So far:

CWRU meeting expectations

WashU off to strong start

CMU slightly disappointing

U-Chi struggling
I was small but made up for it by being slow...

CWRU is revamping its website and the athletics pages have a great new look.  Hopefully the links will all be restored by the end of the weekend.

Go, Spartans and Tartans and Bears this week!!!

Gang,

EVERYBODY should watch this cool new video documentary clip on Case's star QB Dan Whalen!

Ugly loss by the Bears to a SCAC mid-rung team Rhodes, 28-10, hurts the in-region record for WashStL.

TartanPlayer, good observation on Kresge.  I believe you were at todays game and if you were then you know he was an integral part in securing the W against Kenyon.  I've seen every game and its my opinion that CMU just has to execute and cut back on the the mistakes and turnovers.  The turnovers have killed them in their losses and close games.  Today I saw about five fumbles.  Once they start executing and limiting mistakes then they will have no problem giving the UAA a run for their money.  They've got talent and anyone who has seen them knows it.
When we are gone the only thing that matters is what we have done.  Not what we wanted to do or what we failed to accomplish.  How will you be remembered?

A tip of the OAC hat to a very aggresive upstart CWRU football team. Always exciting when local teams besides Mount Union do well. Good luck the rest of the way. Hope to see you in Alliance come November.

Thanks 70's, but I'm hoping for a meeting in December.

Brian Calderone's return to action was a rousing success, as he led the team in tackles: 4 solo, 4 assist, and 2.5 sacks.

A measure of the D's domination of Denison is that the two leading tacklers (and 4 of top 6) were on the DL.

Kenyon out-rushed CMU 282 to 276.  When was the last time the Tartans were out-rushed?

[Answering my own question:  11/25/2006  2nd round play-off  Wesley outgained CMU 203-145]

Great new features on the Spartan webcast, multiple cameras, replays, and a scoreboard banner (if only it could display down and distance).  The live broadcast on my computer still rebuffers almost every play though.

Why has CWRU dropped a place in the Top 25?

Fisher was ranked 10th before their loss and had a 53 vote lead over #11 (thanks to Ralph Turner for pointing out this method of analysis).  When Fisher lost, a lot of votes were freed up and they seem to have mostly gone to two other East teams, Cortland and Del Valley, who gained 53 and 70 points respectively to CWRU's 24.  I've no quarrel with Del Vlley leap frogging, with wins over Salisbury and Wesley.  But Cortland jumped with a win over winless Buffalo St.

Further bad news is that with only 2 Pool B playoff spots this year, CWRU is competing against 25 other teams for those two bids.  Those teams include current Top 25 teams Salisbury, Wesley, and 4-0 Huntingdon.  Only 10-0 will assure one of those two spots.  One loss may put the Spartans in Pool C, where second place teams from the so-called power conferences rule.

Copied from the Top 25 board, where a similar question was asked:

Appreciate the question, and welcome to the board. I don't think your base assumption is correct. I think Buff State is a better team than Denison.

Interestingly, their current Massey ratings are very similar to our preseason rankings in Kickoff.

We ranked Buff State 154 in the preseason and Massey has them 152 now.
We ranked Denison 171 in the preseason and Massey has them 171 now.

But more importantly, it's important to remember that the entire season resume can be re-evaluated each week. (We make sure the voters see this data so they can decide whether to use it. The AFCA, to our understanding from coaches who vote in both, does not.)

Here's the entire season resume for both teams:

No. 15 Case Western Reserve (4-0):
Sep 06   AWAY   Kenyon (1-4)   W   26-62
Sep 13   HOME   Rochester (1-3)   W   38-6
Sep 20   AWAY   Oberlin (1-3)   W   21-48
Oct 04   HOME   Denison (1-3)   W   45-14

No. 14 Cortland State (4-0):
Sep 06   AWAY   Morrisville State (0-4)   W   37-51
Sep 20   AWAY   Rowan (3-1)   W   20-27
Sep 27   AWAY   Kean (3-1)   W   28-32
Oct 04   HOME   Buffalo State (0-4)   W   35-14

Case has been pounding teams, yes, but all they've proven is that they're better than four bad teams. Cortland has proven it's better than Rowan, and that's a road game as well.

cwru70,

I think that we'll move up with a win over Wooster, which is currently also undefeated.

If we run the table, then I can see us finishing the regular season around #10 or so.
