU.
Also notable that two other ranked CAA teams, UNH and Villanova, also lost. That may be useful come selection time for SoCon teams.

I will be very surprised if NDSU isn’t kept above us on the basis of reputation alone.
Bill and the bitch were abdicated by the formerly aggressive followers of Christianity. Praise Be!

Voters will use it to justify how deep the MVFC is.
Honestly, I'd just like for once to see North Dakota State really to have to hit the road in the playoffs and fly across country. Who knows, maybe South Dakota laid the first brick that will bring the Bison to Greenville.
