Dutch, not only was I wrong, I was way wrong.  ;D

I am shocked that Linfield and Central are above UWW and St. Johns. Very strange.

I have to agree that if SNC gets in, and I think there is still a shot, they go to UWW or SJU rather than the west coast.

Stevens Point and UWLAX both have Whitewater left on the schedule, so they should both finish with 3 losses and be out of the running. UW-Stout could sneak into that last spot, but they have LAX left as well. I cant imagine SNC is far behind them in the regional rankings.

Guys, don't get me wrong. Going to Oregon is for personal reasons. Like relatives that live there and want to see my son play. I firmly feel that if SNC gets a bid you are absolutely correct on UWW or Johnnies.

But you have to start somewhere. Just give us the opportunity.  :-*

WEST REGION In-Region Record Overall Record
1. Linfield 6-0 7-0
2. Central (Iowa) 8-0 8-0
3. St. John's (Minnesota) 8-0 8-0
4. Wisconsin-Whitewater 5-0 7-0
5. Monmouth 8-0 8-0
6. St. Thomas (Minnesota) 6-1 6-1
7. Coe Redlands 6-1 6-1
8. Occidental 5-1 5-1
9. Cal Lutheran 5-1 5-1
10. Wisconsin-Stevens Point 4-1 5-2

Some surprises, the main one being Whitewater, holy cow.  And apparently Coe and Redlands are merging for the playoffs, gotta watch out for that team I guess.  Pat, the official NCAA release gave the number 7 spot in the West to "Coe Redlands"  I see you just put Coe and left out Redlands completely.  What's this about?

That's why you don't go to the NCAA site. We know who the teams are in Division III and we actually READ the rankings before posting them.

When I saw that, I called the person who issued the release and got a clarification. Only Coe is regionally ranked. Redlands is not.

Pat says don't trust the NCAA and his karma goes up. I say the same thing and I've lost a dozen points or so in the past week.

Probably because it's not the only thing I say.

Pat's reply works too!

But I say: That's the difference between owning a site and having a Roopacino named for you. :D

I think you're limited as to what you can say, so I say it for you. Beyond that I do say a lot of things that you wouldn't  ;)

And I am limited by a certain lineman that would kick my butt.  :-X

Even if he is not reading it himself, he hears about it pretty darn quick.  :o

Did not need to. Coaches figured it out before the son. No problem. I am not one to post stuff that would hurt anyone. At least I try not to. And if I do, they know where to find me.  :D

Pick for Week 8:

Beloit at St. Norbert - SNC
Carroll at Lawrence - CU
Illinois College at Monmouth - MC
Knox at Lake Forest - LFC
Ripon at Grinnell - RC

Good luck Fighting Scots! ;D  Make it a memorable last home game for the seniors...unless there is a home playoff game in the future. ;)

Go Scots!

mcwaterboy

Have no fear, it is the last home regular season game of the year but I predict the Scots will host at least one game in the playoffs if not more than one. 

Predictions:

Beloit at St. Norbert- St. Norbert rolls trying to impress and squeak in the playoffs
Carrol at Lawrence- Carrol, Big
Knox at Lake Forrest- might be a close one but gotta go with Lake Forrest.
Rippon at Grinnell- Rippon has a let down after the last two weeks and has to come from behind and pull out a close one.

IC at MC- Monmouth wins big.  Look for 70plus points again this year if IC manages to score around 20 like last year.  Hopefully the Scots will play like they are capable and every senior can get solid playing time on senior day.

Lets have SNC get to 9-1 before we start worrying about margins of victory. At the moment they are probably the #8 Pool C and will need some help as only 6 get in. Line them up in terms of the regional alphabet soup criteria and they won't be that high, however, they will leap frog higher based on geography and the unwritten limit of no more than 2 teams per conference getting in.

I was looking at the remaining CCIW schedules this morning and I'm not as convinced that they get two in as I was a week ago. Mainly because North Central handled Wheaton the way they did. A lone team from the CCIW also moves SNC up the list and it's not that far fetched.

Is that the limit that was in place two years ago when the Empire 8 got three teams in?
