Well our little ole league kicked off the 150th season of college football with Colgate perhaps returning to the PL pack as Villanova took care of business 34-14. A full slate this week as all 7 teams are in action with some taking on some formidable foes. Our boys in Royal Purple take on Navy which is amazingly the 1st meeting on the gridiron between these two fine institutions. Week 1 (all Saturday) St Francis at Lehigh GTown at Davidson Bucknell at Temple Colgate at Air Force Lafayette at W&M CCSU at Fordham Holy Cross at Navy Standings: 1 rich 4sader3 he pride Joe jsherman longsuffering hc8112 big fan purple pig jflare crusader hc87 HC16 CHC8485 pp Cuscis#1 2 rgs DeepPurp efg72 ny2010 card man KYCRU alum mm67 he nation inhocsigno Bleed Purple way back crossisback crossisback#2 SoV Purple haze HCFC45 hcgrad94 hc6774 ChuChu

Could the league go 0-7? Probably not.
Lehigh over St. Francis. Both teams have a lot of roles to fill. Tough call.
Georgetown over Davidson. Both teams can score. I just have to believe that a Patriot should be able to beat a Pioneer team. Tough call.
Temple will beat Bucknell. The Owls are always trying to get into a BCS league and should be ashamed of themselves for this game.
Air Force over Colgate. First games don’t always mean much but this second contest is a bridge too far for the 0-1 Raiders.
William and Mary over Lafayette. The Leopards may be improved but they will not be picked to win a game until they prove they can score.
Fordham over CCSU. Toughest pick of the week. Fordham has been a mystery for a couple years but can move the ball. CCSU is a middle of-the-pack NEC team at best. What the heck, no money is at stake.
Oh yeah. Navy will beat Holy Cross.
I hope the teams taking on big time opponents take something useful (besides money) from the experience.
So four consensus picks and three games where forecasts might come out even.
[
In short:
Lehigh Georgetown Temple Air Force W&M Fordham Navy

Thanks again for arranging this 87. Looking forward to a good year everyone! Let's see how long my optimism lasts with Navy and if the starting QB stays under center the whole game.

FWIW Bassett picked Colgate. to beat Villanova by 10.5 (38.5 to 28). Ouch! Was that cecausde they thought Colgate was better than they are...or because they underestimated Villanova?

Saw a line on HC/Navy. Navy -20.5. I think HC will keep it closer than that.

Was that cecausde they thought Colgate was better than they are...or because they underestimated Villanova? ] I thought it was a no-brainer Villanova would roll. Heck, even the game announcers said repeatedly they were a very talented CAA squad last year until a bizarre string of injuries walloped them. But before the injuries, Villanova had opened by beating Temple. This year, PL Colgate ain’t FCS Temple. I’d imagine Colgate would be overwhelmed by Air Force by an even larger margin than Nova. (It is also true that Colgate lost a lot to graduation.)

Only 4500 attendance for Villanova @ Colgate....I figured it would be at least 7500.
Too early in season ?
