PSAC Week Five Preview

Week Five of the season, and the second week of Divisional Games in the PSAC, is here. #3 Kutztown (4-0, 1-0 PSAC East) remained at the same spot in this week’s D2Football Top 25 Poll. #11 California (PA) (4-0, 1-0 PSAC West) moved up five spots this week after beating #16 Slippery Rock (3-1, 0-1 PSAC West) last Saturday. The Rock slid seven spots after the loss. Clarion (4-1, 0-1 PSAC West) lost to Edinboro last week dropping them from the ranks of the undefeated teams in the PSAC.

My PSAC Game of the Week for Week Five is a big one in the East. East Stroudsburg (3-1, 1-0 PSAC East) heads to West Chester (3-1, 1-0 PSAC East). The Warriors and Golden Rams are both in the hunt for the East title and both teams want this win before playing the #3 Kutztown Golden Bears down the road.
