Week 14 O5 title games

AAC- Temple 22 @ Navy 31.  Both teams have been playing well, but I don't see the Owls, who lost to Army's triple option earlier this season,  slowing down the Navy triple option.
CUSA: Western Kentucky 41 La Tech 23 Two good receivers named Taylor, but Taywan of #wku will be more of a factor than Trent of #louisianatech.
MAC- Western Michigan 34 Ohio 17. Terrell, Franklin, and  Davis  bring too much offense for Ohio to handle.
MWC: San Diego St 27 Wyoming 16. #pumphrey of #sdst will exploit a a banged up Cowboys D.
SunBelt: Troy 24 Georgia Southern 15  Chunn churns out big yards on the ground  in a tough win for Troy who ties @appst for the Sunbelt crown.

Dec 3

#wmu (13-0), the MAC champs,  should be be picked for the Cotton Bowl. Terrell to Davis was solid again for WMU, but they needed a last minute interception  of Ohio QB Windham, who had tossed three TDs, to survive 29-23.
Dec 4
AAC: Owls shut down Navy's rushing attack.. Props to Temple on the 34-10 win .
CUSA:Even less D than I expected as #wku defeated La Tech 58-44. Also more rushing as Anthony Wales (wku) rushed for 209 yards and four touchdowns.
MWC: Pumphrey & Penny led a strong SDST rusihing attack to a 27-24 win over Wyoming Jake Allen tossed 3 TDs in a losing efffort.
SunBelt: Kevin Ellison threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more in  Georgia Southern's win over Troy 28-24. Tro fell out of first as APPST and ark st ended the season tied  for first.
Three out of five for the week  #wmu  #sdst #wku

Week 13 key O5 matchups

AAC: Temple and USF are tied for first in the East.Temple should handle ECU, but USF  will get another  monster game from QB #Quentin Flowers and beat an improved UCF squad. USF lost to Temple a few weks ago.
CUSA: WKU beat ODU a few weeks ago and owns a tie breaker in the East and should handle the #herd. D Washington of #odu will toss a few TDs in a  win over #FIU.
MAC: #westernmichigan will survive a battle from Toledo and move one step closer to the #accessbowl. Terrell to Davis aerial show will be the key for #wmu.
MWC: #wyoming owns the tiebreaker over #boise st in the East  but needs to get by #UNM while Boise plays #afa.. #joshallen will  toss a few TDs and the Cowboys will outlast the Lobos.
SUNBELT: #arkst should handle ull and hold onto first place, while second place #appst  and pound #marcuscox will rush to a win over a #nmst, a team with more offnese than defense.
BTW, #arkst and appst didn't play each other this season.

Nov 26

MAC: #wmu is one win away from a New Years Day bowl game. Woodside and Hunt put up up good numbers for #toledo, but a big rushing day from Bogan plus decent stats from the Terrell to Davis aerial show  pushed #wmu to a 55-35 winand on to next week's title game against #ohio, who owns the tiebreaker over #miamiohio in the East.

MWC: Air Force special teams and D were the  keys on Friday. Tyler Weaver returned a blocked punt 11 yards for a touchdown in the first half, and the Falcon D had a late goal -line stand to beat No. 19 Boise State 27-20 .

Nov 27

Head to head matters
AAC- Temple and USF won yesterday but the Owls are moving on to face Navy in the AAC title game.
CUSA- La Tech played poorly in a loss to USM but face a scorching #wku squad in the CUSA final.
MWC- Wyoming was pounded 56-35 by New Mexico but will limp into the title game against SD St. 
Sunbelt: Wrong about arkst. appst ended their regular season beating the Ags easily 37-7 and are a half game up in first  over  arkst and troy.

