But they beat the spread.A review of the box score kinda said it all - and agree with your expressed sentiment.
Curious as to what the spread was?

Just looking at the non-conference records of the conference lately (with additional playoff record in parentheses)... not a good trend. The HCAC has gotten worse every year since 2006
2006: 13-11 (0-1)
2007: 12-12 (0-2)
2008: 10-13 (2-1)
2009: 7-17 (0-1)
2010: 6-12 (0-1)
2011: 3-15 (1-1)
2012: 2-16 (1-1)
Looking at predictions on Massey somehow that trend could continue... I wonder if a conference has ever gone 0fer before. Out of 18 games, HCAC teams are favored just once... Manchester by 1.5 over Kalamazoo in week 2. Not only that, but only two other games are teams single digit underdogs (Hanover 2.5 to Illinois College and Rose 3.5 @ Kalamazoo). 12 games the team is at least 20 point underdogs and 3 are at least 30.
Is the conference that absurdly bad (5-31 without playoffs the last 2 years) or are teams simply scheduling far outside of their ability? Franklin is obviously in the latter currently.

Defiance website isn't working for live stats. Use Franklin's website.

I'm curious, is the conference really bad this year or is it just a rough non-conference for us? Week 1 we went 2-7 and right now in the Pick 'Em just one of the 7 playing this week have a majority of picks for them (and they're only chosen 3 to 2). In fact in 7 games between 5 pickers (35 chances total) there's a total of 7 HCAC teams chosen and 28 picks for HCAC teams to lose.

Regardless, ND should be able to have their way against Michigan.).
I wasn't around during Ufer's days but I'm a huge UM fan and have heard his great calls. Nothing against Frank Beckmann but I wish we had someone like Ufer doing the games now. Give Hoke a couple years, he's already got the top recruiting class for next year. I actually have some faith in in the defense now ... they're not great but much better than the last couple years. I didn't have any with that joker Robinson as coordinator.

Seeing Anderson and Manchester in the top 25 and Franklin receiving votes is nice to see for the conference. Last year may have given the HCAC some national attention.
