Cornell blocks a FG and returns it for a score.  Cornell upsets IC in OT.

[gbpuckfan]

Yeah Rams!

SNC up 17-0

The Good Guys add two more scores in the 3rd to go up 42-14.  Starting the 4th.

Mav: You called the correct GOW.  Congrats to Cornell.

SNC wins 23-0 for at least a share of the title.

Congrats to Lawrence for getting its first win of the season, beating Knox on a Barthelmess to Barthelmess TD pass to end the game

KC and LU must have been a barf'n mess, alright!

I figured that would end up being a close game, just for all the opposite reasons on why IC/Cornell looked like the GOW.

Looking forward to the final week of the regular season, there are certainly some good match-ups ahead of everyone...a couple games with conference championship implications, as well as a couple other games that are always good rivalries.

Playoff picture -- St. Norbert is in with a win over Lake Forest.  If they lose, they still get the Pool A with an Illinois College loss at Carroll.  If IC wins and St Norbert loses, IC is likely in.  IC currently leads the quarters led tiebreaker 28-25 (by my count).

[The Roop]

Both teams are on the road, so it should be interesting. The difference being that IC is in a must win situation. SNC is not. Should they both lose, SNC gets the Pool A and IC stays home with 2 losses on the year; etc. I can't see a 2 loss MWC team making the playoffs. Should they both win, SNC gets the Pool A and IC will have to wait on the selection committee.

TitanPrides scenario is probably right. The non-conference debacle probably keeps SNC out of the field of 32.

Any Lake Forest fans this week?

[Redhawk Sighting]

So this next comment has nothing to do with the out come of the MC RC game.  This comment to is to go with fulbakdad's comment..  The individual that was doing the talking during the MC game via the webcast needs to have a little more excitement.  He put me to sleep.  Have a great week.

[TitanPride]

Lots of Forester fans down in Jacksonville, fulbakdad.  Hoping your offense found a little magic during the bye week.

[fulbakdad]

Should be an interesting game.  There's no love lost between these two teams. 

There are a lot of seniors with memories from the past couple years....I'm sure they'll want to go out with a bang.

Looking forward to seeing this one....

The Top 25 voting once again baffles me.  How does Ill Col still get 17 votes for top 25, but is really now the dark horse in even getting to the play offs?

I guess it's the same as how they kept voting for NESCAC teams.  Actually thought they would have 3 NESCAC teams just under the top 25 since they ended in a 3 way tie! LOL.

Yes Pat, that was for you.

[badgerwarhawk]

Don't confuse the Top 25 with the regional rankings.  It's not relevant and has no bearing on the regional rankings.  Assuming St Norberts wins the conference championship and receives the Pool A automatic bid Illinois College becomes a dark horse because the odds of the MWC getting two teams into the postseason are not good.  Illinois College was ranked 8th in the first regional rankings.  Without an automatic bid there are just too many teams with better criteria for them to have a lock on one of only five available Pool C at large bids.  Illinois College needs Saint Norberts opponent to beat them so they can receive the conference's automatic bid if they want to play in two weeks.  Good luck to them.   

[fulbakdad]

There was no confusion.  I have been complaining on the Trinity Conn votes for the past couple years.