Week 12 Other 5 matchups

AAC: UCF and Tulsa need this game to stay in their respective divisional races. Evans will toss Tulsa to 40-30 win.
CUSA: #ODU QB David Washingtomn will lead the Monarch to a win over FAU to keep them within a game of idle #wku.
MAC: #Ohio needs to win at #cmu to keep ahead of Miami (OH) in the East. Maybe #rush tosses a few TDs but Ohio survives.
MWC: look for #pumphrey to rush for 200 yards  for #sdst , and burst the #wyomingcowboys title hopes.
Sunbelt: #troy hosts #arkst to end the tie atop the league.I'll roll the dice on Chunn to have a big rushing game in a #troy win

Nov 16

MAC-Nailed the #cmu  27-20 win over #ohio.  Rush threw two touchdown passes to Tyler Conklin, and Sean Bunting intercepted a pass in the end zone with 34 seconds left.
SunBelt- Good thing I don't bet on my hunches. Chunn was kept in check and #arkst rolled #Troy 35-3. Stellar special team and D play as Chris Humes caught a 31-yard pass on a fake punt and recovered a fumble in the end zone.

Nov 20

AAC- Evans was decent but it was Tulsa's rushing attack: #D'AngeloBrewer ran for 167 yards and two touchdowns, and #JamesFlanders ran163 yards that carried them to a 35-20 win over UCF.
CUSA- Nailed the #ODU game :David Washington threw for 416 yards and five touchdowns in the #odu 42-24 win over #fau.
MWC: #wyoming QB Josh Allen had a great second half and the Cowboys D stopped a two point conversion  attempt by #sdst to win 34-33. #pumphrey , #sdst RB and a dark horse Heisman contender, did not score and rushed for 76 yards.

Week 10 O5 matchups

AAC : Temple has slowly recovered from a tough conference loss to Memphis three weeks ago and should handle  the UConn Huskies easily to stay in contention with USF for first in East. Ryquell Armstead will have another stellar rushing game for the Owls
CUSA: Stocksill to James  connection should power MTSU over UTSA to keep pace with WKU in the East.
MAC:  Miami of Ohio has an improving QB named #Gus Ragland who will lead them over CMU
MWC: Josh Allen will lead  the  surprising Wyoming Cowboys  to a win over struggling Utah St and stay undefeated in the East
SunBelt: Arkansas St will eke out a win behind the arm of Justice Hansen  and stay undefeated in conference play

Nov 4 review

I was right on #ArkSt but for the wrong reasons. Arkansas State blocked two kicks and scored on two returns,. and  Johnston White ran for two TDs to beat Georgia State 31-16 last night.

Nov 5 review

Nailed the MAC game: Ragland's 4 TD passes lifts Miami (Ohio) over CMU 37-17
Should've and did get AAC game correct but mildly surprised by the Owls "pitching" a 21-0 shutout.

Nov 6 review

CUSA: So wrong on MTSU. UTSA continued its remarkable season under first year head coach Frank Wilson.   Jarveon Williams ran for 108 yards and three touchdowns as Texas-San Antonio rolled to a 45-25 win.
MWC: Josh Allen passed tossed four touchdowns and Brian Hill rushed for 142 yards to lead Wyoming over Utah State 52-28 . Cowboys are 5-0 atop the East.

Week 8 O5 top matchups

AAC: Post-Fuente #Memphis led by QB Ferguson have been better than expected but the improving #Navy squad will survive at home.
CUSA: Erratic #fiu has a better conference record than #louisianatech. , but La Tech will win on the road behind  Higgins arm.
MAC: #wmu should handle #emu on it's way to a possible #accessbowl invitation. Eastern Michigan QB Porter may toss a TD or two to keep them in a game  with Fleck's Broncos.
MWC: #joshallen will toss for 300+ yards on the road and #wyoming will outlast #nevada
SunBelt: #MattLinehan  #IDAHO (132-227, 1589 YDS, 8 TD) vs #appst Jalin Moore  (124 CAR, 660 YDS, 5 TD). I haven't lost my football  mind but can't deny that the Vandals of Idaho are 2-1 in conference play and will take Appalachian st to the brink before losing 24-23.

