2015 FCS Top 10 Picks - Week 4

Last week I went 4-5 in the FCS Top 10 picks. I am finding that the FCS is very hard to predict. The FCS is filled with a lot of great football, but still doesn't get the attention that it deserves. Jacksonville State looks like the team that could stop the championship run of North Dakota State, but only time will tell. Here are my predictions for the Top 10 of Week 4.

#1 Jacksonville State vs Tennessee-Martin (Jacksonville State wins 24-8)

#2 Coastal Carolina vs Bryant (Bryant wins 18-16)

#5 Villanova vs Pennsylvania (Villanova wins 24-0)

#6 South Dakota State vs Robert Morris (South Dakota State wins 42-18)

#8 Chattanooga vs Presbyterian College (Chattanooga wins 26-10)

#9 James Madison vs Southern Methodist (James Madison wins 45-0)

#10 Liberty vs Southern Illinois (Liberty wins 21-17)

Week 1: 2-7 (.222%)

Week 2: 5-2 (.714%)

Week 3: 4-5 (.444%)

Some Thoughts About the SEMO vs Missouri Game

On September 5, 2015 I will be traveling to Columbia, MO to watch the SEMO Redhawks take on the Missouri Tigers. I am very excited about this game because I think this will be more competitive than many people are thinking it will be. The last time these two teams met was back in 2008 where Missouri came away with a 52-3 victory over the Redhawks. Fast forward seven years and both teams are very different. Missouri is now in the SEC, and has been having success. The Redhawks have a new coach, new quarterback, and a lot of healthy starters. A lot of people feel as though this is going to be a practice for the Missouri Tigers, which is fine, keep thinking that. This team isn't the same team from 2008, and it isn't the same team that many people joke about. This is a talented team that works hard and is very competitive. If they can stay healthy they should go far this year. People seem to think that because Missouri is in the SEC that they are automatically going to dominate SEMO. If you really think about it, Missouri hasn't done anything in the SEC that they haven't done in the Big 12. I have the utmost confidence in the Redhawks' ability to pull off a win in Columbia.

Some of you might be thinking, "How in the world do you see SEMO beating Missouri?" To that I say, why can't they win? Thee kids are the same age, they all know the game, they are all athletic, hard-working, they are all humans. The only thing different about SEMO and Missouri is that Missouri has more money, a bigger stadium, bigger fan base, and more national recognition. So to me there really isn't that big of a difference between the two. When they get on the field they are equals, men vs men. If SEMO goes into this game with complete confidence and not allowing any doubt in their mind that they can win. SEMO just needs to be focused, and play as one unit with high intensity. Everyone is doubting SEMO's chances except me and many of their fans. This will be the game to help put SEMO on the map. This game is the first step to a great 2015 season for the Redhawks. I am confident that Coach Tuke will have his team mentally and physically ready to take on the Tigers in Columbia. I can't wait for this game!
