We have reached the halfway mark of the 2018 season, so now these projections will start to carry some weight. This is a critical weekend, a lot of games that could carry significance going forward, notably the Eastern Washington-Weber State matchup. James Madison’s loss drops them to six in my bracket, but an Elon loss and they could get themselves back into the top four. The first official release from the committee of the top ten will come October 31st or November 1st.
Digest. Debate. Discuss.
