The BPD3 Level System Top 25 unveiled:

NOTE:
BPD3 Level System Top 25
To add to the intrigue and fun of the ranking system, I am creating "Levels" within the Top 25. In the "Level System", I will be grouping teams that are reasonably comparable in my opinion and exposing where I believe there is a drop-off of some kind between ranks.  

Is there anyone "intruding" on Level 1 with UW-W and Mount Union?

Where do the "breaks" occur between levels?

What level is Coe in?  What about Central?

While Yes, I'm biased, the fact that you have Coe down to 13th, Central at 18th and dropped St. John's out of "your" Top 25 makes me want to give you little credit.  

Don't let it bother you. If his sub-conscience had a vote, I'm sure Platteville, River Falls and LaCrosse all would have received one vote.

The Week 5 rankings don't matter a bit. It's the Week 10 that matter.

Well, or 16. But Week 10 is the one that heads into the final week of the regular season. :)

I would place Coe, Central, and Cornell on the same level as Mount Union.  If I were University of Wisconsin-Whitewater I would be embarrassed to play at that level.  

Come on you have 10,700 students with reduce addmission standards compared to Coe and Central.  Tuitions that are half to a third.  

We do have a school in Iowa that is up to your standards but they have some "deleted"insert(fortitude)and play in the FCS.  It's called University of Northern Iowa enrollment 13,000.  They are a comparable institution with yours.  

I bet you even tried to play in the Little League  when you were 16.

Bird Dog: It's amazing that state schools don't win every Division III national championship with those numbers. On a percentage basis, they win right around 25%, which is consistent with the percentage of public schools in Division III.

Problem is that this is not high school. Colleges don't hang up signs in the dorms and recruit from the people already on campus to come try out for the team. People on the rosters are there because they came to the school with that in mind.

Division III schools are as large as 20,000 (NYU) and as small as 590 or so (Blackburn). Enrollment isn't the determining factor in a program's success.

I haven't been on the board in a long time but just heard something about Simpson football that I was hoping to get some insight on.  What are Storm fans opinion of Glogowski as a coach?  He is in his 3rd season so he has a large group of his own kids in the program and it is looking a lot like last season.  Just curious if anyone knew anything about whats going on down there?

BINGO!!!

All I know is what I read, from the Central preview for Saturday's game:
"Simpson is getting key contributions from its younger players. Freshman Michael Chia leads the running backs...while freshman quarterback Taylor Nelson has completed 51 of 98 passes for 529 yards with three touchdowns and five interceptions. And yet another freshman, Brad Vogel, is the top receiver..."

I don't know if youth is their problem, but it makes me nervous.  Young people are unpredictable.  It is same reason I don't bet on 2 year old race horse.  You never know what they will do.  How do we know these guys aren't all having growth spurts all this week? 

I'm hoping for the Central offensive line to finally assert itself as the team strength Pat promised in his Kickoff article.  I'm looking for three or four Central qb's to get the chance to throw passes Saturday and I hope none of them has to scramble or throw balls away.  Plus, no running play should go for fewer than four yards.  If all of that happens, I will feel just a little better looking forward to the rest of the season.

Well at least their vocabulary has improved, if not the ability to put logical thoughts together.

This is true, to an extent. Kid A in Wisconsin chooses to go to Wisconsin after being recruited to UWW (or any of the other schools), chances are that decision was not about money. If Kid B in Iowa chooses to go to Iowa after being recruited by Coe and Central (or any of the other schools), money could have very well been a (if not THE) deciding factor.

But you're changing the subject from size to scholarships. ;)

Way to go IIACers!
