Doesn't really matter -- if they seed based on the actual criteria Hope will still be last out of this group.


[Isn't possible Hope could get the number 7 seed in the North?  The reason I ask is Wittenberg also has 3 losses; Capital (7-1) now ranked 5th overall, Dayton not ranked and Ohio Wesleyan (3-7) also unranked on 10/21.  Hope's three losses; first three games of the season were to Central(9-0) now ranked 10th, Depauw (6-3) un ranked, and Wheaton (8-1) now ranked 18th.  Seems that Hope should get consideration to move ahead of Wittenburg based on thier recent loss to Ohio Wesleyan, and the quality of teams Hope has lost to.]

I watched the Adrian - Hope game today.  I do not want to take anything away from Hope, however I believe Adrian had the better team.  Adrian had a terrible day on special teams (leading to 2 Hope scores).  Booko is an amazing back.  He runs tough!  The Bulldog defense is very tough.  They played on a 40 yard field pretty much the entire second half.  Adrian's offense struggled as usual but their defense is really something special.  Congratualtions to Hope!  Job well done...Tri-State better be on your Christmas Card list!

I must respectfully disagree with your opinion that "Adrian had the better team".  Adrian did make some mistakes that cost them. However Hope also made several mistakes (4 interseptions and costly penelties) that Adrian could have capitalized on.  Adrian did not, may be because the Hope defense is too good. 

Aslo Adrian was suppose to have the best run defense in the conference, yet the the Hope Oline and David Booko racked up 170 yards on the gound.
