FB: American Southwest Conference

[Josh Bowerman]

Didn't this game happen like, three-four weeks ago?  Give it up already. 

CNU got a nice win over a good team.  Win a playoff game after a first rounder, then the Captains can crow a little bit, OK?

[CNULifer]

Dude, not crowing.

I was saying that UMHB is really good.  If DB's were hurt, then they are even better once they get back.  I don't know that CNU even will go to Post season this year. 

I just hope that UMHB plays Rowan in the Playoffs, because I think it would be something special to see.  Like a USC/Texas or Ohio St./Auburn or something like that.  2 very good D's

[CNULifer]

CNU scored 15 points.  No credit for drops or penalties.

No Credit for 1000 miles on first game of year either.

[Ralph Turner]

No doubt UMHB has a great defense.  That has been their strength.  When they perform well, UMHB wins.  Their speed is incredible.

I know you are not talking about the secondary.

UMHB has great rushing D. (awesome).

Secondary could not stay with 1 of our 4 starting receivers.

CNULifer, I am a McMurry grad, so no purple-white-and-gold blood here.

I would love to see CNU host UMHB in the playoffs this year.  If they do, I firmly believe that the game will have a different outcome.

I think that the advantage on Game 1 vs Game 2 is about 10 points.  Had you not caused the turnover in that last series, you would have probably lost.

As for the HSU-LC cancellation, all comments above are correct:

UMHB beats HSU

ASC percentage:

UMHB 8-0 = 1.000; UMHB gets Pool A bid
HSU 6-1 = .857;

South Region:

UMHB wins out:  9-1 South Region .900 and Pool A bid.
HSU wins out except UMHB:  8-1 South Region record .889 --Top Candidate for a Pool C bid.  (The Linfield and UW-SP games are in-region due to the new criteria.  Great Scheduling, HSU!  You scheduled yourself into the playoffs).


HSU beats UMHB

ASC percentage:

HSU 7-0 1.000.  Pool A bid.
UMHB 7-1 .875.  Falls to Pool C.

South Region Record.

HSU 9-0 1.000 (In-region) -- High probabilty of #1 or #2 seed.  Competition at this time for the seeding is:

--CNU, which is currently undefeated in conference play amd probably ends up 9-0 "in Region".   The non-region loss to Rowan doesn't impact this.  The committee would then look at strength of (South Region) schedule, the QOWI.

--Trinity, the SCAC Pool A, which has a loss to TLU, a common opponent, not good.  They might even have to travel to a UMHB or a HSU because of the loss to a common opponent.

-- and Bridgewater (ODAC Pool A bid).  We will need to compare the QOWI's (Quality of Wins Index) between HSU and BC (and CNU for theat matter).

--I really don't think that the Centennial will impact seeding.

--I forgot about Wesley.  Let's see if they ship them to the East!

UMHB 8-2 .800  (In-region record is 8-2)  -- Key win over UW-Whitewater would help in Pool C criteria.  If I were on the committee, and I saw a win over a  Whitewater (9-1 overall/ 8-1 West Region Record), then I would give one of the 7 Pool C bids to UMHB.

[Bill McCabe]

Ralph,  The Whitewater game for UMHB is in region?

[CNULifer]

Had you not caused the turnover in that last series, you would have probably lost.

Does that mean that if the 2 TD's were not called back, that the score would have been 29-17 CNU wins by double digits.

[Pat Coleman]

Yes.

[CNULifer]

By my count that would be a 12 point margin, covering your game 1, game 2 scenario.

[CNULifer]

It is all hearsay anyway.  CNU is going to have tough time even getting to Playoffs.  We always seem to stub toe somewhere.  I am rooting for UMHB to get to ROWAN.  That would mean a night stay in atlantic city for me and then an awesome football game.

[CNULifer]

To all you BOZO's out there who care a little too much.

Keep the bad Karma coming!!!!

[Bill McCabe]

UMHB has a tough road to the playoffs with HSU and Whitewater still on the schedule, plus the others.  The HSU game is a must in my mind.

[Ralph Turner]

Yes.

Bill, yes!  See Pat's link!

The Geographic Region is a great boon to us ASC fans.  Now we can go west and pick up in-region games.

In the past 8 years, we ASC teams have played UW-allcomers, Menlo, Willamette, Chapman and Colorado College that are now considered in-region.

I will make the bold prediction that if UMHB goes 8-2 with a win over UW-Whitewater, they get a Pool C bid.

CNULifer, I am not hitting you with bad karma (Smites).

I honestly believe that if we see UMHB at CNU in the playoffs, that UMHB will win.

[Bill McCabe]

Ralph,  I don't trust the committee.  It would be better for UMHB to beat HSU.  What if HSU has 1 loss, what are your thoughts?

[Ralph Turner]

UMHB has a tough road to the playoffs with HSU and Whitewater still on the schedule, plus the others.  The HSU game is a must in my mind.

Good point, Bill!
