FB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

That's quite the karma you've got there Liger.

[Tom Brady]

I thought mentioning another poster "Slapping his willy" would increase your karma by a lot.  Damn I have a lot to learn on this board...

Let's hope both Cal Lu and Oxy win big this week to increase chances of getting into the playoffs and a better seed, respectively. If both teams get in and do well, that could solidify the SCIAC as a conference on the rise.

Go OXY! and although this hurts being the Oxy fan that I am, Go Cal Lu!

Hell, Go SCIAC!

Hell, Go SCIAC!

ChiMoron...

That's the spirit!  At this point we know that Oxy is in.  Why not pull for the rest of the SCIAC bunch to get a chance too!  The SCIAC is on the way.  We need as many teams as possible to have the cahnce to show others around the country that we can, in fact, play this game!

Good luck to CLU today.  Fight for your playoff life!

UW-Oshkosh is losing 33-18 to UW-La Crosse with 7 minutes to go.

Oshkosh is Cal Lutheran's only real competition for another West team squeezing in (not including a Texas team being moved West), so this is good news for Cal Lutheran if they win today. They will be the top West bubble team. Looks like it will all depend on whether there is another Pool C team(s) elsewhere in the country getting in ahead of them or not.

Any updates from Claremont?

[apgonzo]

Its over at Chapman 45 - 20 CLU is up, about 8:00 to go they have the second team in

Anyone got a cell phone out to Claremont?
A shame the 5th ranked team plays in China with no broadcast or updates for the rest of the world.

Impressive game for the CLU Kingsmen down at Chapman...59-20.  In listening to the game it sounded like CLU finished the game by letting the clock run out inside the Chapman 10 yd line with about 20 seconds to go.  Probably could have pushed it in, but a classy move nonetheless by Coach Squires. 

Now we wait and see.  It will be tough for the Guys to make it, unless as Pat suggested in his most recent projections that they ship UW-whoever to a North bracket. 

As I see it right now, the following teams are the West region teams...

Linfield (B) (regardless of win or loss tonight)
St. Johns (A)
UW-Whitewater (A)
Oxy (A)
Coe (A)
Monmouth (A)
Central (C)
Concordia-Moorhead (C)

then the others...
-Cal Lutheran
-Willamette (if they can beat Linfield, they probably deserve a berth despite their crappy record)
-St. Norbert (I think it would kill the NCAA to put a 2nd team from this weak conference, so i don't think it will happen)
-St. Olaf (sorry Oles but good year)
-Whitworth, Wartburg, and Oshkosh don't have a chance

My take is that it looks good for CLU if you just look at the West (assuming that UW or Monmouth gets shipped to the North).  Unfortunately, my understanding is that the committee looks at the entire national picture to pick the 32 teams, not just the best 8 in each region.

Frankly I would love to head up to Linfield to see a CLU game next weekend!

Hopeful!

FINAL

[scandihoovian]

Well - it's been awfully satisfying to see the Kingsmen have their best season in many years, and hopefully there's still some football left to be played.  It looks like, based on the piece on the front page, that many of Cal Lu's competitors for a pool C bid suffered second losses today.  I guess we'll know for sure in a little more than 12 hours, and I might now be to the point where I'd be disappointed if the Kingsmen didn't get a berth.  They may well get shipped north to play the Leviathan in McMinnville, but it's an opportunity I think they've earned.

scand,  

It's a tough call, but i hope you do, the cats were in the same boat a few years back and missed the dance.  So we know how you feel.. And i think their is a west coat thing hidding  out there ?  Check out where the voting members are this year? Just my opinon.. no calls or letters please..  

[scandihoovian]

I hear you desertcat - and I've heard all sorts of rumors about where the west region voting members are from this year.  Here's hoping for a Linfield-CLU playoff matchup, the first two were doozies - and I've been waiting 25 years for a third
