LAST WEEKS GAME OF THE WEEK: #5 N. IOWA 21    #15 MCNEESE ST. 18

GAME OF THE WEEK FOR SEPT. 19:

 Two to choose from:

#4t NE Louisiana (1-1) at #6 Eastern Kentucky.  The two schools playing in this
game have three I-AA natl championships between them.  It will be a titanic
showdown between two excellent running backs--EKU's Markus Thomas and NELa's
Roosevelt Potts.  Both are probably going to be 1st-team All Americans.  If you
like to watch "smash-mouth" football, this game is for you.
MY PREDICTION: Both teams will be in the playoffs at the end of the year, and
we may see a rematch.  EKU is a rebuilding team, and are probably overrated at
this point.  Besides, NELa has already shown that they can beat a team that is
nicknamed the Colonels (Nicholls St.).  Look for NE La to win a close one on
the road, 28-26.

#11 Weber St. at # 9 Idaho: The Game of the Year in the Big Sky.  The winner of
this game is on the fast track to the league crown.  Look for a high scoring
game.  Weber St. QB Jamie Martin is phenomenal.
MY PREDICTION: No one will stop Jamie Martin this season.  But Idaho has what
it takes to slow him down.  I pick Idaho, 52-41.

UGLY GAME OF THE WEEK: Florida A&M at Miami (Fla).

UPSET OF THE WEEK:  Alcorn St. over #7 Alabama St.

MY RECORD SO FAR: 1-1 in Games of the week.
                  0-1 in picking upsets.

                            I-AA TOP 20

NOTE: For some bizarre reason, the I-AA football committee will not be
releasing a new top-20 for another week.  In the meantime, I am going
to use the preseason top 20, since it is the only thing I have to work with.
