What are the games of the week this week?

[EveryCatAWildman]

Ouachita Baptist @ Southern Arkansas - first time this matchup has been played in Magnolia in 9 years. The previous 3 times S Arkansas was to host it was held in El Dorado as part of Murphy USA Classic.

West Alabama @ West Florida - series tied 4-4, West AL trying to build on their fast start to the season.

Missouri Western @ Emporia - interesting to see if there is a let down from emporia after their big road win last week.

Arkansas Tech @ Henderson - does Ark Tech catch Henderson looking ahead to their big matchup with Harding next week?

Central Oklahoma @ Nebraska-Kearney - these teams were picked 7th and 10th in the conference - one of them is going to start off 3-0.

Central Missouri @ Davenport - probably the best non-conference match up this week. It's a long trip for UCM and Davenport hasn't lost to anybody not named Ferris or Grand Valley in over two years.

Bemidji @ Sioux Falls - two historically good teams that are usually in contention for a playoff spot.

Virginia Union @ JC Smith - it wasn't that long ago JC Smith couldn't win 2 games all season. They are 3-0 and got a postseason bowl game last year. I'm interested to see if they can hang with VUU which has been the class of the CIAA for a decade.

Minot State @ Minnesota State will be an interesting one. The last time Minot started a season 3-0 was over 20 years ago, when they were still NAIA. I can't say I expect them to beat the mighty Mavericks, but depending on how close they can keep the score, it could tell us whether they just got lucky with an easy schedule draw or if they actually came to play.

There's another big game in the CIAA this week. Winston-Salem State at Virginia State

NSIC -

Bemidji/Sioux Falls
Wayne/Winona

My personal GOTW - the battle of the MSUs. I think Kato runs away with it, but we'll get to see what this Minot team is made of.

[SW_Mustang]

Minot @ Mankato fell a bit flat. 40-6 Mavericks.

There's another big game in the CIAA this week. Winston-Salem State at Virginia State

The two CIAA games ended up going down to the wire. WSSU hit a FG with 3 seconds left to win over VA State 15-14, and JCSU fought off a late surge by VUU and was able to run the clock out to win 21-16.

[Predatory Primates]

Emporia/ MoWest was a great game.

[Predatory Primates]

Pitt/Washburn was insane. The first quarter was like nothing I've ever seen.

#23 Wingate at Carson-Newman was a great game. 31-28 in OT.

[SW_Mustang]

For the upcoming week in the NSIC - Augustana and Moorhead is the game to watch. And the only one this week since Wayne has a bye.

[LegalRam]

In the CIAA this week the Bowie State at WSSU and the Fayetteville State at VA State games will probably be two competitive games to watch.

[Divisiontwo]

Henderson travels to Harding Saturday. Will potentially be wet with remnants of hurricane moving our way.

[Predatory Primates]

UCO/Hays and ESU/NW could both be really good games in the MIAA.

As for the unsung game. I think Washburn at MoWest could be a good game between 2 teams who are probably better than their records show.

[cwfenn]

New Haven is at Bentley on Saturday. Possibly the game that decides the NE10, although Assumption will also have a lot to say about it before the season is over.

[canadarican]

SAC game of the week is probably Wingate and Mars Hill, though Limestone and Emory & Henry may be good.

**Limestone and Emory & Henry will be free to watch on Flo youtube channel.