Oct 22 2016

Pushing #Pumphrey for the Heisman Donnel Pumphrey  #SDSU (24 CAR, 135 YDS, 2 TD) in last night's win over #SJST. 2016 season stats: rushing (1246 yards  , 13 tds)  receiving : 20 receptions for 145 yards.
Oct 23, 2016 Five for five on my picks.
AAC:  Navy 42 Memphis 28 Clawless Tigers D gave up 42. Big game for Navy RB Will Worth
(31 CAR, 201 YDS, 3 TD)
CUSA: LT 44 FIU 24. Higgins to Taylor show was great again , and L Tech played some D.
MAC: #wmu 45 #emu 31. Terrell to Thomphson  aerial show was too much. but Coach Fleck has to be concerned about giving up 31 points, and allowing Roback to toss for 311yards.
MWC-   It was Nevada QB Gangi who tossed for 300 + but the Cowboys found a rushing attack and won 42-34.
SunBelt: Another solid game from  Moore in #appst 37-19 win over Idaho. AppSt is 3-0 in the Sunbelt.

Week 7 O5 conference matchups

Five more hunches:
AAC: UConn's win over Cincy will give  them "mo" but  #USF QB Q #flowers will lead the Bulls to a 27-17 home win
CUSA: #MTSU (Stocksill to James)  will eke out a home win over #WKU (White to Taylor). Who knows maybe one of these squads finds some  D. MTSU 34 WKU 33
MAC : #zachterrell, will lead #WMU, to a big win on the road at Akron which keep them in line for #accessbowl. 29-28.  Woodson will keep it close for the Zips.
MWC: After a brutal non-conference start, Hawaii is now 2-0 in conference and   hosts #unlv. Diocemy Saint Juste will rush the  Warriors to a 27-17 victory over the visitng #Rebels.
SunBelt: Manning (GAS) /Silvers(Troy) shootout  or does Chunn (Troy) run wild at home? Troy 20 #georgiast 17


Cancellations: 
AAC news: The impending crest of the #TarRiver is expected to impact Greenvilleand has caused the cancellation of the ECU/NAVY. #Nov19. #navy @ #ecu makeup day
SunBelt news: #southalabama except 1.5 million to cancel it's Nov 19 game at LSU, which leaves them with an 11 game schedule for now. BTW, USA has upset #mississippist and #sandiegost this season.

October 15 #MWC news
#Pumphrey for the Heisman. He  run for 220 yards and two Tds in #sandiegost win over Fresno St last night.  1111 yards and 11 tds this season

Oct 17 review

AAC: #usf 42 #uconn 27. Coach Taggart continues to dismiss his naysayers. I was spot on about Flowers(16 CAR, 157 YDS, 3 TD)  herding  the #usf  Bulls to victory. #Shireffs threw for 306 yards and two TD for UConn.
CUSA: I was correct on a one point victory but picked the wrong team #mtsu. Brent Stockstill  MTSU(42-54, 434 YDS, 3 TD) had a great game, but #wku rushing game led by Anthony Wales  
(27 CAR, 158 YDS, 3 TD) won out 44-43 thanks to a blocked PAT in OT
MAC: #wmu 41 #akron 0 I was correct on #wmu but  didn't foresee Akron's lack of zip. #JarvionFranklin  WMU (33 CAR, 281 YDS, 1 TD)
MWC: #UNLV had a solid final five minutes with Lexington Thomas scoring on a 34-yard TD run and Pantels kicking the go-ahead field goal . #unlv 41  #hawaii 38. Hawaii QB #drubrown was solid in a losing effort. My one incorrect pick this week.
SunBelt: Manning to Boyd GAS connection was great but  Silvers, the Troy QB,  tossed two fourth quarter TDS for a Troy 31  GAS  21 victory.
