UR and Pomona game is going to be interesting. Close game the last time they played. UR is at home and playing better. Pomona needs to win to clinch home field for the SCIAC championship game.

Great breakdown olddog!

La Verne had a very good running back and mobile QB that season. They were lighting up the scoreboard during SCIAC play.

I would have to agree with that. Over the last 10 seasons the SCIAC has never had a back to back winner. Who knows how this will all shake out.

13 - Redlands
14 - Chapman
15- La verne
16 - Redlands
17 - Chapman
18- CMS
19 - Chapman
21-Redlands
22 - CMS
23 - Chapman

Does anyone have insight on the Redlands and Pomona game? Did Redlands offense just play poorly (again) or did Pomona's defense look good?

SCIAC Score Predictions

Redlands 49 - La Verne 7 - Redlands will try to score as many points as possible. Historically enjoys running it up against lesser opponents to pad stats 
Chapman 42 - Cal Lu - 14 - If Chapman is able to stop the pass, this should be an easy win for them
Pomona 24 - CMS - 20 - Pomona pulls off the upset... Poor QB play of CMS will lead to the loss.

SCAIC play officially kicks off this weekend... My predictions are below on how the season will finish up!

1. Chapman - The panthers run it back to back for the first time in school history
2. Claremont - Defense looks to be stout, but ultimately the offense is going to stop them from winning it all.
3. Redlands - Offense will soon figure it out.. Hopefully the QB will return and will give the bulldogs a shot at moving the ball.
4. Pomona - Well coached but doesn't have the talent level they did in 2022 to win it all.
5. Cal Lu - Lost two early and also can't run the ball on offense.
6. La Verne - Could go winless


SUN WINNER

Redlands


SURF WINNER

Chapman

NWC VS SCIAC Predictions

PLU 27 VS CLU 24
Chapman 38 VS Whitworth 35
Redlands 13 Vs Linfield 55
CMS 24 vs George Fox 10
PP 28 Vs Pacific 21
UPS 17 Vs La Verne 24

Good point...

Seems very similar to Oxy regarding fundraising. Get the money and spend it on other sports and an aquatic center.

Does anyone have any predictions about Cal Lu this weekend?

Curious to hear what happened as well. I had the bulldogs winning this one...

Looks like two QB's played and a run game was non existent.

Week 1 score predictions are below.

Chicago 13 @ CMS 28 - Going to be a hot one even with a 10 AM kickoff... CMS with home field advantage will be huge.

La Verne 17 @ Willamette 21 - Willamette will be improved with a new Head Coach

Carleton 14 @ Pomona 35 - Well coached Pomona team and travel for Carleton will make it tuff for Carleton to win

Pacific 17 @ Chapman 38 - Interested to see how Chapman will come out and play with the game cancelation last year @ Pacific... Chapman will have too much fire power for Pacific to compete.

George Fox 14 @ Redlands 42 - Redlands will get off to a fast start with a healthy QB. Interested to see some new pieces for Redlands this year on both sides of the ball.

Always great to see a program improving field conditions. Claremont and Redlands are the last two SCIAC programs with grass. I would have to give the upper hand to Claremont though in terms of better playing surface. I can't stand looking at that spray painted grass at Redlands.

Has anyone seen the field over at Pomona yet? Rumor has it, they finally got turf. Can anyone confirm?

Preseason Polls look very accurate for the SCIAC this season. I wonder what Maynard thinks about Redlands being ranked so low... A lot has changed since the Maynard and Mac days.
