PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania -- Normally, with just four weeks remaining in the 2012 season, much of the
attention in the FCS goes to the power conferences. Everyone wants to know which
teams from the top conferences will make the postseason or earn a playoff seed.
In Week 9, however, two games taking place in the SWAC and the MEAC also deserve a
share of the spotlight.
It's a huge week for black college football with the SWAC's Alabama A&M
playing Alabama State in the 71st Magic City Classic and Bethune-Cookman hosting
the MEAC's biggest surprise this season, North Carolina Central, with first
place up for grabs.
Although the SWAC has been somewhat inconsistent and crazy this season, Alabama
A&M and Alabama State have remained constant threats for the Eastern
Division title. It seems whenever these teams meet in such a historic HBCU
rivalry game, the winner almost always controls its destiny on the way to
earning a shot in the SWAC title game.
