FB: Midwest Conference

[Pat Coleman]

MWCalum...I never said I thought St. Thomas was getting in...just because your ranked regionally top 10 doesn't mean you're getting in. (count the regions...there's only 32 spots)

And there's no guarantee eight West teams get in, either.

[fightintitan2006]

I don't think Ripon is going to get in, but I wouldn't be shocked if the showed up in the regional rankings after the 9 and 10 teams lost last week. Many of the 2-loss teams this year who are in the picture have a strange or questionable loss, while RC was solid throughout and played well in both losses. They will get respect from coaches for going on the road to a WIAC school and outplaying them. Sure UWO is bad by record, but coaches realize how good that league is.

Here's a question for the board...with all MWC teams having a bye this week, does Ripon by NCAA or MWC rules get to keep practicing in case they do get selected

Any way to petition against seeing nude fat-then-thin dudes on the front page?  I didn't this was THAT kind of website....

Bobo: WIAC=best conference in nation.. anytime a team would play them and make it close, especially a team who is usually decent in oshkosh, it looks good.. they took the conference champ to OT.. obviously not a bad team, just young and inexperienced..

That post is an instant classic and I can't believe no one else "got it". Granted the pic isn't the greatest but it's easy enough to figure out.

I will let Bobo explain it. Then UW-0 needs a new mascot.

Throwing more West Region playoff scenarios out there cuz I'm bored

Wartburg@North Central.......North Central moving is making more and more sense to me and this seems to be the only for sure matchup if they are

If Stevens Point wins there in regardless, if they lose Redlands is in if they win, if they don't Stevens Point still gets in regardless of their loss

Whitewater is in no matter what with a highly expected win this week.

Best situation for the Scots (the one that has them playing anyone but Whitewater) is Stevens Point loses, Redlands loses......Stevens Point comes to Monmouth and St. Johns/Carleton go to Whitewater, and Oxy at Willamette

Whats does Northwestern winning do to this scenario? They are probably a slight dog, but its certianly not improbable for them to win on Saturday.

I believe UWSP, should they beat La Crosse and win the WIAC, will be seeded higher than Monmouth when the pairing come out.  I also believe that if Whitewater wins and Point loses, Whitewater will be seeded higher, as well.  It only makes sense that a 9-1 WIAC Champion will grade out higher in the end than an defeated MWC Champion.  What do you think MWCfan?

I don't really know what it means...I thought it was a cute picture!!

I agree with it, but the NCAA...I'm not sure.

Weather convenient I may go to the Point game Saturday. Not real interested in either team but it does have play off implications and getting a little WIAC flava never hurt anybody.

West Bracket
1. Willamette
2. North Central
3. Occidental
4. Monmouth
5. UW-Stevens Point
6. UW-Whitewater (C)
7. MIAC winner
8. Wartburg
Moving North Central over here as we have only seven West teams qualifying and they dovetail nicely into this bracket. St. John's can get there in under 500 miles, so it works out. And yes, money rules all here so Occidental goes to Willamette. That and the two WIAC teams leave a mess elsewhere, so here's how we would pair up the rest of the first round: Wartburg at North Central, UW-Whitewater at Monmouth and the MIAC winner at UW-Stevens Point.

This is D3Football.com's take on it. Yes, they are projections and depending on games tomorrow, some wrenches could be thrown in there. If this stays true, what a draw for the Scots. For some reason I just can't see the defending champs on the road, especially going to a place that fits 5,000 at the most. In my opinion that number will be what hurts the Scots' chances of a home game. Hopefully I am wrong, however.
