Fellow TSU alum and fans I am not going to be able to make it due to moving that weekend now and I have 3 tickets in a great spot section 105 Row A seats 20-22. Home side between the 30 and 40 yard line.

$625.00 is what I got them for.

Anyone interested message me and we can work it out!

Credit to u/2Pollaski2Furious for the idea. Same sets of rules from the original FBS series apply here for the FCS teams. This is an award for FCS teams that humiliate themselves, whether it's a choke job, a crushing blow with everything to prove, or they have no business losing the match-up.

Previous Winners

Week 0: Villanova Wildcats (against William & Mary, 35-32)

Week 1: Western Carolina Catamounts (against Campbell, 28-19)

Week 2: Maine Black Bears (against Merrimack, 23-14)

Week 3: Rhode Island Rams (against Stony Brook, 56-24)

Week 4: Illinois State Redbirds (against Northern Iowa, 28-21)

Week 5: Montana State Bobcats (against Idaho, 35-34)

Week 6: North Dakota Fighting Hawks (against Northern Iowa, 24-17)

Week 7: Montana Grizzlies (against Idaho, 42-35)

LAST WEEK: Easily taking it is yet another top ten upset by Idaho, and this time they went to Missoula to get their second ever win of the year and the Little Brown Stein. Montana needed to lick their wounds after a rough outing in Flagstaff, so surely a down rival at home would be just what the doctor ordered, right? They just did not have a defensive answer for Josh Wood's offense in spite of Ah Yat's efforts, and now they lost two straight conference games and will need help to keep contender hopes up.

And now for a few special mentions:

• Bryant now joins a rather crowded 3-1 position in a rather top-heavy CAA after falling at home to Stony Brook. It'll be hard to catch up to Campbell and Monmouth now.
• Columbia had three consecutive fourth quarter drives get picked off in their loss against Dartmouth.
• Idaho nearly grabbed defeat - or at least a forced overtime - from the jaws of victory from that godawful pass coverage, but they successfully got themselves into a 53-yard FG that just cleared the uprights.
• Illinois State did beat Indiana State, but they had a first quarter deficit and were uncomfortably close.
• North Dakota played in the wrong dome, but did manage to force overtime. They fell just short as South Dakota scores a touchdown on them.
• Northwestern State managed to take a lead over Nicholls at a couple occasions but still fell and remained winless.
• Princeton received a nasty beating in Cambridge, and now Harvard remains the only Ivy with an undefeated conference record.
• I would never have guessed that Valparaiso would be 4-4 right now, but here they are.
• Wagner had a real shot at avoiding NEC futility while visiting Duquesne. The Dukes proceeded to crush those dreams in the fourth quarter in a 35-point clinic, including a pick-six and a scoop-and-score.

CAL POLY MUSTANGS (against Utah Tech, 43-26)

... who the fuck loses to Utah Tech? With lousy ball security? At home?!

COLGATE RAIDERS (against Richmond, 13-6)

Went from Patriot League contender to likely out of postseason talk after a pretty bad offensive display with three interceptions. And also critically, there was a fumbled punt return towards the end of the first half which led to Richmond scoring a go-ahead field goal, after which neither team did much.

CORNELL BIG RED (against Brown, 38-31 OT)

I've been asking this question multiple times, but can any Ivy League team hold a goddamn lead? Cornell had a rather productive middle two quarters, amassing a 14-point lead before allowing two cross-field heroics to force overtime at the last possible second. Brown then instantly scored a touchdown in their first play as Cornell did jackshit to close the game.

FURMAN PALADINS (against Samford, 13-6)

This isn't quite a SoCon cellar fight since it'll be a while before we see the Citadel face VMI, but this is pretty close, and it's odd that Furman beat Mercer this past year the way things are going. They did slowly come back with a 6-6 draw in the fourth quarter, but then they fumbled into their own red zone, something that Samford capitalized on. Furman's two interceptions did not help either.

JACKSON STATE TIGERS (against Bethune-Cookman, 24-21)

It is now a crowded East Division for the SWAC after the Tigers drop their second straight road game. After a bad first quarter, they did at least slowly claw their way back and took a 21-17 lead with less than three minutes to go. Bethune-Cookman then put up the most complete offense in a while and got a touchdown of their own.

