And I see a big difference between running a dive and audibleing to a pass play.

True, and maybe the FB dive scores anyway. But you wouldn't check out of taking a knee and everyone would be on the same page. I don't think this is a big deal...but it's been awkward a few times and I wish we'd just take a knee with a minute left rather than score.

Now comes that annual point in the season where (having already lost to Linfield), I sit here wondering what would happen if someone, in this case Pacific, were to beat Linfield and leave us with a 3-way tie.  What is that tie-breaker again???  I searched the NWC site and couldn't find it.  Then, briefly, looked at previous years posts.  I gave up on that search quickly.  Of course the Lutes still have to get by Whitworth.  But should that happen, next Sunday the feeling, and need to know, will be far worse.

Anyone out there have the tie-breaker at their fingertips?

I've seen Linfield take the knee many a time when they could have scored again. I think it happened this year in the PLU game.

(509)Rat....not sure your analogy works when talking about the first half of a game. Linfield didn't pass once in the second half of the L&C game. They probably could have scored 150 or more if they wanted. I think they showed a lot of class.

Anyone see the Nike advertisement on the new board at the catdome?

Somebody please tell me how Mt. Union can be ranked #1 when they won a game earlier in the year by only 3 points and yesterday, granted a good team, but by 10 and they're still ranked #1 whereas Linfield has beaten some very good teams and the closest anyone has gotten to us is 29 points and we are ranked behind them?

Yes I know they've been ranked #1 for years but doesn't anything any other team does enter into consideration?

Mount has proven it time after time after time.  Until someone knocks them off a few close games against other top 10 teams will not change votes.  I'm fine with that since we have a playoff to prove it.

No, they're the defending National Champs. If Linfield takes care of business, they will have a chance to become the new National Champion.

Winning the Northwest Conference gives LINFIELD a chance at the brass ring. Don't you faithful be surprised longer than a few LEAVE NO DOUBT seconds if the WILDCATS are not #1 in the regional rankings or seeded where they have a chance to win four home games.
Let's just ride the momentum of the National Champion baseball team and do it ourselves.

All that matters to me is the final ranking !!

1) Bethel
2) UWWW
3) Linfield
Etc....(Yadda, Yadda)

The regional rankings come out on Wednesday I believe. It might shed some light on how the playoff brackets will look. Pat and the gang usually start making playoff pairing predictions at that point. And they've been pretty accurate in the past. Remember UWW or some other team usually gets shipped North or East and out of the West because of how stacked the West is.

Not sure how much SOS plays a factor? Probably some % of consideration.

I'll be rooting for SJU in 2 weeks. Behtel vs. SJU @ SJU

Sure looks to me like PLU bullied poor ole UPS with that last minute play at the goal line. :( Now we just can't have that in this enlightened era of humanity. And from Lutherans, for pete's sake. "Oh the humanity"... the  blow to tender feelings, the permanent damage to psyche, and the lowered self esteem. ::)

This is just outrageous to have this happen in D3. :o

Oh, you say Linfield's been whipping teams by 50, 60. or 70 points? NEVER MIND;)

SOS will be key in the West unless some undefeated teams lose during the last two weeks. 
Go Cats!
