We are getting lucky with the Friday night games -- not that this is expected to be a hotly contested battle, but just lucky that they exist at all. And by the way, bring your passport for this trip. You can save about a half-hour by driving through Canada on this itinerary, but this is on the overnight leg, not between Saturday's games. Start with Alfred State at St. John Fisher. In terms of rankings, it might be the biggest mismatch on our list, but it's a Friday night game, and a stadium we haven't visited on this tour yet. So, cross through Canada if you like or take the extra time to go south of Lake Erie but you'll wind up at Olivet at Kalamazoo on Saturday afternoon for a 2 p.m. kickoff. That gives you a pretty tight connection to get to Alma at Hope for the 6 p.m. game. If that worries you, you can instead see Trine at Albion at 1 p.m. and the swap might get you 15 extra minutes to get to Hope.

Perhaps you're tired of driving. Or perhaps you just really, really like Massachuetts. You can go to Friday night's Merchant Marine at WPI game, then see Maine Maritime at Endicott or Salve Regina at Nichols at noon Saturday and end the weekend with a 5 p.m. game featuring Western New England at MIT. But maybe you've seen some of those teams already on previous trips.

Total: Three games, 522 miles start to finish.
