[Mr. Ypsi]

cwru70 thanks for the update...

These ramking make no sense
Great Lakes teams in the North Region rankings

1. Mount Union
3. Otterbein
4. Wabash
5. Trine
6. Case Western Reserve
8. Adrian
10. Wooster

D3football.com's Top 25

No. 1 Mount Union
No. 3 Wabash
No. 12 Case Western Reserve
No. 14 Otterbein
No. 19 Washington and Jefferson
No. 21 Trine

How can Otterbien be ahead of Wabash in the region?  How can Wabash be 3rd nationally yet 4th in the region? How can Otterbein and Trine be ahead of Case?  Seems like two different groups of voters are involved.

Not only are they from different sources, they are from different weeks!  The regional rankings were from BEFORE Ott lost to MUC.

Trine is now the 4th seed in the region and CWRU is 5th yet Nationally CWRU is 12th and Trine 21st.  Sets up an interesting possibility if the NCAA holds to typical playoff structuring and no one is moved from the region.  CWRU may not host and have to travel to upstart Trine instead....

I gonna need a map

Just head west on 90/80 about 3 hrs.

[ADL70]

If the gurus' hoodoo is right, CWRU's reward for a second undefeated season and domination of every opponent is a seeding which gives them two OAC teams.  Some reward!?

Come on committee, everyone else sees those three weak wins, only one against a quality opponent.

Given Chicago's recent relunctance to pass and CMU's historic reluctance, will the game break the 2 hour mark?

[jam40jeff]

Two one-point wins over two 2-7 teams.  It would be an absolute joke if they seeded Trine ahead of Case.  Especially now that Case's win over Wooster is a win over a regionally-ranked opponent.

CWRU can only take care of things they have control over ... win this weekend and then prepare for playoffs ... let the experts take care of who and where....

but it is obvious to most that CWRU should be ranked above Trine in North Region ....

take care of business Spartans ..



Go Case!   Go Spartans!!   GO BLUE!!!!

[ADL70]

This team has proved it can TCB in thirty minutes or less!

Still, say Franklin, then another shot at Wabash seems more appropriate.

[jam40jeff]

TCB?

Sorry, I'm not an acronym guy.

Thanks.  That would explain why I never have heard it before.

Here's a link to the video for Saturday's game (for all 4 people that seem to read this thread):

Chicago is trying to cross up CMU they've come out throwing the ball, including a successful fake punt!

Will be cold and blustery in St Looie

[PoppaN]

Outstanding DEFENSE gives Case a big win  ... 17-0 .... and an awesome stand on 3 yd line to preserve the shutout.... WTG Spartans ...

GO BLUE!

[ADL70]

And it's chaos in week 11.  CWRU may be a #2 seed again.

ALL THE WAY TO HEAVEN!!!!

Congrats to CWRU.  Good luck in the playoffs, gents!  Keep the UAA playoff momentum rolling.

CMU's streak of non-losing seasons stays alive with a somewhat-ugly win over Chicago, but 2008 was a disappointing season.  Lots of question marks for the Tartans going into the offseason.
