Here we go with another classic for your enjoyment:
#1)Catawba(4-0) Last week #3-Off this past Saturday and now the Indians will play this Thursday night at 8:05 on National Television(CSTV and FOX Sports South). Why is Catawba number one? They have won four and lost none with the scores coming in at 55-7 over Chowan, 34-7 over Elizabeth City State, 46-7 over Livingstone, and 46-7 past Fayetteville State.(Averaging 45.5 points per game and only giving up 7ppg)
#2)Wingate(4-0) LW4-Bulldogs had an open date last weekend and now are primed to move up to number one on Friday if Catawba falls on Thursday.
#3)Wake Forest(2-2) LW6-The Demon Deacons are the only saving grace for in-state ACC football fans after the OT win over Maryland. WFU could easily be 4-0 with very close losses to BC and Nebraska.
#4)Guilford College(3-1) LW2-The Quakers play in the ODAC(Obsolete Defense Athletic Conference) and with just a little bit of defense to go with Josh Vogelbach’s passing and Guilford is number one, but after Saturday night’s 56-49 loss the Quakers are running sprints in the 90-plus heat on this Monday afternoon.
#5)Appalachian State(3-1) LW1-The Mountaineers fell on the road 42-31(they are saying it wasn’t even that close) at Wofford and now they have to get up for Elon who has a very hot QB in Scott Riddle.
#6)Elon(2-1) LW10-Elon leveled Liberty 42-14 and now the Phoenix have set their sights set on Appalachian State and have a great chance to defeat the Neers with the EU connection of Riddle to WR Terrel Hudgins good for 4 TD’s last week in Burlington.
#7)East Carolina(1-3) LW5-Large loss by the Pirates to West Virginia and now I believe they have a trip to Houston followed by Central Florida at home coming up next.
#8)Duke(1-3) LW9-The 46-43 loss by the Devils to Navy was very close to a win for Duke and should lift their spirits as they prepare for their next loss.
#9)Greensboro College(1-2) LW10-The Pride falls hard to Maryville, Tennessee 24-7, but still have their most important game of the year coming up this Saturday night versus Guilford in The Soup Bowl at Jamieson Stadium.
#10)TIE:Winston-Salem State(2-2), N.C. State(1-3), and North Carolina(1-3). Life can be tough down at the bottom of the poll and it will get tougher to find a way to keep the Pack and Heels in the poll as the weeks move on.
*****Others to Watch:1)Big Ahmed’s Pizza and Sub 25th Reunion grunt, pass out, and get sick contest…..Too much cheese.
2)The Horseshoe Tournament All-State Team this coming weekend at John DiGorgio’s Pits.
3)In all seriousness, will they be able to continue the NC A&T Aggies/N.C. Central Eagles football series? Things got very ugly at Aggie Stadium Saturday night and is there any way at all that they can keep playing this game? It has gotten to point where it is unsafe and the actions by both teams have cast a black-eye throughout the historically-rich, tradition-laden Black College Football circles.
