The PAC is a much stronger conference than it has been for a long time. For years it was pretty much just W&J. Then there was Thomas More and W&J.  Now there are five teams that are competitive. Winning this conference will be no cakewalk anymore. Certainly makes things more exciting!

As a new follower of the PAC I've been really impressed with the depth and parity of the conference. Didn't realize this year was an exception lol

No question about that WJ68. The conference has certainly moved forward, some with the affiliation of CMU & CWRU, some with the upgrading at Grove City, St. Vincent & Westminster.

But the Presidents have come back to the pack as well.  There are lots of reasons for that which I don't have the time now to delve into but some of those reasons have been raised previously.
Been wrong before.  Will be wrong again.

Congrats to CMU for locking up the PAC playoff bid! Based on the spring season I certainly expected it to be Westminster or W&J.

Tough draw for the Tartans. They open the playoffs with defending champs and #1 ranked North Central. Hope they at least give the Cardinals a decent test.

Ditto to WRMU. Disappointing CMU is such a low seed. Guess that is the result of having two losses.
Older than Springtime...Younger than dirt

Congratulations to CMU!  For anyone traveling to Naperville next weekend that needs any advice on the area, please reach out here, on the CCIW page or in a private message.  Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium is a good sized stadium with plenty of seating.  The stadium sits a block away from some of the downtown area restaurants and bars.  Safe travels!

^I love downtown Naperville.  Very impressed last time I was there for a work visit.  (If I recall correctly, ate at Allegory, and beers at Empire).

Good luck to the Mellons....

Now, on to the ECACs for Westminster, W&J, Grove City:

"We wanted to balance out the field out so everybody didn't go to Pennsylvania"

Westminster (8-2) hosts an ECAC Bowl game (rightly so).
W&J (8-2) gets sent to SUNY-Brockport (7-3).
Grove City (7-3) (love the Grovers) HOSTS a game?
FDU-Florham (6-4) hosts a game (vs. St. Vincent at 5-5)

This is why it's NCAA or Nothing for our broadcast coverage.

Enjoy the Football playoffs, all.
See you in Baseball season.

Presidents apparently drew the short straw. ???

Dusting off the old account here...I have actually been able to follow this season fairly closely via livestreams and stats and whatnot, and even got to attend the last 2 games (W&J and Case).  Couple of really big wins for the Tartans and very excited that Coach Lackner goes out with a PAC title and playoff berth.  Tough draw with North Central, but as noted above, that's whatcha get for having 2 losses.  Maybe the defense can come up with another 6-INT game...

Wish I could be a bit more active here, but 2 young kids and work have made it tough to figure out which leisure pursuits I can stick with.  Thanks so much to all the D3football crew for making coverage accessible.  Amazing times we live in that I could be sitting at home & still watching my own D3 alma mater on a big screen TV.
I was small but made up for it by being slow...

Thanks CardinalAlum.  I'd have given it some thought if not for the two little monsters running around my house these days.  Hard to leave them in charge of the place just yet!

I've been there.  I get it!  Our video stream of the game is really well done.  It's not two kids screaming into the microphone. The broadcast crew is always well prepared and give good information.
