Any chance that an 8-2 TLU sneaks into the bottom of the South ranking if Thomas More loses? Selfishly looking to get HSU a win over an RRO here.

I would think if both RMC and TMU lose TLU will sneak in, but that's just a guess. Could be Maryville also.

Both have a pair of really bad losses to ranked teams, but Maryville has an enormous SOS advantage.  It is potentially a big deal which of those two go in IF Thomas More or RMC lose.

I'm assuming if Maryville gets in that just pushes Berry and Centre both even higher than HSU. On the other hand, if TLU jumps in then that may be enough to move HSU over Centre. Just trying to make the comprehensive list of which games I want to watch for Saturday. Obviously we want Berry, Centre, Salisbury, Linfield, Denison, Wabash, and Wittenberg to all lose, and I'm adding Thomas More and Maryville as well now... that's a lot of games!

Whoa!  Slow down there, Tex.  If you root for Denison to lose and they do, Wabash gets the NCAC AQ.  Wittenberg's got nothing on their profile and aren't a big threat to you, but feel free to root hard and loud for them to lose.  No need to do Wabash dirty like that though! 

You can watch the 125th Monon Bell Classic on Saturday on Fox Sports Midwest OR if you're not in the FSMW broadcast area, you can pick that puppy up on the Fox Sports Go app.  Kickoff at 1:07 pm EST.

Good to know, I'll happily root for Wabash on your account! I've already told my wife she has to make peace with me using every TV, computer, tablet, and phone in the house for football on Saturday!

21-0 Cru

4:43 left in the first. It was a ballgame for a good 5 min or so.

[umhbalum]

31-0 Cru at half.

We had a number of penalties and need to clean it up.

ETBU did a great job putting together some long drives and took a lot of time off the clock but couldn't turn it into points

[zipmac22]

The Cru doesn't have their head in the game. There are way too many dumb penalties as well as players playing hot headed without discipline. This was not the look The Cru want one week out from the start of the playoffs.

[QB Jock Itch]

Keep Poorman in your prayers, he had to leave the game due to a foot injury. Good win in a hostile environment. 2nd season next week. Go CRU!!!!

[edward de vere]

Are you serious?  Fulford had to leave Mount Union's game today for the same reason!

[QB Jock Itch]

Unfortunately yes it was something with his foot not ankle.

[edward de vere]

Yes, I knew that but I figured that since the foot is pretty darn close to the ankle and we're talking about Fulford and Poorman and . . . oh, never mind.

(Sigh)
