                         GAMES OF INTEREST

LAST WEEKS GAMES OF THE WEEK: I listed no big games last week.
Last week was a pretty hum-drum one in I-AA.  I mentioned a few games that 
might be interesting.  The results:

The Citadel 25  Appalachian St. 0
Delaware 42  New Hampshire 22
Eastern Washington 32  Weber St. 14
James Madison 35  Northeastern 34

The Ivy League continued to own the Patriot League last week.  In 12 games
played the last two weeks the Ivy won 9.  Last week's results:

Colgate  34  Columbia 29
Dartmouth 44  Bucknell 14
Holy Cross 30  Harvard 7
Cornell 44  Lafayette 33
Penn 13  Fordham 10
Princeton 38  Lehigh 28

There are three more games this week:

Bucknell at Columbia
Dartmouth at Holy Cross
Fordham at Yale

GAMES OF THE WEEK FOR OCT. 10:  This week will more than make up for last week:

     #3. Eastern Kentucky at #17 Samford.  Samford is the most underrated
          team in I-AA right now.  My Prediction: Samford 24  E. Kentucky 21.

     #9. NE Louisiana at #13 McNeese St.: This is the game of the year in the
          Southland Conference.  Folks in Louisiana should see a dandy, and it
          is a toss-up.  My prediction: NE Louisiana 22  McNeese St. 20.

     #15 North Carolina A&T at #11 Florida A&M:  The game of the year in the
          Mid-Eastern Athletic.  And this one should be great as well.
          My prediction: NC A&T 35  Florida A&M 31.

UGLY GAME OF THE WEEK: Georgia Southern at Georgia

UPSET OF THE WEEK: Illinois St. over Youngstown St.

MY RECORD SO FAR: 3-2 in Games of the week (No predictions last week)
                  3-2 in picking upsets.  (Last week I was 0-1,
                  picking Marshall over Missouri).
