Tuesday before Towson--Sept 28th, 2010

Matty Vautour says the 2010 schedule favors UMass. I still think Stony Brook has a chance at the Big South title. If they do, that would make six potential playoff teams on the Minutemen's schedule -----plus Michigan.

The UMass website has excerpts from this week's CAA teleconference by Coach Morris and by Towson's HC Rob Ambrose.

In The Sports Network poll, UMass and William & Mary have identical records. The Tribe lost ot UMass head-to-head. William &Mary lost to UMass and the Minutemen lost to Michigan. We are ranked one slot behind them.

The FCS Coaches Poll has the same standings.

UMass dropped to #5 in Keepers College Football Ratings.

Keeper does have UMass by 22.09 over Towson.
