results win you awards, not moral victories

roop , tough call braun had to replace 7 starters on d and still led conference in scoring defense and total d though i agree beloit had a helluva a nice year.

[The Roop]

Beloit hasn't beaten Grinnell yet so I'm not giving Brann the COY by any means. All I'm saying is that it's hard to improve on 10-0 when you're expected to go 10-0 again. If Bell wins I won't have a problem with it. I just think that Beloit improved more than Monmouth did.

Hey Roop, whay if SNC gets a bid? Then who do you vote for COY?    

[The Roop]

I don't get a vote. 

[SNCOLDAD]

Start calling you Roger Dodger!

results win you awards, not moral victories

Beloit's Ed DeGeorge won COY in 2005 with a 5-5 (5-4) record. COY is base on results, but that can be measured in different ways, such as significant improvement in a team that has been bad for some time.

Also I think, LB Ryan Andersen from Ripon deserves some consideration for DPOY. If you've ever seen him play, the kid is all over the field. Baratti has him beat by 13 total tackles, but Andersen leads the conference in solo tackles and has one sack and .5 TFL more than the Beloit LB.

Baratti is very deserving, but I'm just throwing another name out there.

WEST REGION
1. St. John's 8-0 8-0
2. UW-Whitewater 6-0 8-0
3. Linfield 7-0 8-0
4. Central 9-0 9-0
5. Monmouth 9-0 9-0
6. St. Thomas 7-1 7-1
7. Coe 7-1 7-1
8. Cal Lutheran 6-1 6-1
9. Redlands 6-1 6-1
10. St. Norbert 8-1 8-1


Cal Lu and Redlands still have to play each other so SNC might jump one of those teams. St. Thomas still has a tough one left against Bethel.  Coe still has a tough one left against Buena Vista.  One of the teams on the list might go to the North region.

Is history brewing?  2 MWC teams in?

[MWCfan787]

Also, I thought Monmouth and Whitewater were the two most likely to move North.  Have two teams from the same conference ever got in but been placed in different regions?

[SNCOLDAD]

All I Can Say Is:






GO GREEN KNIGHTS

[SNCOLDAD]

Go Green Knights

Go Wartburg

Go Bethel

Go Buena Vista

[MWCfan787]

final regional standings will be:
1 st johns
2 linfield
3 central
4 monmouth
5 cal lu
6 coe
7 st norbert
8 bethel

1st round matchups:
st. norbert at st. johns

cal lu at linfield

bethel at central

coe at monmouth

remember you heard it here first on wed. nov 4th

[The Roop]

Let me drink the 3 west coast team Kool-Aid for a moment. Don't worry SNCOLDAD, I think you're still in even if this scenario comes true.

Cal Lu #5
@MH-B #4

Huntingdon #6
@Mississippi College #3

Occidental #7
@Linfield #1

NathCon winner #8
@Monmouth #2

This would be the South region................................   

We'll know more after this weeks CCIW games are played but I think there will be mixing and matching with all the regions this year, regardless of what happens.

Also, I thought Monmouth and Whitewater were the two most likely to move North.  Have two teams from the same conference ever got in but been placed in different regions?

Not uncommon.  One prominent example was several years ago when MUC won the North while JCU won the East.
