Four O5 picks for the Halloween weekend

 AAC-  It's not the marquee matchup, but Tulsa is a team worth watching. After a tough 16-7 loss to OK St , they've had impressive wins over UCF and USF and will stay hot with a 34  -22 win over ECU behind Zach Smith's passing.
CUSA- Don't look now but UTSA(4-3, 2-1 C-USA) has been playing decent with Sincere McCormick(155 CAR, 867 YDS, 7 TD). FAU(1-1, 1-1 C-USA) has been erratic. UTSA 27 FAU 17.
MWC- Boise St  will get enough passing from Bachmeier to survive the Air Force rushing attack  and win 30-29
Sunbelt- Undefeated Coastal Carolina  will stay that way with a 24-22 win over Georgia St. regardless of  McCall being able to start at QB.

I didn't select this game but Kennedy III rushed for two TDs for Georgia Southern in the 4th quarter in a 24-17 win over South Bama.

Tulsa scored 34  and won , as I predicted, TUL 34 ECU 30. Ahlers , the ECU QB, put up betters stats than Zane Smith of Tulsa, but a late rushing TD by Wilkerson gave  Tulsa the W.

FAU's D held UTSA to three points so  I was got that one wrong.  Sears, not Bachmeir, led BSU to a 49-30 win over AFA. Coastal Carolina 51 GSU 0. WTH happened. Mccall passed for 4 TDs and 280 yards, Georgia St passed for 30 yards. 
CUSA Note: Rice 30 USM 6. Southern Miss is on its third HC this season. #ScottyWalden , the interim HC , left for the job at Austin Peay few days ago

  1. May have gotten the FL teams confused...FAU vs UTSA. FIU was supposed to play my HERD. No big deal, I can't keep'em straight. Anyways, I think FAU beats UTSA. Could be a good CUSA game to follow.

    1. Saw FAU won. They will probably be ok with their new coach. The postponement was "killer" for the Herd. LOL..."Herd Faithfull" weren't happy. It is messing with the CUSA Championship standings and game dates. I know dates are being saved in Dec to make up conference games but the fans are enjoying the rankings as well.

    2. Gonna say it: Cincinnati is the best G5 school this year. They crushed Memphis...49 - 10! BTW, I need to start tracking Costal Carolina. They destroyed GA St...51-0! App St plays Costal on 11/21.

  3. @ robert CCU/APP will be a must see game. Right now I consider Cincy in the F4

    1. BTW, can Cincy play in the playoff? Being a G5 team, I thought they could only get the ACCESS bowl (given to the highest ranked G5 team). The famous "throw'em a bone" gift from the P5 schools.

  4. @robert Maybe Cincy gets a COvid credit
