I hope the commissioner won't mind me weighing in with some data here. So far the selections are splitting as follows:
Lafayette (11) @ Central Conn (10) is shaping up as the key game
Colgate (1) @ Syracuse (20)
Fordham (2) @ Navy (19)
Monmouth (4) @ Lehigh (17)
Davidson (4) @ Georgetown (17)
Bucknell (19) @ Marist (2)
Holy Cross (21) @ Morgan State (0)

Thanks, KY. I was wondering about just that...but I was to lazy to count it up myself. Only 1 game appears to be a "toss-up." (Lafayette vs CCSU)

Friday, September 2nd:
LAFAYETTE @ Central Connecticut - A decent test for Lafayette, and I hope they prove me wrong. CCSU isn't terrible, the 'Pards go on the road, and -- based on what I have read -- LC seems to already be banged up heading into week one. It's hard to pick a 1-10 team in 2015 to win this one.
COLGATE @ Syracuse - I really think Colgate can keep this close for a while, but their defense won't be able to slow down the Orange. They'll be able to move the ball, though.
Saturday, September 3rd:
FORDHAM @ Navy - Don't think this will be competitive at all, and would be surprised if Navy doesn't win by 3+ scores.
Monmouth @ LEHIGH - If Lehigh is a supposed contender in the PL this season, they have to win this game...and they do.
Davidson @ GEORGETOWN - The Hoyas probably won't win a game in the PL this year, but Davidson is closer to a NESCAC team than D1...Georgetown wins easily.
HOLY CROSS @ Morgan State - I don't think I have seen one pick for Morgan State, and that worries me just a bit. I think this game may be more competitive than some think, especially considering that Morgan State brings back Herb Walker Jr at RB. All that said, HC's offense is going to put up points this year, and a lot of them. HC by two scores.
BUCKNELL @ Marist - Middle-of-the-pack PFL teams aren't supposed to beat scholarship PL teams.

At end of first quarter, the 'Pards up by 10.
CCSU has turned the ball over on all four possessions, three were on the QB.
Lafayette does not appear to have much of a running game.

Just streaming Colgate-Syracuse now and halftime Raiders down 20-7. As much as I am anti-Colgate, I despise Syracuse and rooting for our PL breathran.
After 'gate first TD, Orangemen came back with 2 TDs and 2 FGs.
Gate dominating TOP 17:51 to 12:09 and penalty free.

SU up 23-7 after another FG with 8:51 left in 3rd.
Now 26-7 after yet another Syracuse FG as 3rd quarter almost over. Looked like some home cooking on some long SU gainers but 'gate defense prevents them from getting into the endzone.

Colgate on offense has done nothing but drop back passes with no success since the start of the 2nd half. I don't think they've run even once.

Back-up SU QB fumbles while handing off to back and Colgate recovers almost midfield. Raiders try to run and go backwards. 4th and 20 and have to punt. 2:26 left in game. Let's see if Orange try to get more.

Well, SU tried to score but ran out of time. 33-7 Orange over Raiders.

At end of first quarter, the 'Pards up by 10. CCSU has turned the ball over on all four possessions, three were on the QB. Lafayette does not appear to have much of a running game. Yeah--setting aside the QB's 3 carries for (24) yards, because the NCAA counts sacks as lost running yardage, Lagayette had 31 carries for 46 yards.......
