going with Drexel for the upset. Drexel goalie is one of the best in the nation, she could be the difference maker in this game.

I will jump on the Drexel bandwagon with you.

My other two differences from Seacoaster
1) Stanford. I am not a Big East fan and Denver has struggled against weaker conference teams Villanova and UConn recently with Thacker out and offensive can struggle at times as well
2) Penn State. 2 teams different directions. PSU recent wins Maryland & Hopkins, previous Northwestern win and solid championship game against them as well. Florida just rolled JMU 21-11 Saturday.

I was going to put in my guesses, but you and I align 100%.

[Edit] if there were a couple of crazy upset picks, the last 2 games could be on a watch....

No but that UNC game was a long time ago and look at their games against JMU .PSU will beat JMU who has faded . UNC vs Florida could go either way .

I thought PSU looked very good in the last two games I saw them play. I also think FL - UNC could go either way but in a year where we are seeing some different teams rise to the top, I’ve got to go with FL in a tight race.

I'm one of the people who chose Florida over UNC and JMU over Penn State.

My "thinking" -- note the quotation marks -- was that Florida's trajectory has been upward most of the season, and they are coming off a complete game against JMU, a good, pretty experienced, and very well coached team. The game is at a supposedly neutral site (UVA, familiar to UNC). I just think there's a chance of a Florida win (and I have nothing riding on this at all!).

My choice of JMU over We Are....well, I might well be wrong. PSU plays a tougher schedule, has tournament chops from the B1G tournament, and has -- when you see them play it is kind of obvious -- really good athletes all over the field. I chose JMU because of the coaching advantage, and the discipline that comes with it. The game is again at a neutral field...where Penn State plays every other year or so, and where JMU picked off Maryland this year. So, we'll see.

Sorry if this was more response than you were looking for.

Good thoughts except the Terps beat the Dukes 11-8 this year...
