What the heck is going on in NCC game?
NCC 28 IWU 20 4Q

What's going on is the Cardinals keep getting personal foul/unsportsmanlike conduct 15 yard penalties!
Not their typical championship type play at all. Actually, pretty immature and stupid behavior.

[GusD]

The IWU announcers keep  referring to NCC #1 as Anton Cassell. Has Sean Allen been vaporized? 

[GusD]

NCC now up 42-20 with 5 minutes left. That's more like it.

[WUPHF]

Defensive freshman of the year: Jack Middleton, Washington University.  Third in sacks, second in tackles for a loss.

Otherwise, this was a great year for CCIW football.

Hats off to Augustana, they played great today.

NCC now up 42-20 with 5 minutes left. That's more like it.

And that's the final as NCC wraps up another u defeated regular season.

Coach Norm graciously shaking hands with the Cardinals staff.
Congrats to him on a long and strong career.

For Pool C watchers:

Wabash lost (was #8 pool C)
Marietta lost (was #6 pool C)
Oshkosh lost (was #7 Pool C)
Those 3 results area all great for Wheaton but there are other teams still playing that could affect final NPI:

Texas Lutheran is in OT w Southwestern (TLU is #11 Pool C)
UWP is in a battle with Stout (UWP losing makes them a pool C bid stealer)
Linfield is beating Whitworth (Whitworth is a bid stealer with a loss)

Other teams around Wheaton's NPI rank include:
Trinity (winning easily)
UMHB (won today)
Monomouth (won today)

[USee]

TLU wins in OT after tailing 10-0 in the 4th qtr.

UWP is up 8 in the 4th quarter.

Linfield well ahead of Whitworth.

Wheaton needed 3 spots and got them  with Wabash, Marietta and Oshkosh result but Whitworth is a bid stealer so it might be close on NPI.

[CarollFan]

You guys think they will publish updated NPI before announcing brackets?

[USee]

D3datacast guys will definitely run the math and have the numbers. LoganHansen probably as well. We will know by morning latest. Only suspense will be the brackets.

NPI update!

Wheaton currently sitting at 13th ... one hundredth behind UMHB.

Marietta's loss seems to not yet be included ... stay posted!

[USee]

whitworth also not yet included

[wheatie barefooter]

But beware of John Carroll ... their win over Marietta, once posted, will give them a nice bump in NPI ... enough to jump over Wheaton?  We'll see.

[wheatie barefooter]

I would suspect that both Whitworth and Linfield will stay above Wheaton ... but swapping A and C bids, right?
