South Region playoffs

Maybe you're right, but come on, they're such a bunch of nerds. I can imagine the half time speech if they're beating someone at half time-

"You know when you were a baby in your crib, Your dad looked down at you and said some day my son will grow to be a man. Now...look at you. You just got your @$$e$ whipped...by a bunch of G%d D^#*ed nerds....NERDS! Well if I was you I'd do somethin' about it. I would get up, and redeem myself, in the eyes of my father, my maker, and my coach!"

-John Goodman

I love that movie, probably the best football movie ever made and there isn't even any game footage.

Meanwhile, JHU is in the other locker room discussing global politics and how they apply to the economic viability of a Division 1-A playoff system.

I'm kidding. I just wanted to have something to say.

TU2698 - that was great - lol

Very odd #2 ranking for Ferrum and no one seems to understand it. Maybe the committee will adjust their thinking over the next few weeks.

Mandefense -- ironically, the JHU schedule had 2 opponents that the d3football.com preview predicted to go undefeated and 2 teams that were predicted to go 7-3. Oh well.

They may still end up getting that home playoff game if they go unbeaten. Kid recently posted "I was told that if/when JHU beats McDaniel, then that will possibily bump the Jays past the Eagles (with BC losing to McDaniel)."

JHU needs to go get the CC AQ and go unbeaten before this matters. However, there is alot of football left to play.

TU2698 - I should have karma ability, but my 800 or so posts were never xferred over to the new board. Consider this a positive karma message.

Agreed. And it starts tomorrow. None of their last 3 games are pushovers.

BC all but clinches ODAC title.

gordonmann · October 29, 2005, 08:27:07 PM

I think they actually they do clinch.

The worst BC can do is finish 4-2 but they have wins over the other two-loss teams (Hampden-Sydney, W&L and Guilford).

BC joins SJU (MIAC), Lakeland (IBFC) and Monmouth (MWC) in wrapping up their bids early.

Trinity, Thiel & Ferrum remain unbeaten in the South.

Johns Hopkins suffers a first loss.
Salisbury suffers a second loss.

Third losses for (and all but gone)
Washington & Lee
East Texas Baptist
Centre
Thomas More

I think JH just messed alot up in the NCAA rankings today due to their favoring of geography to save money on the schools.

Any new possible outcomes for the next few weeks if the teams continue to win out, and one must think that the JH lost and also the Salisbury lost can only help WJ become a lower seed and a hopeful for making the playoffs?

?

Is that the right thinking here?

Sydney killed Dickinson.

eh....kid,

I've corrected my post from above.

I WAS going by the d3football.com scores & standings.

That's been changed now.

Bill McCabe · October 30, 2005, 08:10:35 AM

In looking at the South regional rankings, I would think Washington & Jefferson and Wesley replace Johns Hopkins and Salisbury in the polls. The top 6 teams all won.

Ron Boerger · October 30, 2005, 09:53:31 AM

Hmm, might there be room for one-loss Huntingdon and/or DePauw?

To be frank, DPU is not helping themselves with narrow wins the last two weeks against teams that aren't so good, e.g.

@DPU 7 Rhodes 3
@DPU 14 Centre 7

when you have in the same time period

@Trinity 45 Centre 7
Trinity 34 @Rhodes 6

Ron, Would you see DePauw or Huntington playing UMHB in Belton and HSU still going to Trinity?

I would think that one of the more southern teams in VA. would be sent to Texas. After all Wesley had to go to Texas to play a home game when they made the playoffs. And as it turned out Trinity's field wasn't much better!!! Wesley could very well play a Rowan or Del Val.

Huntingdon would be the more likely scenario, if they can get in. They are going to have to fly regardless. If DPU gets in, they could be shifted to the north bracket.

Not really high on either team getting in right now, but if as many teams lose the next two weeks, it could happen. DePauw needs to find their offense to get past Wabash.

To answer the other half of your question, it still seems likely that HSU plays at Trinity and UMHB gets someone that's flown in.
