6. Grinnell (anyone that loses to Knox loses any tie breaker except head to head)
7. IC
8. Knox- not  LF
9. Knox on the rise!

Ok, why not...I'll throw in my 2 cents.

West Region
1) UW-Whitewater
2) St. Thomas
3) Wartburg
4) Cal Lutheran
5) Linfield
6) Bethel
7) Coe
8) St. Norbert

I think the IIAC and MIAC will both get 2 teams in while the others all get just their conf. champs into the dance.  Pairings match up the way they should: SNC @ UWW, Coe @ UST, Bethel @ Wartburg, and Linfield gets to visit Cal Lutheran for the second time this season out there in the western time zone.  Of course, all this gets thrown in the trash if UWW gets moved to another region, if Pacific Lutheran would happen to get an invite, or if the NCAA does any other crazy stuff.   Just my thoughts, feel free to tear into them...I promise it won't hurt my feelings...discuss!

I look at that and hope as a conference champion, SNC gets moved up ahead of a second-place finisher and avoids Whitewater... 

Once you get placed into the field of 32 they no longer look at what pool you came from. They place you purely on your merits (except for the West Coast). In that regard St. Norbert will end up at #8. The only way it doesn't happen is if Benedictine (NAthCon Champ) gets moved placed in the same region (happened in 2008). They have two losses (one against CCIW last place team North Park). St. Norbert might be place ahead of them. They would be placed a head of Benedictine if the Eagles lose to rival Aurora on Saturday.

Oh, I know it's wishful thinking...

I like it.
Who ever has to play Whitewater in the first round has my sympathy.

My guesses fir the last week of the regular season.

AU@CUC- "Game of the Week". AU's D has it going but can they stop the machine on O? If they can run the ball they will eat up time and will win. AU wins 28-27 in a barn burner.

CUW@LC- CUW has come on as of late and has to much D for LC. CUW wins 24-18.

MBBC@RC- RC is home and has a slight advantage. RC wins a defensive struggle 9-6.

BU@WLC- IMHO it's a trap game for BU. WLC can't make it to the playoffs and plays this game like a championship game for them. WLC wins 21-20.

My apologies for the wrong post. My fat fingers hit the wrong key. Good Luck to your teams this week.

No worries, old 40.   We are used to senile seniors on this board.....

No how bout this! MWC Final Rankings

7. IC
8. Knox- not  LF
9. Knox on the rise!

Ripon beat Carroll but lost to MC, and MC beat both, so I would say more of a tie for 3rd place with Ripon and Carroll, if we were to imply tie-breakers not records.

did you kick Lawrence up to the WIAC?

[The Roop]

Anybody that beats SNC and MC should be in the play offs. I think expanding to 33 teams is in order. Just put them up against a weak Pool A whose regular season is complete and play this Saturday as sort of a play in game. Maybe even hold it at a neutral site, like Austin TX so those folks could see some real football for a change

Your attempt to engage me is too obvious to deserve a quality response.  I cannot take time from the development of my manifesto to respond to this.  Raise your game, or don't play.  If you wanna be a big dog, y'gotta learn to pee in the tall grass...

No I did not forget Lawrence they simply did not make the poll.  Plus how can Knox be on the rise if someone wasn't ranked below them. Lawrence peaked for the season after their first half against MC.

Profound and well supported logic.  Now, as for Blueboy Nation's place on the list...  Stop hatin'!

No where to go but up for the Siwash!

[Redmen09]

According to the All-Sport standings points given out for football, the final conference rankings went like this:

1. St. Norbert
2. Monmouth
3. Ripon
4. Carroll
5. Grinnell
6. Beloit
7. Illinois College
8. Lake Forest
9. Lawrence
10. Knox

Maybe KnoxOnTheRise refers to cross country as they moved from 8th in '09 to 7th in '10.
