We should probably all be Elon fans this week. One of the only semi-tough FCS games William & Mary has the rest of the season. Regardless of who wins the SOCON, we need some teams that have easy paths to their auto-bid to lose an FCS game or two in order for the SOCON champ to have any chance at a seed come playoff time. The Tribe don't play any of the other top CAA schools as far as I can tell, as they avoid Villanova, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Delaware (all teams who are in or have been either in or ORV in polls). They will probably go 10-1 (losing to Virginia - maybe 11-0), win that league, and be the 2nd or 3rd best team in their own conference.
As far as rankings go, we should probably also pull for Campbell, too. NCCU is in most of the polls, and a loss would help the SOCON get other teams like UTC and Mercer into or moving up in the rankings.

I agree with every thing you said, but I think that W&M is the most overrated team in America. They played CSU the week before we did and only won by 8 points 15-7 and we dismantled CSU in short order. I wish W&M was on our schedule this year. I bet we could score 50 on them leaving no doubt. How they can be the number 4 team in FCS escapes me? CSU is not a terrible team and is not like Presbyterian. Up until they played us, their defense very good.
