With three straight 2-1 days, I'm off to an excellent 6-3 start to the season. Today's slate is a fun one, so let's jump into it!
East Tennessee State 
at Georgia 
ETSU only has wins against KenPom #300+ teams so far, but their losses have been impressive against decent competition. At #110, Georgia represents the best team they have faced to date, but this is a program with a tradition of winning that won't be intimidated by an SEC gym. Mike White is in rebuild mode at UGA and the Bulldogs' wins over similar competition have been close. I think this is a few too many points to give the Buccaneers.

Drexel 
at Temple 
The Dragons were kind to us earlier this year and I'm looking at Zach Spiker's squad for another cover as a dog in this Philly rivalry. Temple legend Aaron McKie has his team on the upswing and while the Owls have played a tough schedule and do have a couple of good wins, they tend to play up/down to their competition. Temple's only game where the result was 10 or greater was their last one, a 12-point loss to Richmond in Brooklyn. This is too many points for them to give in this intercity rivalry.

Yale 
at Colorado
Undefeated Yale has already put on some serious miles this season after beating host Hawaii in their own tournament earlier this year. At KenPom #56, Colorado represents their toughest challenge to date, but James Jones' squad appears up for it. The Buffs results are all over the map with wins over #3 Tennessee and #52 Texas A&M, but losses to #285 Grambling State and #139 UMASS. Yale is a smart team that plays excellent defense and will give Colorado all they can handle.
