don't look for any help in the SOS the rest of the way from  UHS,So.lutes or CRW..

Case Western is to be thanked one last time for filling a hole in our schedule and that's about it. Oh! and their good video feed that was FREE.

From CLU Coach's blog:  "... but first I need to put a plea for mercy out to mi amigos at #2 Linfield to not score 100 points against Puget Sound.  We all know you can do it, we appreciate that you emptied your bench against L&C and still scored 80+, and I am only kidding around on this matter.  I don't care much what happens, but this is a nightmare mismatch."

The boys will take whatever the loggers give us. If it's (#1) the ground then look for YOMAN /HILL to score, if it's  (#2) the air pick anyone open and they will score.  Easy right ?  One game at a time   


And don't forget the salty D  they could score again too.
Go Cats
Go Big D

Yes indeed, Video feed is one of the better ones (Willamette had a good one and free as well).

Can someone explain to me why Bethel isn't rated Number 2 on the D3football.com top 25 with 6 first place votes if Pat and Keith think they are the top rated West team in the West NCAA Region? As discussed in the PodCast. I'm not getting it.

The d3 staff knew all about the returning defense.

Blue,

Pat and Keith are talking about Bethel's SOS which will be better than anybody in the region at this point and should carry them as the top ranked west region team when those regionals comes out tomorrow.  The d3football.com top 25 have zero impact on how the NCAA puts together these rankings.

Do Pat and Keith think Bethel is the best team in the west region?  I doubt it.

The real reason is Bethel started the season ranked lower and the Tommies lost to St. John's before Bethel could beat them.  There's not much separation between 2-6.

AO....2-6 how? SOS? West Regional ranking? Poll?

Bluenote -- haven't you been following Division III long enough to know that the regional rankings don't use the same criteria that national rankings voters use?

We requested from all 244 schools before the redesign went live. There are still some that we haven't heard from and I'll send out follow-up emails when I can figure out who needs to get them.

I was trying to answer Bluenote's question about the top 25 poll.  Timing is everything.  If the Tommie/Johnnie game was after the Bethel/Tommie game or if Oshkosh beat Linfield before instead of after beating Bethel.
