As part of the weekly preview I produce every Thursday showcasing the best games from around the state, I always highlight one contest as the Game of the Week. To expand on that, each week I'll post a poll where you -- the fans -- can vote for who you think will win the Game of the Week.

Week 2 Game of the Week: Amherst (1-0, 0-0; D5 #1) at Saint Mary's Springs (1-0, 0-0; D6 #1) -- Saturday, 1 pm
It is a rare treat that we get to see two top-ranked teams square off in the regular season, but kudos to these two programs for not being shy about scheduling tough competition. Springs is coming off a Division 6 state title last season, while Amherst finished as the D5 runner-up to Lancaster. Both teams bring back loads of talent and posted blowout wins over solid competition in Week 1. Amherst had no problem in a 45-7 win over Omro, while Springs blew open a close game at halftime to beat Shiocton 49-20. Keep an eye on Amherst's Tyler Biadasz, a Wisconsin recruit who is an All-State defensive end and also a standout as an offensive lineman, kicker, and punter. Last week, he kicked off to Shiocton, forced a fumble on the return, recovered the fumble, and returned it for a touchdown. This may be the best small-school game in the entire state this season.
