    So many interesting match-ups from Friday to Sunday. Some of the overrated chaff is going to be exposed, I think.

    My 5 favorite games of the weekend, in no order.

    1 - James Madison vs. UCSB - Both are undefeated, and well-regarded mid-major teams. UCSB seems to really be on the rise. UCSB has 14 goals in three games and JMU has allowed 1 goal in four games (albeit against a soft schedule). Who is for real? FRIDAY 4:30 @St. Louis

    2 - Notre Dame vs. Furman - Are the Irish for real? Their results so far don't seem to justify their sky-high NSCAA ranking. Furman's been crushing a lot - will that continue against UND and Bradley? SUNDAY 1:30 @Notre Dame

    3 - UCLA vs. San Diego - Clash of undefeateds. This would really be a statement win for San Diego if they can get it, and UCLA may not be as good as their ranking. SUNDAY 1:00 @UCLA

    4 - Brown v. North Carolina - Brown is the favorite to win the Ivy again, but this weekend is their first action of the season (they open with Michigan on Friday). UNC looking a bit vulnerable after the Davidson loss. SUNDAY 1:30 @Brown

    5 - Wake v. Virginia - What can you say? The ACC is seriously underway with this one. SATURDAY 7:00 @ Wake

    also - Rutgers v BC (Sat.), American v Penn State (Sun.), South Carolina v Washington (Sun.)

    Anybody have any predictions?

    I predict that I would enjoy this game much more were I actually able to go to it.

    But Virginia 2, Wake 1. I'll keep you updated on this game as I told a friend to call me whenever anyone scored.

    I also think JMU will beat UCSB. Then we (James Madison) play SLU on Sunday, which I'm gonna guess will be something like 3-1 St. Louis. Is anyone going to be at these games? If so, can you start a thread and post little reports afterwards? It would be most helpful. I'm assuming/hoping SLU has a pretty good Sports Information office so we'll get the information in our office quickly.

    Also I hope Brown beats North Carolina...
