the unwritten limit of no more than 2 teams per conference getting in.

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

I never said it can't happen but it generally doesn't. As I recall it caused quite a stir when it was announced. Or was that the rival D3football.net website I logged on to by accident.

Monmouth not looking very good so far. Up 7-3 early in the second.

Memo to potential Monmouth playoff opponents.....throw the football.

SNC just got some unexpected help as Marietta knocked off Otterbein 25-22. This is significant as Otterbein was #2 in the North, still has to play Mt Union and no other OACs are in the regional rankings. In conclusion the OAC is no longer a lock to get two teams in as their OWPs should fall after this.

IWU also beat North Central. Hmmmmmmmmm, wasn't somebody talking about a shake up in the CCIW earlier today ??

So #7 and #9 have lost, what will this do to #10 Monmouth. Linfield is also in a battle as of this posting.

Hmmmm is right. No. 20 Thomas More also beat No. 11 Washington and Jefferson. What will this do to No. 10 Monmouth, you ask? Scottie's prediction:

#8 IWU, welcome to the top 25
#9 John Carroll, because they scored against Mt. Union.
#10 Thomas More
#11 Otterbein
#12 North Central
#13 Washington and Jefferson
#14 Good Guys slip because they don't ring up fitty.

A few p.s.'s

#13 Mississippi College also lost.

Boy, that LF v. Knox game must have been fun to watch.

The Fire going for two in a row next week against the Scots.

Illinois blew out Michigan as the 2007 Juice comes out of hibernation.

I didn't see the game, but it doesn't look like the IC QB picked MC apart.

Passing Att-Cmp-Int Yds TD Long Sack
-------------------------------------------------
Mitch Niekamp 44-25-2 169 1 18 0

According to the box score, the TD was of the one-yard variety.

Scottie, what are you smoking?

scottie · October 31, 2009, 10:47:18 PM

....cigarettes and watchin' Captain (Kang) Kangaroo.

Are you referring to my humorous ranking attempt? I think #8 has a nice ring to it...

Looks like SNC got some real help for their postseason aspirations today. The WIAC is a 1-bid league if Platteville beats Stout next weekend.

I would put money on Wheaton beating IWU next weekend.

Wheaton would then get the CCIW's auotmatic bid, but who gets the at-large. IWU who beat North Central or North Central who beat Wheaton...or does the CCIW get 3 in?

Wheaton would not get the AQ even with a win unless NCC loses again.

The only viable C for the CCIW is Wheaton (IF they beat IWU). There is no way the CCIW will get three teams in.

I'd say 'give me a PM if you're serious about betting money on Wheaton AT IWU', but Pat discourages gambling on the site!

[I expected NCC to win today; but now I expect IWU to win next week.]

I was at the Lake Forest-Knox game. I felt absolutely embarrassed for the Lake Forest Seniors. 12 of the 14 were on defense playing hard the hole game. The offense was terrible. They threw 5 interceptions. The offensive coaches finally got it together and ran the ball. Knox held a 40-20 time of possession advantage. The play of the Lake Forest quarterbacks (they used two) was abysmal.

the box score doesn't tell the whole tail, but for an offense to give up a safety and an int for a TD on the 10 yard line, and the defense only gave up 3 pts-- on the first drive. The Forester's played way below their abilities, the young offense had better have a great offseason.

Kudo's to knox for making sure that nobody in the conference went o-for the season.

#8 it is for the good guys. With 5 teams in the top 8, the West Region is looking rather robust, to say the least.

Any (good) reasons out there why SNC isn't even receiving votes?

p.s. Go Wartburg!

Perenially weak conference (in playoff terms) and Wartburg not living up to the hype this year.
