FB: Northwest Conference

... I actually think Willamette may get to the Stagg Bowl this year.

Before you put them in the Stagg Bowl they should at least win the NWC.  Just for the sake of keeping interest in the games, here are the possibilities still out there.  All are predicated upon Willamette losing to both UPS and Menlo.  If WU wins one more game the only teams that could tie them are PLU and/or Linfield, both of whom lose the head to head tie breaker.

Current Record followed by games remaining:
WU (4-0), UPS & Menlo
Linfield (3-1), UPS & PLU
PLU (2-1), WW, Menlo, LF
Whitworth (2-2), PLU & L&C
Menlo(1-2), L&C, WU, PLU
UPS (0-3), LF, WU & L&C
L&C (0-3), Menlo, WW, UPS

Scenarios:
1.   Willamette loses to UPS and Menlo, finishes 4-2.  Linfield beats UPS and PLU, finishes 5-1.  Linfield wins the conference outright.
2.   Willamette loses to UPS and Menlo, finishes 4-2.  PLU beats Whitworth, Menlo and Linfield, finishes 5-1.  PLU wins the conference outright.
3.   Insert numerous possibilities here that end in 3 way 4-2 ties that generally favor Willamette.  Including (but not limited to: WU-PLU-LF, WU-WW-Menlo, WU-LF-Menlo).
4.   Willamette loses to UPS and Menlo, finishes 4-2.  Menlo beats L&C, WU, and PLU, finishes 4-2.  Linfield loses to UPS and PLU finishes 3-3.  PLU loses to Whiworth and Menlo, beats Linfield, finishes 3-3.  Whitworth beats PLU and loses to L&C, finishes 3-3.  Menlo wins the head to head with Willamette and wins the conference.
5.   Willamette loses to UPS and Menlo, finishes 4-2.  Linfield beats UPS, loses to PLU, finishes 4-2.  PLU beats Whitworth and Linfield, Loses to Menlo, finishes 4-2.  Menlo beats L&C, WU, and PLU, finishes 4-2.  (4 way tie)

6.1.1 The team receiving the NCAA AQ will be determined by the following
procedure:
1. Best Conference Record
2. If two-way tie – Head to Head Result
3. If three-way tie – Head to Head among three, 2-0 advances
4. If three-way tie without 2-0 record – record vs. 4th place team
5. If still three-way tie – Over all Record
6. If still three-way tie – Last team to go receives AQ

...um...that gave me a migraine......

Stanbob,
  Must be pretty boring over on the Hamms and ice fishing board for you.  I have a favor to ask you as you are living in Alaska.  Send me an E-mail (listed on my profile ) with your opinion on your most famous Gov.P.

thanks

Oct 30 - Mark Speckman Interview - Season Update

Highlights:
Props to the D and O lines, and kickers.

I'm confident in saying that he'll have the team ready for UPS next Saturday.

Are you sure it's not a hangover blue?

Does warm milk and cookies do that? 8)

I think if you have enough it will produce a similar result... 

[bbaddict]

That's a sugar coma, not a hangover.  Feels similar.

With all of the marginal crap that is put up on all of the boards ,  At least this old material is a spin about  football and defense, or lack of O- rather than frickin hamms beer and ice fishing

Please. It's not about football either. It's just a lame joke.

Your jokes aren't that funny either but we don't complain about it ad nauseum.

I wasn't aware that one complaint qualified as ad nauseam in McMinnville.

....it's a small town.

PC, the denizens of McMinnville get ad nauseam'd very quickly. Remember, this is the town which charged two 7th grade boys with felony sexual abuse for smacking some of their female classmates on the butt.

The butt swats were the only part the media focused on. The boys were charged with sex abuse because they grabbed the girls' breasts.
