FB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[shepherd]

CCIW players of the week are Wheaton's Garrett Meador, Illinois Wesleyan's Ryan Jenkins and North Central's Nick Dace.

This is the third time for Garrett Meador and should be a candidate for CCIW offensive player of the year. It was easy to notice the improvement Meador did during the off-season, he looked more lean and worked on his speed.  Its always great to see players who may have been slated for second string still work very hard during the off season and have it pay off.

Not sure how Wheaton is ranked higher than IWU with IWU winning the head to head and their only loss is to a team ranked higher than both of them.

that's the same thing people said about north central after they lost to redlands and nc was still ranked higher.

So if Wheaton wins Saturday, where do you rank the three teams?

I think you may see Wheaton ranked ahead of both teams in the polls and the regional rankings.

I think many believe if Wheaton & IWU were to play 10 times Wheaton would win 8-9 of them.  Wheaton is the better team who got beat in a close game on the road.

Studebaker comes up with a huge fumble recovery on MNFB and has his pick on the home page of ESPN and Sports Illustrated!

Living in KC, it's great to see him do well. Kansas and Mizzou have almost no DIII presence so most people have no concept of the quality of play at our level. (KC is also dominated by 3 FBS schools and home to 2 very good DII schools) It's great to be able to point to a player on the Chiefs roster and say, that is the type of player DIII is capable of producing.

Beat me to it...I love seeing the D-III schools represented in the NFL.

Who's the best Division III alum currently playing in the NFL?  Off the top of my head, I can think of Fred Jackson (Coe/Bills), Studebaker (Wheaton/Chiefs), and Pierre Garcon (Mt. Union/Colts).

You never know.  That is a rematch that could still occur in the playoffs!

That means that NC would have to lose Saturday, and NC fans don't want to see that .

Thank 8 lb 6 oz baby Jesus that will never happen. 

Going to make it to my first NCC game this season (was meaning to get to more but have been unable to thusfar). NCC W by 17.

Don't forget London Fletcher (John Caroll/Redskins).  2010 Pro Bowler and has never missed a game in his career.  Second longest active streak in the NFL.

[ExTartanPlayer]

Great catch, NewTradition...Fletcher is probably one of the most underrated players around the league because he's never had the good fortune to play for a winner.  He's one of those guys that I would love to see sign with a winning team late in his career as a leader/lockerroom guy, just because a guy like that deserves at least one chance to suit up in the playoffs.

I don't want to see it either.  But I feel very confident that exactly 50% of the teams that play this Saturday will lose.  So while I'd rather be part of the other 50%, I never discount that it is within the realm of possibility (see Redlands Box Score as Exhibit A).  And, if Wheaton wins Saturday doesn't that put them in a possible second round match up with IWU?

That's a good exhibit a and a great motivator to not relive the agony of da-feet . But seriously both teams should be fired up and ready to put on a good show come Saturday. Only five days to go..
