STATS FCS National Offensive Player of the Week, the FCS National Performer of the Week by the College Football Performance Awards and a College Sporting News FCS National All-Star. College Sports Madness selected Williams as its Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week as well.And that's not all. Another significant honor will be announced today.
Here's a look at Williams' highlights:
•
The wise guys have spoken and they've made Dartmouth a 12.5-point favorite over Yale in Saturday's Homecoming game.Elsewhere it's:
Harvard a 23-point favorite at Cornell
Princeton at home a 7-point favorite over Colgate
Fordham an 11.5-point favorite at Penn
Holy Cross a 7-point favorite at home against Brown
Wagner a 1-point favorite at Columbia
For what it's worth, I won't even buy a lottery ticket so I'm not remotely tempted but at least one of those looks really wrong.

From the STATS national poll:21. UNH
24. Harvard
34. Dartmouth
38. Princeton
FCS Coaches Poll
22. UNH
24. Harvard
39. Dartmouth
BGA Take: There have been stories over the years about the major college coaches poll and how some coaches allow their sports information directors to do their voting. That's in a poll of teams that it's easy to watch or read about each week. Honestly, how much do you think the coaches who vote in the FCS poll know about out-of-region teams? The guess here is that if the STATS poll disappeared the Coaches poll would look remarkably different – if it even continued.
