Pat, I see you put the words "all but ignores" in there.

Not much respect , but I'm sure Adam was in on that analysis

Rowan is a tough squad no question, but the others have earned their spots & I'm not into the details in regards to the QOW but I'm thinking the schools ahead of Rowan have a higher number.

It is true that they probably should move above Dickinson

What if Cortland smokes Ithaca this weekend?  Then what have any of the E8 teams done to earn any respect this season? (besides an early Union loss to Springfield)

See, even Pat & Co. have them at 7 ... Pat, please provide you're rationale for that so I don't keep getting pounded for agreeing with it.

I don't get Pat.  I thought I read where he supported the D3 top 25 poll where Rowan was ahead of all but Wilks in the East.  Now he's on the other side.

Quite honestly don't have a difinitive answer for that outside of the aforementioned union loss & Fisher convincingly over U of R... It evidently falls somewhere in the tangled web of the QOW...

Doubtful that Cortland "smokes" Ithaca though.

Apparantly Upstate posting that and saying it was from D3FOOTBALL.COM had no effect on anyone...I believe a lot of the rationale is based on the Good ole QOWI Index.

Emotions are getting in the way of realizing that I think.

Pat get back here.  Now I remember.  Add back in the CNU game and I think Rowan QOWI is much higher.  He must have forgotten that one. 

Dickinson ahead of Rowan? puff the majic dragon lately?

The CNU game has...... and I don't care how many TIMES (I misspelled this as teams originally...) this has to be repeated ABSOLUTELY NO effect on the Regional QOWI which is used for determining the seeding.

[rowanlb92]

OK portgrad 1+k for repeating it.

No problem upstate :-)

Things in the Rockies are good.  Gorgeous day today and only a 4-day week.  That means off to sunny Buffalo Friday morning!

Believe there is sun in the forecast for Western New York on Friday, although haven't checked it today.

Bumper stickers now appearing on cars around town....

I Love Alfred, NY
where the SUN comes out once a week!
