Week four is now in the books, and it's time to look ahead to week five. Considering last weeks game upsets, is anyone really safe this week?
We've got some out-of-conference action, as well as some conference games this week. Here are the games to pick your winners and losers this week.....
Mercer at VMI
Western Carolina at Furman
The Citadel at Towson
Wofford at Gardner-Webb
Samford at Kennesaw State
Chattanooga at ETSU

I was only 1-3 last week, so I'll try to be a little more realistic with this one.
Mercer at VMI - Another close loss for the Keydets - 31-28
Western Carolina at Furman - 42 - 35 - Cats win! Cats win!
The Citadel at Towson - Bellhops not successful here - lose 27-20
Wofford at Gardner-Webb - Poor Bulldogs have another tough year - Large Chihuahuas win 49-14
Samford at Kennesaw State - If Sammy is going to make anything of this season, they MUST win Saturday - 35-31
Chattanooga at ETSU - Bucs take the shine off the Mocs (do moccasins shine?) - 24-21

Mercer at VMI
- before last week's games, I would have picked Mercer in a blowout - but I can see the Kedyets winning in Lexington
Western Carolina at Furman
- Early in the season, I thought this would be a loss, now I'm not so certain - if the Cats can find a defense
The Citadel at Towson
- I'll take the dogs on the road
Wofford at Gardner-Webb
- short haired down win unless they have a major breakdown Boiling Springs
Samford at Kennesaw State
- While the Owls have played weak opponents, they've put up BIG numbers, too bad for the Bulldogs
Chattanooga at ETSU
- Game of the Day in the SoCon - I think we'll know a little more about each team, Mocs squeak by with a win

Don't know if this will change anybody's mind, but the really good RS FR QB who took over at Mercer appears to be out indefinitely with a broken collarbone suffered at the end of the Citadel game. We know that Riley is more than capable to step-in and play well (Offensive Freshman of the Year last season), and he came into the season as the expected starter. But the Riddle kid was shaping up to be something special - hate it for him, especially as he had already redshirted. Will be interesting to see if he can get a medical waiver and another year with the new rules.
