The Blogalicious College Football Games of the Week

Friday - Montana at James Madison. The only time these teams have played each other was in 2004, when the Dukes took the 1-AA title 31-21. So there's not a lot of history to go on, and both teams have played very well over the course of the season, each taking only one loss (JMU to Duke, Montana to Weber State). I'll do the semi-homerish thing and go with the team that plays in the conference that BU would be playing in if they still had football. Makes about as much sense as anything else I'd do. Score: James Madison 31, Montana 27

Saturday (noon) - Wheaton (IL) at Mount Union. Mount Union won its first Div III national title in 1996, and have only not made the title game since then three times. A win here would set up the first half of a potential fourth title game against Wisconsin-Whitewater, which I have to assume is going to happen. Score: Mount Union 47, Wheaton 18

Saturday (1 PM) - Minnesota-Duluth v. Northwest Missouri State (at Florence, Alabama). More semi-homerism in favor of commenters. Bridesmaids no more! Score: Northwest Missouri 57, Minnesota-Duluth 34

Saturday (2 PM) - Jackson State at Grambling State. No matter how you slice it, the Tigers are going to take the SWAC title. Score: Tigers 31, Tigers 23

Saturday (4 PM) - Richmond at Northern Iowa. ESPN has apparently run out of poker to show, as this will be on the WWL. Maybe they can get Lon and Norm to call the game; I'm looking forward to Norm's jokes comparing his ex-wife to various offensive linemen. Score: Northern Iowa 27, Richmond 10

Last week: 5-1
Season: 64-38
