Yale-- Fordham won by 15 @ weak Bryant and split with decent CCSU & Richmond. Against 2 good teams, Ball State and Stony Brook, Fordham got pummeled by 28 & 35 points. Yale appears to fall into the "good" class and should be able to control the game on the ground and prevail at home
Colgate-- Lehigh has been very consistent all year, performing right to what Sagarin suggests it should while Colgate has tossed in two real duds, 10-38 @ William & Mary and last week's 3-38 lambasting at Dartmouth. Still, I think Colgate is the better team and at 0-5 should be highly motivated to win this one at home and begin to turn around a lost season.
Cornell-- Georgetown had a nice win @ Columbia in latest game. Versus the one common opponent, Gtown beat Marist 43-3 at home while Cornell beat Marist on the road 21-7. Total yardage differential versus Marist was about the same for Gtown and Cornell. Cornell outgained Yale last week in a loss 16-27 and one Yale TD came on an onside kick. I'll go with Cornell and the home field this week.
Holy Cross-- This is truly a must-win game for Holy Cross. I'm hoping we see some new wrinkles on offense and great line play. Bucknell once was known for strong defense but has given up 187 points in four games this year---versus some tough teams, admittedly. Still, Sacred Heart racked up 500+ yards of total offense.

This will have to be the worst OOC season for the PL, no? Can our stats freaks (said in the nicest way btw ) confirm this? I think many conferences can say that about their OOC schedules-conference play is all that matters at the 1AA level

This will have to be the worst OOC season for the PL, no? Can our stats freaks (said in the nicest way btw ) confirm this? Here are the OOC W-L for the PL for the past dozen years. The records include post season play, Please note that the difficulty of the schedules varies from year to year, e.g. Syracuse, Army, Navy, and Air Force are tougher opponents than Marist, Davidson, and Bryant 2008= 19-16 ,543 2009= 18-18 .500 2010= 14-23 .378 2011= 20-17 .541 2012= 18-18 .500 2013= 19-22 .463 2014=18-22 .450 2015= 18-21 .462 2016=14-21 .400 2017= 8-28 .222 2018= 8-28 .222 2019= 7-24 226 to date note the improvement from last year's .222 to this year's .226

October brings real football weather for these games:
Yale (Fordham might be better than many thought, let's hope they put up a respectable showing) Colgate (with or without Breneman the Raiders should win easily) Cornell (they looked better than we did vs.Yale so GU comes back to earth) Holy Cross (I'll be very disappointed if this game is close)

Yale Colgate Cornell Bucknell....don't shoot the piano player .... partly a gut, "bad feeling"...partly a gamble to climb the leaderboard here...I truly hope I'm wrong

I pray for a huge HC win...but remembering last. year. I still fear an upset. I don't want my belief in the superiority off the Crusaders to jinx us.

Indeed they did. Congrats to Coach TG on his first PL win at Lehigh.

Colgate’s excellent QB Breneman was back this week - they have multiple problems to lose that game

Break up the Hoyas ! Just knocked off Cornell on the road 14-8. They look to be as good (mediocre) as anyone in the PL
