FB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[D O.C.]

The season is over!
Redlands 36  PPitz 14

I've heard all sorts of rumors about where the west region voting members are from this year.

From the championship handbook:

West Evaluation Region
Bob Berezowitz, University of Wisconsin, Whitewater, cochair
Al Dorenkamp, Central College (Iowa), cochair
Rick Candaele, Claremont McKenna-Harvey Mudd-Scripps Colleges
Steve Johnson, Bethel College
Eric Raeburn, Coe College
Larry Terry, University of Wisconsin, Lacrosse
John Tully, Whitworth College
Greg Wallace, Grinnell College

[RFB]

Congratulations to Cal Lu for handling business. Cal Lu should get into the playoffs. If your lone loss is to a top ten DIII football team, then my opinion is that team should get a chance to play. If not, then that poll has no weight.

Hey Dawgs, way to finish the season strong. Remember who really owns this conference and come big next season.

That's the group?  No wonder we even have to bring this up.  3 IIAC folk?  and 2 WIAC?  Something's wrong here!  Go Cal Lu!

Nice work Scandi!

RFB,

Not to be a jerk, but that poll (whichever one you are talking about) does have no weight.  The d3football.com, afca and harris polls are just fun things for us to argue about.  The only rankings that really matter are the NCAA Regional Rankings, and still their impact is limited.

Needless to say, I think that only one loss, to an undefeated team that has qualified for the playoffs, should not exclude CLu from the dance.  Granted it was a lopsided game.  It was also the Kingsmen's second game of the season.

I would really like to travel to Mac for a game against Linfield next week.  But at the same time, I wouldn't mind the NCAA bucking their recent trend and throwing CLU down to Eagle Rock for a rematch against Oxy.  It would be an entirely different game!

See you all tomorrow!  Kingsmen!  Rah!

[OxyFan21]

You think they'd send Cal Lu down to Eagle Rock?  Regardless, we should all pull for two SCIAC teams to make it.  We'll see whether it happens!

GO TIGERS!

[ChiTownOxyMoron]

Well, Cal Lu did what they had to do to be considered for the playoffs. A big win like that may help. Good job coming through in the clutch.

[OxyFan21]

Pat,
If you read this, I tried reading your predictions over again, but maybe I just don't get it.  You have Oxy in the South...playing against who?  Sorry for my ineptness.

[D O.C.]

He's in the make-up room at the ESPN studios in New York City...probably.
I agree w/ O Bob. I get the feeling on a quick read that you will get the 2004 runner-up in your crib.
I could not go back far enough to get the regional rankings.

[OxyFan21]

Thanks guys.  That would be a tough game.

[OxyFan21]

The South #3 vs. West #4 would mean Thiel vs. Oxy, no?

[scandihoovian]

OK - this is a little off topic and I'll admit I'm trying to kill time until 10:00, but I wanted to mention that this week's Sports Illustrated has a great piece on D3 and one of the featured athletes is the men's soccer goalie from Redlands.  I'll check the SI website to see if it's linked.  Regardless, nice national pub for one of our own.

Linfield vs. Occidental, first round.  Great work, NCAA selection committee.
