AGS Top 25 Watch Guide – Week 6
Thursday, October 8th
Tennessee Tech at (18) Eastern Kentucky 7pm OVC Video
After a disappointing loss/almost win vs Kentucky, EKU will look to take out their frustrations against TN Tech.
Saturday, October 10th
(9) Northern Iowa at (1) North Dakota State 2pm CSNC/ESPN3/NBC ND
NDSU continues to show they’re still the top team in the land and will be tested for the second straight week vs a Top 10 opponent.
(3) James Madison at Towson 3pm SNY/CSCA/CSN (cable)/CAA Video
JMU is 5-0 for the first time in program history. They look for an easy road win at Towson.
Presbyterian at (4) Coastal Carolina 2pm ESPN3
Coastal looks to remain undefeated in an easy game against PC.
(5) Illinois State at (11) Youngstown State 7pm ESPN3
In what may end up being the AGS GOTW, IL State beat UNI last week and wants another statement win against Bo Pelini’s Penguins.
(ORV-26) Furman at (6) Chattanooga 1pm ESPN3
Chattanooga is slowly creeping back up to the top and wants a win against a quality opponent in Furman. FU wants to enter the Top 25 and this game will do that for them.
(ORV-29) Cal Poly at (7) Eastern Washington 4pm FSAZ/SWX TV
Cal Poly wants to avoid fading away against a top opponent in EWU.
(16) Indiana State at (8) South Dakota State 7pm ESPN3
A top matchup for the week in this MVFC game. SDSU had a disappointing 8th consecutive loss to NDSU. They look to prove they’re a top 10 team by beating IN State.
Weber State at (10) Montana 4pm Cowles Media (cable)/(ABC/FOX) MT/Big Sky Video
Montana is in the top 10 and should have an easy Big Sky opponent this week in Weber State.
(12) Fordham at Pennsylvania 1pm
Fordham lurks near the top 10, but look out Penn beat Villanova and wants to take down Fordham too.
(13) Liberty at Gardner-Webb 7pm ASN
Liberty beat “FBS in name only” Georgia State last week, whom they were favored to beat. They now begin Big South play against bottom dweller GW.
(14) Southeastern Louisiana at (17) McNeese State 7pm ESPN Extra/ESPN3/CST
This may be the biggest SL conference game of the season so far. Both teams want to secure their spots in the top 15 nationally with a statement win.
Incarnate Word at (15) Sam Houston State 7pm FCS (cable)
SHSU is slowly rebuilding after the Lamar upset. They shouldn’t have too much of a test against IWU.
(19) Portland State at North Texas 5pm http://www.conferenceusa.com/college…/?media=500422
Portland State could and just might go into Denton TX and come out with a win. This is a very bad UNT team that is just a glorified FCS team.
(24) William & Mary at (20) Villanova 12pm SNY/CSCA/CSN (cable)/CAA Video
After losing to a last second Blue Hens field goal, WM needs a statement win badly against VU. Meanwhile, VU wants to remain undefeated in CAA play and prove they’re a capable team without Robertson for the rest of the season.
Elon at (21) Richmond 3:30pm
Richmond looked impressive against Maine, but Maine also didn’t look very good. The Spiders will roll easily against bottom-third CAA team Elon.
(22) Harvard at Cornell 12pm CSNE/CSBA/ALT2/ASN
Harvard continues to win and win and win. Their SOS isn’t anything to write home about, but win they will continue to do.
Sacramento State at (23) Montana State 7pm RSRM/RSNW/RSSW
MSU was upset by NAU last week and badly needs to get back to winning or they can say goodbye to the Top 25.
Bye Week:
(2) Jacksonville State
(25) New Hampshire
Others Receiving Votes (26-30):
Idaho State at (27) North Dakota 2pm Midco
