We're back (I hope)....first games in September in 2 years. I know we are a couple weeks out (UConn is at Fresno St this weekend) but it will give us some time during this end of Summah season to chat, pontificate etc. on these games.
Same rules as always, just pick the outright winner of each game.
Some VERY daunting games for some of our PL brethern in Week 1. All games are on Saturday 9/4.
Week 1:
Colgate @ BC Fordham @ Nebraska Villanova @ Lehigh Marist @ GTown Lafayette @ Air Force Bucknell @ Sacred Heart Holy Cross @ UConn

IHS, just helping but appears you picked both Marist and Georgetown but no pick for the Bucknell-Sacred Heart game.

Going with all PL teams and will see what their records are. I hope they do good but I doubt it. I think they will show us yet again that this league is just not that good. It’s nice to schedule tough teams but some of these PL schedules are so far over their head.
HC gets no credit for beating any PL teams this year nationally. To win FCS playoff games HC needs credit nationally.
Also HC plays a lot of low rank teams to finish their schedule. Almost no room for error and hard to turn it up in the playoffs.
Looked back at an old thread about dropping football. HC used to be one of those bad teams but with the script flipped it’s frustrating.

BC by Referee Stoppage. Oops, this isn't the UFC, sorry.
Nebraska. Fordham gets a check and a bushel of corn.
Villanova. Why can't we get home games like this?
Georgetown. As predicted by the Marist Poll. Why can't we have a Poll?
Air Force. FADNP is awarded a model plane at halftime.
Bucknell. Bobby Valentine passes the hat for the new Sacred Heart hockey arena during the game.
Holy Cross. Former Ct. Governor John Rowland, the Father of Rentschler Field, picks up in the parking lot after the game as part of community service.

Sagarin has Connecticut as a 1 point favorite over HC. In contrast he's got bc beating Colgate by 49 Colgate’s picked dead last in the Patriot League so they could be at or quite near the absolute bottom of FCS while BC is picked a solid mid-pack ACC. Could be a 40 point margin by halftime even with a restrained offense and liberal subbing. Colgate knows and will execute the unspoken 3-rule gross mismatch strategy of (1) grinding the clock, (2) minimizing injury, and (3) picking up the check (ditto Bucknell and Lafayette).

I never met this guy Sagarin but he's calling it like I did - either a close loss by the Crusaders are an upset win. That guy's a genius!

boston college- this will not be pretty Nebraska-- this will not be pretty Villanova-- had a down year last year-expecting a bounce back Georgetown-- program is certainly better than it was a decade ago Air Force--this will not be pretty Sacred Heart--program has certainly improved Holy Cross-- this will be pretty

Again, so pleased to see my hunches dovetail with KY's programs and algorithms. But I have had a nagging feeling over the years that he just waits for my picks and doesn't even own a computer. After so many years of deceit, my cover is finally blown....
