TALLAHASSEE, Florida  --  There are a lot of exciting games to highlight this week making it hard to cite just one as the game of the week. Hurricane Sandy, no relation to the Miami Hurricanes, may be the biggest factor for games along the east coast, particularly the Carolinas where Sandy is projected to land. We have Alabama A&M versus Alabama State, sure to be one of the more exciting games in the FCS and likely to be one of the most attended games. Bethune Cookman plays host to surprise team North Carolina Central. Under a relatively new coach the Eagles are threatening to take over the MEAC. Expect BCU to have something to say about that. Undefeated Cal Poly, who has only been contested by FBS Wyoming, will take on conference member Sacramento State, a potential runner up in the Big Sky Conference. Earlier in the season Cal Poly beat North Dakota State, yet Cal Poly is still ranked lower. I thought only historically black colleges received that kind of treatment. Now you know why I started a SportsEdit fan poll.

Tennessee State is at home against Tennessee Tech. If Sandy doesn’t interfere the Tigers should win handily though strange things are known to happen in the OVC. The Tigers shouldn’t lose another regular season game provided they aren’t outcoached by anyone. The decision to make it to the playoffs is totally in their hands. Towson at 4-2 continues to be ranked in the top 25, maybe until now. This Saturday they play underrated Villanova. This is another game with playoff implications. Expect ‘Nova to rise to the occasion.
