Since Sammy has decided to compete with High School JV Games again this week, I would expect a huge crowd to be coming down to Macon from Homewood to scout the PorchYappers, their only competition for the SoCon Championship. Right? See y'all in Maconga!!! Samford 45
West Alabama 21 Furman 32

Wow. Samford up 35-7 at the half and the final score was 49-41. West Alabama had 522 yards of offense.
West Alabama threw 2 pick sixes and gave up a kick return for a TD. Without those, Samford would have been in bad shape. West Alabama QB threw for 464 yards. Yowza.

This is how FUBeAR sees it...
OK...Time to pick...
* West Alabama @ Samford - I think Samford will start OK, but struggle late. Defense will be poor and they won't be able to run the ball, but the HomewoodHounds eke out a 'victory' over a D2 program, 49-41.
* Wofford at Mercer - Bears O uses multiple weapons to score, Bears D makes 1 fewer mistakes than Woffy's O, Special Teams are a draw. Bears MAUL 'EM - 31-17.
* Elon at Furman - CAA Contending Birds-or-Something wish they were still Christian as they face a top-tier SoCon Team, but fail to put up much Fightin'. Paladins roll in the Home Debut for Coach Hendrix 49-10.
* Catawba at VMI - The Catawba Indians (and they still are called Indians) play good ball, but VMI struggles less with this D2 opponent than Samford did with theirs. KeyRoos take it 31-14.
* Presbyterian at CIT at Presbyterian - Well, continuing with a theme, now that the Bellhops have struggled and squeaked by their D2 opponent, they face an opponent that should be D3...or D4. LuggageSchleppers 35-0
* ETSU at James Madison - Someone say theme? Welp, another SoCon team struggling with a D2 opponent last week, but winning...as all of them have, the Bucs get drawn & quartered in Harrisonburg. Dukes 63-7.
* Davidson at WCU - Dang you Catamounts - Shoulda scalped those RainbowWarriors...ended up KICKING your own A$$. Won't happen this week. Davidson belongs in D5. PurpleKitties GO BIG 77-0.
* UTC at LSU - At least the Mocs are playing some real Football Teams. They looked anemic against the Cocks and I do not like the 'vibe' I'm getting from their program right now. That said...nah...BayouBengals ROAR 51-14.
OK...Time to PowerRank
Based on the 1st week or so and my picks above...I see things quite a bit different than the 'chalk' I see most of you posting. Doesn't make me right...just makes me unique...unless....we'll see...
1) Mercer - that's right, after they knock off the AnkleSnappers this week, they move to the top of the heap
2) Furman - yep - they almost took down the ProjectedChamp...while they were still learning how their Coaches would act on game day. Dins gonna make a DIN in the SoCon this year!
3) Wofford - Hey, I didn't say they weren't good.
4) A D2 Team that some SoCon Team hasn't struggled with...yet...the NewWest AlaStoneBerry NotPoliticallyCorrects...maybe
5) Reinhardt
6) WCU - hopefully, they held a joint job fair with Georgia Tech and fixed their Kicking situation...I like their Offense and I THINK their D is going to be better
7) Chatt - they may come together...or they may unravel fastly and furiously and spend ANOTHER 40 years wandering in the wilderness
8) CIT - Playing 63 FR vs. D2 and should be D3 Teams ain't showing us much. Banished to here until they play someone
9) EDIT - Add - Samford - I almost forgot to include them since they've adopted their All Thursday High School JV Schedule....looking bad BullPups. DE-FENSE / RUN THE DANG BALL!!!!
10) ETSU - Just hang-on...I see the Bucs upsetting some folks, but later...
11) VMI - Reminded me of the Republican Guard on the Highway of Death in their trip to Colorado Springs. Do. Better. Roos.
