MAC: MIAMI(ohio) is coming off a solid conference win over Buffalo and will need a big game from rushing game from Jaylon Bester to win at WMU, led by the big arm of J. Wassink. Miami(O) 31 WMU 30.
Sunbelt: ULL hosts App St in a battle of two teams off to nice starts. Ragas/Mitchell lead a potent rushing attack for the home team, but I'll roll with Zac Thomas to have a300 yard passing game in an App St 34 -32 win.
MWC: I'm taking Josh Love and the Spartans to get a home win over the sluggish Wolfpack. San Jose St 29 NEV 22
AAC: Navy looks like they're back in contention and Tulsa has been erratic. Tulsa will feed Brooks more carries and win a close one at home 23 20

Oct10- I was correct on App St but it was a low scoring game. Zac Thomas had two rushing TDs in the 17-7 App St win over ULL.

I was way off on Tulsa, wrong on Miami O and San Jose St, and spared from going 0fer for saturday by Marshall.Tulsa couldn't contain M.Perry, Navy's QB, who rushed for 218 yards and three TDs in a 45-17 win over Tulsa.
Gabbert threw three INTs, including a pick 6, in the Miami O 30-16 loss to W.Michigan. Bellamy rushed for two TDs and Wassink tossed two TDs for the Broncos.
Love threw for 405 yards but the his Trojan teammates rushed for only 34 yards in a 40-37 last play, Talton's 40 yard FG, loss to Nevada who were led by Taua's 160 rushing yards.
Knox rushed for 104 yards and a TD in the #herd's win over ODU.
Here's what caught my eye in some other games. W.Kentucky(CUSA) held Army to 8 points in a 17-8 win..The MWC is definitely a rocky road. Wyoming got tripped by SDST, FresnoSt couldn't handle Air Force, and UNLV pounded Vandy of the SEC.
NIU got a game ending field goal in a wild 4th quarter to edge Ohio 40-37 in MAC play.
oCT14: MWC geography and caliber of opponents fits AFA. ODD COMMENT from Air Force coach,Troy Calhoun, who questions Air Force’s placement in the Mountain West: “I don’t know if it’s really a match”
