Top 25 rankings

[Eh-You]

K-Mack,
My profile pic shows what happened the last time you went too far and used big words a didn't understand.

You're a black woman? I had you pegged as a white college student.

Never judge a post by its keystrokes. Or something like that.

Would a +1 (or another -1) make you feel better?

Everybody wants to put a label on me and T.O. Can't a balck woman like me be a D3 fan? (joke)  Adding karma might even put you, Keith, on the list. A smite would be more deserved!

K-Mack, I realize these boards are here for "arguing" and airing things out, but I said all I was going to say on the subject.  I didn't feel the need to beat a dead horse.  Apparently I was wrong in my figuring and I took my lumps and now we've moved on.  By the way, I believe it was you on another board that was asking if any D3 stadium has home-stands that stretch from the 10 yd. line to 10 yd. line.  It could be mistaken identity, but I'm pretty sure it was you.  If there is ever a big enough game at Gesling Stadium, check it out.  Home-stands stretch from goal-line to goal-line, (Probably to account for not having a visitor's side.)

And Case (Western Reseve) Field's stands go from beyond end zone to beyond end zone.  Possibly for field events in the "Ds", but also because of no vis side and lack of space so only 12 rows.

BW's also goes endzone to endzone on both sides.

Whoever had doubts about Averett b/c they weren't sure what they would do at CNU was right. The only thing I have to say about CNU is: 1st class, EVERYTHING. Saturday seemed like a playoff atmosphere at POMOCO and AU got beat by a better team. Hopefully it will be added to the list of "helpful" losses in 2006. GO FERRUM!

a lot of one loss teams in the east.  Important week for many with playoffs on the line.  Still looking for some feedback on who will be the top seed in the east?

talk about no respect  in a poll ,   OXY wins   and drops three spots.   

Go NWC

desertcat1,

I noticed that as well.  Both Whitworth and Central passed them.  I was very surprised by that.  Maybe the voters finally looked at the regional rankings and decided to get more in line with that is the only thing I can think of.

Check the SCIAC board for a bit more info.

Not really sure where to post this, so I'll post it here.  While looking at the QOWI numbers, I was a bit curious as to how UMHB and Wittenberg--both two loss teams--were ranked so highly in the QOWI.  I did the math, and unless I'm wrong, this is what I come up with for both teams:

UMHB
07  L  @ CNU (.778)
13 W  @ SRSU (.625)
12 W vs. TLU (.556)
11 W  @ McM (.333)
14 W vs. HSU (.875)
13 W  @ LC (.500)
10 W vs. MC (.444)
06 L  vs. UW-W (1.000)
09 W  @ ETBU (.300)
------------------------------------
95 total points/9 games = 10.55 as opposed to 10.778

Wittenberg
07 L  @ Capital (.889)
12 W vs. Alma (.556)
15 W @ Wooster (.778)
10 W vs. Earlham (.333)
14 W vs. Wabash (.778)
01 L  @ Ohio Wesleyan (.300)
13 W @ Oberlin (.556)
12 W vs. Allegheny (.556)
-------------------------------------------
84 points/8 games = 10.5 as opposed to 10.750

Statistically, I think it's [almost] impossible for a two loss team to have a QOWI than an undefeated team, and unusual that they would have a QOWI higher than that many one-loss teams.

[DutchFan2004]

Josh your math looks good to me.

desertcat, Remember, Oxy is undefeated and has a QOWI of 11.  UW-Lacrosse has one loss and a QOWI of 9.50.  The top 25 Ranking means nothing on Selection Sunday!

I think that tomorrow OXY is ranked higher in the West Region.

We never have done that.

Whitworth finally played a defcent team, beating a ranked team on the road, and was rewarded.
