Best Games, Upsets, and Upcoming Games
Re: Best Upcoming Games
I hear you, but obviously the schools have the authority to impose their own, stricter rules. Another variable is that the rules may need to be different depending on the location of the school. A school in the middle of a Covid hotbed may need to have stricter rules than a school in Cow County Kansas.

I would put near the top of your list a really intriguing game that I believe was just added for this Sunday - Drexel vs Loyola. I've jumped on the Drexel bandwagon early and this is a great test for them...and for Loyola, have they shaken off the rough start to the year?
I will be watching this game on Sunday, not sure I will watch round 2 of ND/Syr

Re: Best Upcoming Games
Is the Saturday 3/13/2021 Loyola-Navy game postponed?
NVM: I checked, and it appears that the Navy game is off, and Loyola plays Drexel (seen on ESPN+) Sunday. Should be a very good game.

Re: Best Upcoming Games
The Loyola v. Drexel could be the most interesting game this year. One team playing above expectations another playing below expectations. (expectations not ability)
I think Loyola wins this by 6.

Re: Best Upcoming Games
i'd like to see Loyola win because... I like Loyola but I'm also enjoying watching a new team win. Tough call for me personally but... Makes for a good for me as well. Should be good.

Re: Best Upcoming Games
I'd like to use your Best Upcoming Games for the prediction picks we've been doing each weekend if that would be agreeable. Is there a rough target you have for getting each new batch of games posted on a given day each week? For instance, if you release the best games for the coming weekend on each Thursday, that would fit the time frame we've been using (All picks due by Friday noon). But that's just the ideal. I just want to get an idea if that's feasible for you. Or perhaps you release them when each new batch is ready, regardless of the day of the week it falls on. In any event, let me know what your thoughts are and if you think this will work as a kind of joint venture. Thank, Matnum.Matnum PI wrote: ↑Fri Mar 12, 2021 8:05 am D1 WOMEN: Yesterday and This Weekend (Friday 03/12/21)

Re: Best Upcoming Games

Florida at Temple for a deuce
All of a sudden the back to back 2 game series pitting Florida against Temple in Philly this weekend doesn’t look like a Gator chomp.

Re: Florida at Temple for a deuce
I had the same thought, and then said to myself, "Nahh, Florida will win both of these comfortably." I watched the Temple-St. Joe's game; very entertaining. But I think Florida will right their ship and win both. But it was nice of Florida to inject some uncertainty into the picture.

Re: Best Upcoming Games
Another couple of btb 2 game series that might be interesting this weekend are Michigan at Penn St and Duke at Virginia. The latter may end up being competitive and produce this seasons first split of a two gamer. Both teams have had very rude awakenings recently against superior ACC foes.
In the other matchup, the Lions will probably maul the Wolverines and get their revenge but good, in both games.

Oh well, that settles that. You’re probably right but I hope not.
Re: Best Upcoming Games
This Saturday’s Jacksonville at Virginia Tech will undoubtedly be listed as a best game, as well it should, but the Hokies will enjoy feasting on fish for this one.

Re: Best Upcoming Games
Depends on how many players and what players VT can field too, right? The team that lost to Carolina 22-1 will give Jacksonville a chance!
Re: Best Upcoming Games
Good point. I forgot all about that. Is that the only team to your recollection who has played a game that short handed from Covid?seacoaster wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 2:53 pmDepends on how many players and what players VT can field too, right?

Re: Best Upcoming Games
Sorry, I don't know if any other teams have played short handed. I see the same postponements you see, and assume that this is the way teams are managing things when the virus pops up.Cletus wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 2:58 pmGood point. I forgot all about that.

Re: Best Upcoming Games
Colorado had 14 (!) field players for their game Sunday vs. SDSU. USC went with sophomore goalie over regular starter and reigning PAC 12 defensive player of the week against Cal and then cancelled subsequent game (2 days later) against Stanford. These issues are rampant, whether we notice them or not. I do not envy teams or coaches dealing with the uncertainty of the personnel carousel.
