Paul Prattles On

Welcome Back! Before I talk about the rankings, there are 2 early games this week. Hopefully, I'll do better this week than last on these early contests... Tuesday, October 31 MACtion is back! Northern Illinois @ Central Michigan - The Chippewas lead the series 32-25-1, winning 3 of the last 4, and 7 of the last 9, including 35-22 last year, but the Huskies won the last time they played in Mount Pleasant. NIU is 4-4/3-1, and 2-2 on the road (win at Boston College and a loss at Nebraska), with wins over Ohio, EMU (by 7), and at Akron (by 41), and a loss at Toledo. CMU is 4-4/2-2, and 3-0 at home, with wins over EMU (by 3) and Akron (by 7) and losses at Buffalo and Ball State. Strange things happen on week nights in the MAC, but the Huskies should win this to stay right behind Toledo in the MAC West. Buffalo @ Toledo - The Rockets lead the series 7-6, but the Bulls have won the last 3 (since 2018), including 34-27 last year in Buffalo. Toledo has won 5 of the 6 games played at home,

Welcome Back! What another exciting weekend of games! There were a few upsets, including a major one, and a whole bunch of close games, as there were few routs. Out of 133 teams, 108 participated, which means 25 teams took the weekend off. Of those 108 teams, none played an FCS team (3rd week in a row), meaning there were 54 FBS vs FBS games.  That's a lot of games to review. So let's get to the recaps! FBS Teams who Defeated FCS Teams Like They Should Have There were no FBS vs FCS games this week. FBS Teams Who Struggled With FCS Teams There were no FBS vs FCS games this week. FBS Teams Who Lost To FCS Teams There were no FBS vs FCS games this week. FBS vs FBS Games New Mexico State eked by La Tech 27-24. The Aggies are in 3rd place in CUSA, a half-game behind Jax State, who's ineligible. This puts NMSU in line to make the CUSA Championship Game with a chance for a rematch with Liberty for the title. Liberty clinched a berth in the CUSA Title Game with a 42-29 win over W
