Whitworth should be at least in the top 25 maybe 23?

Whitworth is 100% a top 25 team but voters are going to wait till the Linfield result until they pull the trigger. They've been super impressive this season.

Agree--just not quality wins to put them on the rankings ('Cats are really only there because they started in the rankings).

Looking forward to playing PLU this Saturday and then the season comes down to win or stop playing the last week of the season... guys need to be sharp in all 3 phases of the game... big test this Saturday as it is a classic look ahead game and then what looks to be a shootout vs the Pirates...

Non-conference against Eastern Oregon and Chapman isn't going to get a lot of voters to bite.

The Cats better start making some PAT's after TD's or it might be a 9 game season.

The whole kicking game seems in shambles.... kick-offs, punts and PATs.

Yes, all year long.   That will be crucial against Whitworth and any playoff team.

Either Linfield or Whitworth could run the table. Both have very good athletes and coaches.

Run the NWC table or run the national table?

Since Linfield has not been severely tested it is hard to really get a read on them, in my opinion.  However. in reality a Linfield team is always capable of running the WHOLE enchilada. lol

Agreed. And he did say "could". So either way he's 100% correct! I was just trying to get a read on how good he thinks they are.

No doubt from watching Linfield football for decades that this team can compete with anyone in the country. Special teams make the whole package to win it all. Currently with a heavy heart and sound mind I would have to say the Cats better start doing a better job in that aspect or its a no go.

bleedpurple... I meant either NWC or WIAC or .

Has anyone seen or heard from Rick, aka the (former) mayor of McMinnville? He used to sit at the top of section A for all the Linfield home games, but I haven't seen him this year.
