FB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

 I don't know how Coe got stuck as a seven seed because they're a pretty solid squad.
I predict a shootout at McCully on Saturday.

For Shizzle!

Now that's a term I've not heard before!   +k for your there ccfk!!

As long as they don't start in a 21-0 hole this could be game in the 4th quarter.

no chance...NCC wins this in a laugher. If they can beat a very good Wheaton team by three scores, then this game will be over in the first half.

I'm not too worried about SNU. I'm more worried about the 2nd round match-up. I really want to see NCC take on UWW...if for nothing else than to see how we stack up against the best of the best. I've wanted to see us play UWW or UMU ever since we got our program turned around a few years ago.

Can we compete? How far away are we from being in their league?

Those games should be available on the internet so you can see how well St. Norbert does.

As a complete outsider, I think the Round 2 game is going to make or break NCC's season and Round 1 will be the key for Wheaton.  If NCC ends up losing to Whitewater, even if a blowout, it was expected and there is no shame in losing to best team in the nation.  But if NCC gets tripped up by Ohio Northern, or gasp - Wittenberg - then the entire season is wasted.  Probably too harsh a stance, but that is what the national opinion on it will be. 

Plus factor in Wheaton's tough draw in the West bracket in Round 1 and it could be a really bad showing for the CCIW.  But if Wheaton wins Round 1, there's a decent chance they could win the region to set up another showdown in Alliance, which would be a huge success for the CCIW as a whole.

Going to be very interesting which scenario plays out.  Personally I'm pulling for both NCC and Wheaton to make at least the regional finals.  I hate to root against Ohio Northern, but I think NCC has a much better chance against UWW than ONU would.

Last I heard it was a 32 team field. Not a 31 team field with NCC betting a bye. Hide and watch.

The only team that's getting a bye is UMU

Once you let Roop in, there goes the neighborhood.  It's like this: I wanna take up for SNC and the MWC, but I have to accept that my position is still somewhat weak.  Until we start sending men (AKA The Blueboys) in to do a man's job, we're always gonna be underdogs. But that's a year or so off.  In the meantime, as a life-long Longhorns fan, I have learned a thing or 5, recently, about overconfidence.  The game must be played.  Go Knights! Now Roop, you need to head home. It's getting late. You don't want to find yourself in this neighborhood after dark...

Disagree on Wheaton after rd 1. They certainly have a shot, but I'd have them 4th behind UST, Linfield and Wartburg and a push against Bethel. But I'd say every one of those matchups could easily go either way. The West is just too tight to say anyone has an inside track, but if you had to pick a favorite, wouldn't it seem to be the winner of the (potential) Linfield - UST game in rd 2? At least on paper, which is wonderfully meaningless...can't wait for kickoff!

Who's overconfident? It's one and done if you're not careful. GO CARDS!
