1 5 PTS	VCU 8-3, 0-0	Nothing comes easy this year for the Rams. Will Briante lose the starting spot? Shaka, your move.Joshua Grice
⬆2 15 PTS	Richmond 8-3, 0-0	The Spiders are crawling up the rankings. See what I did there?Gary Cope
2 15 PTS	Virginia 7-3, 0-0	Yep, the Hoos still lost to Green Bay-Wisconsin.
⬆2 15 PTS	Virginia Tech 7-3, 1-0	Before the season, I’d say the Hokies had no shot vs. VCU this Saturday, but now, I think they have a little shot–especially with the way Jarell Eddie is playing.Gary Cope
5 28 PTS	Norfolk State 8-3, 2-0	Finally! They are who we thought they were! Buy now because the Spartans’ stock is rising. Aaron Williams
6 30 PTS	George Mason 5-4, 1-0	There should be rules against going two weeks without a game. The Patriots have still lost four of their last 5.Aaron Williams
⬆7 41 PTS	Radford 6-2, 0-0	The Highlanders don’t have any marquee wins, but their losses are to GWU and VT. They have a huge opportunity tonight against Santa Clara.Aaron Williams
⬆8 43 PTS	VMI 6-4, 0-0	VMI ranks in the top 10 nationally for: field goal attempts, 3-pointers made, 3-point attempts, points per game, offensive rebounds per game, steals, blocks, and blocks per game. Yet the Keydets are 6-4.Ross Catrow
8⬇ 43 PTS	William & Mary 5-4, 0-0	This week, the Tribe take on a school from Towson, Maryland not named Towson: “Goucher”. What?Ross Catrow
10⬇ 47 PTS	Old Dominion 4-6, 0-0	The Monarchs are on a five game skid and a two game skid to former CAA opponents. The wheels are falling off of the bus. Aaron Williams
⬆11 51 PTS	Hampton 5-5, 2-0	The Liberty loss is going to haunt them in the CPR all season. Aaron Williams
12⬇ 62 PTS	Liberty 4-6, 0-0	Austin Peay spoiled the Flames’ winning streak while handing Liberty their worst loss of the season.Aaron Williams
⬆13 65 PTS	Longwood 4-7, 0-0	Don’t trust that record. The Lancers are 1-7 against D1 opponents. TCU ought to be embarrassed.Aaron Williams
13 65 PTS	JMU 3-8, 0-0	The Dukes are improving from range. They went 10-21 from three against High Point and they should do even better against Hampton next Saturday. Aaron Williams
