                         GAMES OF INTEREST

LAST WEEKS GAMES OF THE WEEK: NE Louisiana 13   SW Texas St. 6

GAME OF THE WEEK FOR OCT. 3: Well, this is a slow week in Div. I-AA.  No ranked
teams play each other, and there are not any games that just beg to be talked 
about.  I will not make any predictions; however, there are some games that
should be worth the price of admission.  These are:

The Citadel at Appalachian St.
Delaware at New Hampshire
Weber St. at Eastern Washington
Northeastern at James Madison

Also: This is the second week of the Patriot-Ivy challenge.  The six Patriot 
League schools play six of eight Ivy League schools.  So far the Ivy League 
holds a 5-1 advantage.  Games this week are:

Colgate at Columbia
Bucknell at Dartmouth
Harvard at Holy Cross
Lafayette at Cornell
Penn at Fordham
Princeton at Lehigh

These should be entertaining games with a lot of charm for the football 
sentimentalist.

UGLY GAME OF THE WEEK: Tennessee-Chattanooga at Clemson.

UPSET OF THE WEEK: Marshall over Missouri.  Maybe this isn't going very far out
on a limb: Marshall is 3-0 and #1 in I-AA; Missouri is 0-3.  But Missouri is
I-A and from the Big 8, and most people would be suprised if they lost the
game.  Marshall will not only win this game, they will give Missouri their
worst defeat of the year to date.

MY RECORD SO FAR: 3-2 in Games of the week.
                  3-1 in picking upsets.  (Last week I was 2-0,
                                           picking Citadel over Army and
                                           N. Iowa over Iowa St.)
