South Region playoffs

Hmmm

What's next?? 4 team brackets with the closer brackets matching up throughout the playoffs. I truly thought that there would be 2 flights in the second round. Talk about being sacked as a top three seeding...

[Pat Coleman]

Something I don't understand - on the NCAA bracket itself, in the second round it says "seeding first, followed by national rank".  What does THAT mean??

Hmm, in the past I put the Top 25 ranking on the line with the teams. Didn't get to that this year.

[Ron Boerger]

Sorry, Pat, I thought that came from the AA.  Thanks for clarifying.

And as I review the bracket, I think that we are in line for two flights in the second round as it stands now.

Here are D3football.com's picks for week one of the South Region bracket. The predicted scores should make for interesting conversation.

MILLSAPS (South) BRACKET
No. 8 LaGrange at No. 1 Millsaps
Keith: Millsaps, 49-17
Ryan: Millsaps, 45-10
Pat: Millsaps, 63-3

No. 6 Christopher Newport at No. 5 Washington & Jefferson
Keith: W&J, 28-21
Ryan: W&J, 34-31
Pat: W&J, 24-21

No. 7 Wesley at No. 4 Muhlenberg
Keith: Wesley, 21-20
Ryan: Wesley, 31-20
Pat: Wesley, 31-23

No. 3 Hardin-Simmons at No. 2 Mary Hardin-Baylor
Keith: Hardin-Simmons, 20-18
Ryan: Hardin-Simmons, 27-24
Pat: Hardin-Simmons, 38-35

[Josh Bowerman]

I think if HSU can score more than 21 against the Crusaders tomorrow, there's a good chance of them winning the game.  If it's a low-scoring game, that probably means the UMHB defense is playing well and the Crusader running attack is eating up a lot of time off the clock.

[ATownStomp]

Wow, all of you guys picked Hardin Simmons. I just like the formula of running the ball and defense especially in the postseason. Although it looks like it should ba great game. Real hard for me to gage either Texas team though all the way from ATown... although according to the NCAA's it is somehow located in the ...South?

[Ron Boerger]

I am a bit suprised at the unanimous HSU pick.

I am not surprised about the unanimous Wesley pick.   

At least if I am wrong, I'll be in good company.

Gents,
The D3 picks are logical. I, quite naturally, must defy logic and say that the Mules can and will upset Wesley,
if they can hold them to 30 points or less....no small feat....but it can be done....turnovers, quarterback pressure, and tight defense will be required to kick the Wolverines...otherwise, it will be a long afternoon..
Go Mules.....

I got the other picks right, if the D3 crew is on the money...

No. 8 LaGrange at No. 1 Millsaps
Keith: Millsaps, 49-17
Ryan: Millsaps, 45-10
Pat: Millsaps, 63-3

I'd love to see it, but I'm expecting a tough game out of LaGrange.

[frank_ezelle]

I see that Pat got my shipment of Millsaps Kool-Aid.  I sent enough to last all 5 weeks but he must have drunk it all at once!    I'll be happy with any of the three scores or any other score that has Millsaps scoring more points than LaGrange.

hello, i am new to the d3 boards but i have viewed them for about 2 seasons now. 

Well, im pretty anxious for the Wesley game tomorrow, and if Wesley plays like they have most of the season excluding their first game, i think we will win. but turnovers could hurt Wesley. Its more fumbles than anything. But they have shown improvement in the ballhandling category. i think Wesley has just too many weapons on both sides of the ball. They are a very fast team with a very poised and excellent QB in Shane McSweeny (I like him because he has a very good presence in the pocket, and knows how to use his legs). Muhlenberg is also a very good football team, but I fear that they have not played anyone that is as tough as Wesley I dont believe, but if Wesley plays like they know how to and we execute, we win.

A very warm welcome indeed!  Are you going to make the game?  Anyways, it will be a cold "hot" game!

I will be there, #92 jersey and all.

 Welcome Waterboy,
I have to agree with you. McSweeny will have to be on his A game though. The Mules like to biltz and gamble on  D which might cause some trouble but if they guess wrong Wesley has the right play called they will make some big plays downfield and if McSweeny gets by the blitz he will run for lots of yards. 

Prediction: Wesley 34 Mules 21
