I gotta agree with you scandihoovan, but remember the SCIAC is an upstart and has just started to make a ripple in the D3 pic., PLU has tradition and a coach with a known name, I think Squires played for his dad if I am not wrong, its just my hope that all the SCIAC teams can bring a few W's to the league, it would be a nice way to start the season and gain alittle respect.

I don't know much about non SCIAC teams but here are my predictions.

UPS 6  PP 0
Whitworth 38  Redlands 31
Oxy 31  Chapman 7
Kings Point 20  Claremont 10
Whittier 28 Colorado 24
PLU 24  CLU 21
Hail to the Orange!!!

Wasn't UPS SCIAC North champs last season? What's with these predictions of P-P defeating the Loggers? No way it happens. Sure they only won 10-7 last season, but remember that the Loggers had lost 27 of their last 28 games and had to learn how to win again. I'm predicting more of a UPS-LaVerne score from last year, 30-13.

And what's with Pomona's head coach going on sabbatical during football season? That's one of the oddest things I've heard.

Caron went to coach at Cheshire academy back East, where his son is a freshman.  Does anyone know if this is a true sabbatical, or if there will be a national search at the end of the year?

Carlos Rossi-
Are you a NWC guy posing as a LaVerne poster?

Pitzer can surprise just about anyone,  Tough fought loss last week.  If the O could hold a drive instead of 3 and out and give the D a bit more rest they will have a chance to be in any game.  PP beat Redlands last year, and Trinity Tx the year before.  Even with all the transition they are a team striving for respect.

It was just noted on the NWC board that Lewis & Clark is suspending football this year.

They were to play 2 SCIAC schools (Oxy and CMS) as well as Chapman.

Oxy was supposed to play them on Sept. 17th.

rbaikie, if you read the statement closely, it does not say what you think it says.

Scandi-
If you are referring to the NWC bias in my picks I guess it's just hard for me to pick someone in the SCIAC other than the Leps to win .  I hope the teams I picked against prove me wrong.
Oh yeah, except Redlands.
And CLU.
And Claremont.
Hail to the Orange!!!

I guess I would have to say it's a shame that a team has to get rid of conference games, but SCIAC people might look at like Cal Tech having a football team.  I'm not saying L&C is like Cal Tech (in athletics, not academics cause nobody is like the Techsters in the classroom) but imagine if Tech had a football team.  Might not be the best way to look at it, but you could only immagine.  Still, it sure sucks to see a team do that to the rest of the conference.

Tom: I ain't  no engineer, but I have been led to believe that MIT is pretty much like Cal Tech in the classroom and additionally fields a DIII football team.

Sorry - I missed the part about Lewis & Clark only playing non conference this year.

That makes little sense - I would think that they have more of a commitment to the conference. Also, costwise - why make two trips to Southern California?

My gut feel is that there will be no football their next year either or for maybe a long time -

Frank.  What I meant to say is that nobody in the SCIAC or on the west coast is like the Techsters.  I really had no idea that MIT had a football team, but I do know they are in a league of their own in the classroom.  Learn something new every day.

Carlos-

No worries - although it's big for all the conference members to play well against non-conference opponents.  I think you'll find there's plenty of time to get your anti- Kingsmen/Bulldog/Stag energy out of your system during conference play  ;D

The thing with Lewis & Clark is even more extreme than what PP did about 8-9 years ago when they pulled out the conference so that they wouldn't have to play a select few teams (I know CLU was one of them but I can't remember the others).  I hope that L&C is able to get things back together as well.