LEHIGH MOUNTAIN HAWKS (against Villanova, 24-18)

It seems like Lehigh needed Hayden Johnson pretty badly as they lose to Nova in the second straight year after a bad first half. They did have a chance to come back and perhaps win, reaching the Nova 2, but Derek Morgan threw two incompletions and got wrapped up as time expired. And just like that the Patriot League title race is opened up.

MORGAN STATE BEARS (against Howard, 26-20)

The early season held promise, but now Morgan State's hopes of contending for the MEAC is in jeopardy. They were leading 20-6 in the fourth quarter and had a 97.6% chance of winning, but then the offense had three consecutive three and outs as the Bison claw their way back to overtime. It didn't take long for the Bison to secure it through a pick six.

WEBER STATE WILDCATS (against Montana State, 38-33)

The Wildcats had a great first half in a bid to make a statement in the Big Sky conference race, having a tidy 27-17 lead after capitalizing on Montana State's kickoff return fumble. And then they made two fumbles of their own - one of which costly - and struggled to stop a furious 21-point response from the Bobcats that they tried to come back within two minutes... and couldn't recover the onside.

WILLIAM & MARY TRIBE (against Georgetown, 28-27)

It was a rough Homecoming, and their first season in the Patriot League had their high hopes dashed. They did pull up ahead by six in the fourth quarter and had a 96% chance of winning to likely stop the Hoyas comeback. That final touchdown with 38 seconds to go broke their hearts, and the three picks Winston Watkins threw did not help.

YALE BULLDOGS (against Penn, 24-21)

It's yet another example of the habit of an Ivy not holding on to their lead. Penn was in fact struggling for good parts of the game, but fortunes start to turn around when Yale threw a third of four picks which led to a field goal to start the fourth quarter. And then Yale wasn't able to provide sufficient offense as they allow a final touchdown.

And as always, don't forget to mark your vote in brackets for visibility, <like so>. I also appreciate entries I might have passed over, so feel free to nominate, and I might edit it here.

Click here to vote for Week 9 in the /r/FCS Poll.

After signing in, click the link that says Current /r/FCS Poll. The poll will remain open until 12 pm (noon) Central Time on Tuesday, October 27^th. The results will be posted later on /r/FCS.

Note: Like last week, we're trying out a new voting method. You may now select "I have a computerized ranking and would like to vote by copy-and-paste." This will make it faster for voters to vote with those systems compared to the dropdown menus. The team naming convention follows the /r/CFB inline flair system with only the school name, not the mascot (e.g. Abilene Christian, not Abilene Christian Wildcats). Because this method makes it harder to check for duplicates and introduces the possibility of typos or inconsistent names for teams, please only use this voting option if you have a computerized ranking that will automatically avoid those issues.

Optional D1 HBCU Top Ten Poll

You now have the option to vote just for the HBCU Top 10 if you so choose! At the end of your FCS Top 25 (or Top 10) submission, you'll be given the opportunity to also submit a vote for your ranking of the top 10 HBCUs in the subdivision. This is optional and meant to be an additional fanbase voice within the Black College National Championship conversation.

Note: this does not prevent you from ranking the HBCUs in your standard FCS ranking submission.

As a reminder, the /r/FCS poll is now part of the Massey Ratings Composite. As such, we highly recommend submitting a full top 25 vote if you think you can put one together. But we're leaving the option to submit just a top 10 for those who’d prefer that route.

• Please check that you didn't vote for the same team twice. Ballots with a duplicated team that are not fixed by the due date will be discarded.

• Joke votes will be thrown out at the moderators' discretion. Diversity of opinions is good; trolling is not.

• If you make a mistake on your ballot or would like to change it for any reason, please re-submit a corrected ballot. Your old one will be discarded automatically, and only your newest ballot will count. You can resubmit as many times as necessary until the deadline.

• If you're unsure if you messed up your ballot, please leave a comment and we'll take a look for you and let you know.
