Hey Llama,

The player is my brother. It was in a past post answering ron boegers earlier question. Don't bring him up, the staff at CNU does not allow players to get on these boards.

Keep up with info. They put him back on offense and he played against Greensboro. Not much, but I'm not complaining.

Fair enough! I hope that his senior season turns out to be a great one with a deep run into the playoffs! Not trying to bully anyone around just don't take too kindly to those who think I'm all BC all the time. Yes I want the Eagles to make the playoffs but if they don't get the job done on the field then I will be there cheering for another South Region team to carry the flag for the South!

So, if the NCAA regional rankings were released this week, given what Llamaguy has provided, would this be the south's top 10?

	School	In-Region, Overall
1.	Wesley	4-0, 6-0
2.	Christopher Newport	5-0, 5-1
3.	Mary Hardin-Baylor	5-1, 5-1
4.	Carnegie Mellon	5-0, 6-0
5.	Hardin-Simmons	4-1, 4-1
6.	Washington & Jefferson	4-1, 5-1
7.	Trinity (Texas)	5-1, 5-1
8.	DePauw	5-1, 5-1
9.	Dickinson	5-1, 5-1
10.	Washington & Lee	5-1, 5-1

It seems Bridgewater (Va.) would be the next one in.

Llamaguy · October 17, 2006, 11:58:45 AM

Looks about right but remember they don't look at QOWI that closely so the 7-11 spots could be shifted quite a bit.

Crowdmaker · October 17, 2006, 01:46:47 PM

I could be wrong, as I'm rather new to these boards....but how does Dickinson losing to Hobart (not a south region team) give them a loss in the south region? Thanks.

So if that holds true the rest of the year what would the play-off matchups be. And I know nobody can tell what the NCAA will do besides the cheapest route possible but what are some ideas. Could there be a rematch between UMHB and CNU cause I would like to see that. Or will the Texas teams be forced to eliminate each other like they always do.

Last summer, the NCAA adopted a change for all sports that games inside the Geographic Membership Region (Region #2 is New York and Pennsylvania) would be considered "in-region".

Llamaguy · October 17, 2006, 02:13:38 PM

Billybaroo,
Really its too early to tell. I can tell you there will be a Texas-subbracket because it always saves the NCAA money. If Depauw makes it in then it will make it even easier to have the first two rounds in Texas. UMHB vs. DePauw & HSU vs. Trinity then the winners play the next week.
There are some early predictions on the General Football Board, "Way too early Guesses" for Playoff Regions Thread. Check it out.

Crowdmaker · October 17, 2006, 02:15:54 PM

Thanks for clearing that up for me Ralph.

I know it's early, but that scares the proverbial heeby-jeebies out of me. All 5 yds/game they're giving up on the ground. Alas, still very very early to tell.

I know its WAAAAAAAAAY early, but a CNU/WLU playoff game sounds like a great match to me. Assuming they both win out, they are both 9-1 and undefeated in the conference. Who would get the home game? My bet is on the Captains because of their schedule and win over UMHB, but I could be wrong. Id like to hear the ODAC/WLU fans input on this.

I don't know if the caliber of the UMHB win would be the biggest factor, but rather that CNU would be undefeated in region while W&L would have one in-region loss. That right there probably would give CNU the home game in that scenario.

Right-on Legacy! Thats exactly why CNU would host.

Some interesting Playoff tidbits after this week.

If the conference leaders win their respective conferences:
USAC-CNU, ASC-UMHB, ODAC-W&L, SCAC-Trinity, CC-Dikinson, and with 3 teams being Pool B, that leaves only 2 teams in the South region in Pool C with one loss. Those two schools play each other leaving one Pool C contender with one loss in the weeks to come.
Point being, Pool B's will take Pool C spots this year or 2 regional loss teams may slip in, but I doubt it would be from the South Region unless its HSU.
Remember, there doesn't have to be 8 teams out of the South Region, only 5 automatics and the rest compete with the entire nation for the other 11 spots, 4 Pool B, & 7 Pool C. I like the teams we have to make a run at the Stagg Bowl!

kickerdad · October 25, 2006, 01:36:38 PM

I guess everybody is writting off Averett even though they haven't even taken the field yet against CNU. I hope everyone who has penciled CNU
in as the USAC rep. doesn't have to eat any crow. I know we are the
underdogs and even a lose to CNU won't make this season a bad one.

I just hope Averett is able to show the conference and everyone else
what they really have (18 or 19 Seniors and about the same number in
1st, 2nd and Honorable mention All Conference players from last year) and they only need to get all the "T" crossed and I's Dotted at the same time. As I mentioned on one of the other post earlier, if Averett ever hits full
throttle this year, someone better watch out. I hope Averett and CNU both
go into the Nov 4th game undefeated in the Conference.
