Wow that was a quick ten weeks, and now it's time for Rivalry Week. As a side note I think they should flip some north games as Bowie v. Lincoln and Chowan v. ECSU would make more sense to play this week.

Livingstone at Johnson C Smith - For the Commemorative Classic I've gone back and forth but I feel LC has the better D so I'm going with the Blue Bears.
Shaw at St. Augustine's - On paper this year's Raleigh Classic shouldn't be close but this is a true rivalry game so anything could happen. However, I'm playing it safe and going with Shaw.
Lincoln PA at Chowan - In what I'm referring to as the Lion Hawk Cup, I can't imagine Chowan losing here but I also didn't think they could lose to ECSU. This season has been a let down in the second half, but I think a win might still be a school record for Chowan since moving to D2.
ECSU at Bowie State - In the "Original Non VA Northern Schools Classic" I expect Bowie to run away with this one quickly and rest their starters. Might be a little closer depending on the status of Bowie's QB.
Virginia State at Virginia Union - In another true rivalry, and the game formerly known as the Gold Bowl, and what I refer to as the Saint Paul's Memorial Classic I think this could go either way. I'll go with Union but wouldn't be surprised with a VSU win.
WSSU at Fayetteville State - In the Rivals by Default Battle it pains me to say it but I'm picking UNCFSU. After how this game has played out over the last few years anything is possible in this game from a blowout victory for either team to a last minute scoring drive to pull out victory for the winning squad. However, I have to go with the smart pick.

Been thinking that too. IIRC Murfreesboro is even further north within the state of NC that Elizabeth City is. Not actually sure of the distance between Chowan and ECSU without checking Google, but I'd assume they are the closest conference opponents of each other.

Don't follow CIAA basketball closely, but was told that Bowie State vs Lincoln is a pretty good basketball rivalry. Perhaps that could translate to football as well? (shrugs)
