1) The SoCon experienced a disappointing 2-5 day against the tough competition they were facing yesterday. The loss by Davidson against Massachusetts was the most disappointing performance, in a lot of ways. Yes, this was clearly a trap game for the Wildcats, but I really had hopes that Davidson would be able to build on the win against Kansas. Georgia Southern's loss to Georgia State, UNCG's loss to VCU, Elon's loss to San Diego State, and The Citadel's loss to Denver were not really unexpected. Appalachian State's win over Campbell was a good win for the SoCon, as the Camels had been 8-4. But the best win of the day belonged to College of Charleston, over Coastal Carolina on the road. The Cougars won by seven to prove that they are the best team in the state of South Carolina.
2) Furman's battle against Georgia has been discussed in some depth here. This should be a very good game, and give the SoCon a shot at a fifth win over a Big 6 conference team. The Paladins would have beaten the Bulldogs a couple of weeks ago probably, but the Dawgs are hot right now, having beaten USC and Mercer in their last two games. The Paladins have been one of the SoCon's pleasant surprises so far. They could pull off the upset here. This should be an interesting game right before Christmas break.
