Each team is undefeated and ranked in the top 10. Former JMU O-Coord., Jeff Durden, has the Mocs offense producing strong results.

Another note neither has played a I-A game. They both play an SEC week 12 (About 5 SEC play a So-Con or Big South that weekend). There is a chance the winner of this could go 10-1, althought they both still have to play Wofford, and Citadel also has Samford, neither of which are slouches.

If ODU has stayed FCS, I think a game with us in Richmond (the old City stadium) would have done very well. Equal distance between the two campuses and a large number of alumni of both schools in the area. The only problem would be the stadium would be too small. Another possibility would have been UVA stadium. For those of you that have been to a neutral site game where both schools are equally represented, you know there is not much in the sports world that can compete with the experience.

No, UVA isn't an alternative for any purpose...except to pi** on. Same goes for VT.

I bet ODU and JMU fans could do a nice job filling FedEx.
