Neither, actually.

On Del Val, I see them more than any other school and have seen every game for six years now.  I think this particular team has a lot of potential to do something special this year but also watched them play poorly (offensively at least) against FDU-Florham and Lycoming last year.  With that more moderated view in mind, I wanted to see how they'd handle Leb Val - a tough team playing well at home - and Del Val passed with flying colors.  Unfortunately there were very few upsets last week and nowhere to put Del Val...yet.

Albright was a little further down my radar until last week.  Like Del Val, I wanted to see what they'd do with Wilkes and they aced that test.  If I only had room for one team at this point, I'd go with Del Val based on the strength of non-conference opponents.  But, again, the lack of upsets didn't produce a lot of ballot turnover.



BOOOOOOOOO!!!   ;)     see your point although me thinks dvc should at least be ranked in the 20-25 range....

  If you look at the poll closely you'll see a number of teams  total vote numbers changed in the top 25 even though none lost. And a few teams changed places in the rankings as well
Football !!! The ultimate team sport. Anyone who plays DIII football is a winner...

All right, here's the slate of games for this week, probably highlighted by Albright at Lycoming.  Who ya got?

Albright at Lycoming
Lebanon Valley at Wilkes
FDU-Florham at Delaware Valley
King's at Widener

BAK4LVC

My predictions...

Albright 27, Lycoming 10 - Lions defense is possbily most underrated part of this team.  They may struggle to get Holmes going, but Kelly to Romig is almost impossible to stop.

Lebanon Valley 28, Wilkes 17 - Flying Dutchmen ground attack rolled up school record yards last year on Wilkes.  Rob Johnson will get his, but LVC prevails.

Delaware Valley 41, FDU-Florham 16 - Doubt the Aggies will get caught flat-footed two years in a row against FDU.

Widener 24, King's 7 - The Pride seem to be flying under the radar right now, but I've noticed.  A team to be reckoned with and should have little trouble dispatching the Monarchs at home.

first game is not easy to pick...albright coming off a big emotional game, and has a long trip up to lyco. and lyco had a tough time w/ kings last weekend. that being said lyco isnt sneaking up on people this year and teams have another year to see their off. and defense. albright and their qb are a little too strong for lyco and albright pulls it out in the 4th qtr. and  wins 21-17.

2nd game is interesting....can leb val pull themselves back together and not let last weekends loss ruin their season. wilkes had a very tough game/loss at albright. Initially i thought lvc might score a win here but they are going to have to prove to me they are ready for the bright lights... wilkes wins 28-24

3rd game is a revenge game...dvc better came out w/ a chip on their shoulder and deliver a payback for last years set back. they need to come out early and set the tone. they are a better team in every facet of the game and need to show it. dvc wins 31-14.

4th game...kings is coming off a tough loss to lyco and and widener is quietly going thru the mac this year w/ most of the focus on dvc/albright and lvc's solid start. widener is too tough at home. widener is going to win this game 28-10.

Yep, it's that time again.  If you can't make it to Doylestown tomorrow, please tune into...

Delaware Valley
vs.
FDU-Florham

Can the Devils do it to Del Val twice in a row?  Or will the Aggies delight the Family Day crowd?

BAK4LVC,

If you're in the house at Ralston today, track me down. I should be wearing jeans, and one of our team travel jackets from a few years back. Hope you enjoy the day :)

I was unable to make my first home coming since I have graduated.  I am stuck in South Korea working.  So I stayed up and listen to the game.  The only way to get the game was to listen to the LVC radio.  The announcers are not great.  I was not a fan of them.  The color guy I am not sure he knows that much about football.  The reason why is because he calls out a great CHOP block.  I think we all know that a CHOP block is illegal.  I think what he was meaning was a great CUT block.  I know it is minor but it upset me, there were a few times here and there they were not good.  But sorry for Wilkes.  I was hoping they won.  But I miss Homecoming.  My first time since I played and we won the Mac.  I have been here for 3 weeks and have listened to all their games and I thought they were going to do what my team did in 2006. But what can you do.  There is a lot of potential with the Wilkes team.  It is tough for me because I know Coach Shep is a great coach and he can work with what he has.  I believe in a few years Wilkes will be on top of its game again.  Let's go Wilkes.

Good job Albright.  Looks like the meat of the schedule is in front of them but it is nice to see a good team that can play defense as well as hang some points and yards.  Hope all of you in here are well as it has been awfully quiet in here this year.  Listened to the stream at work today and enjoyed it like old times.

wow...2 big wins today in the mac for lvc over wilkes and kings over widener...dvc took care of business and albright really man handled lyco by the score....

maAggie

Congrats Aggies on your win against FDU, beating a team you were expected to beat is a good sign! Keep it rolling!

kate

Congratulations to the Aggies on their win today.  Has anyone else noticed that both Johns Hopkins & Kean just keep winning, & they each have just one loss (at least i think Kean has just one) - and who handed them their loss?  Hopefully King's could maybe beat Albright next week?!?

Impressive win for LVC today at Ralston Field. It wasen't fancy, but the Dutchmen get it doen with a hard-nosed running game, and just enough of a passign game to keep it moving. I was also impressed with the LVC defense- they have always had size, but now more and more talent as well. It appeared they went to a 3-4 defense this year, and the loo apparently works. So to BAK4LVC and the rest, a tip of the hat from the blue and gold faithful.

Elsewhere, a very, very nice win for King's on the road- we all know how tough of a place it is at Quick Stadium. I fully expect Albright to slide into the Top 25 somewhere this week, as Pearson Field is always a great place to watch football, but a tough place to play...indeed a statement win. Apparently a good game with DVC-FDU as well...a good Aggies team breaks through to keep moving.

Cheers everyone!

Good points Gman, anyone with some thoughts on Kings this year and what to expect at Albright this week.  The suspence is finally starting to build.
