Wow MC with only 6 all conference players (5 positional) while Carroll has 15??? I know with the victor goes the spoils but didn't St. Norbert's win the conference??? Didn't they kinda clobber Carroll. MC doesn't even get honorable mention picks? Defensive players with 15 tackles in 9 games and 1 TFL are all conference???? I know stats don't say it all and kids get doubled teamed and play injured etc but c'mon. MC did tie for 2nd didn't they?? Man beating Carroll had to be the greatest upset of all-time with their superior talent.  How about a kid that was 2nd team  all conference last year has just as good of a year and doesn't even show up on the HM list?Oh well I don't know how the process works maybe coaches have to nominate etc or the rest of the coaches were just tired of MC dominating the list, but I expect it will just be some added motivation for MC next year.
I thought it was odd about the HM's also.  Last season there were 56 players named honorable mention to only 20 this year.  Not sure why they went soup nazi on the honorable mention spots this year?

I'm trying to fly the MWC Banner on the CCIW Board but all they talk about is the show down with Whitewater. Lets prove them wrong in the first round.

Good luck to the Green Knights.  As much as I would draw EXTREME satisfaction in seeing UW-W going to NCC and showing the selection committee the errors of it's ways, I can't bring myself to root for an Illinois school against a Wisconsin school.  ;D

Go Knights!

There was some shuffling with the brackets this year but how the #1 in the country doesn't get a #1 in the seedings still baffles me.

As near as I can tell, it boils down to 2 things:

1) remember that the polls don't mean anything and have no impact on the selection or seeding process (unlike, for example, the BCS)

2) UWW's playing NAIA foes hurt their 'score'

3.  The selection committee was clueless and didn't know the WARHAWKS and NCC had a common opponent, Eau Claire.

4.  After years of not following their published guidelines the selection committee set a precedent and followed them this year.


Just thought I'd add a couple of factors

As an SNC fan, I wish #4 could have been started last year...  >:(

SNC would have been a one and done last year. This year I think they have a chance.

I realize that all conference is not the biggest deal in the world but I really was just curious on how the teams are selected.Not to beat a dead horse but Carroll with 15? and Beloit with 12? While I know some of these kids are deserving how does a defensive player with 15 taclkes and 1 TFL make it? I don't care if the kid was tripled teamed all year you should do better than that in 9 conference games. How many all conference selections did MC have who dominated the conference last year have??? Don't remember but I don't think they had 15 and that included more than twice the number of HM picks. Well anyway good luck to Carroll in the playoffs tomorrow with your whole team basically making all conference you should be a shoo in oops wait a minute thats right SNC won conference.

Hey, Roop went there.  I just went in to fetch him back.  Thanks for the karma.  I'd lost 10% of my karma w/o even getting on the board.  So much hate out there...  Good luck tomorrow, my friend.  I'll be wearing my "Curd is the Word" t-shirt in support!  (It's the only thing "Wisconsin" I have.) ;D

I thought it was wierd how the conference decided to cut the number from 50+ down to 20. Maybe looking to put more "honor" into honorable mention

There have to be some karma hungry people out there stealing it from everyone, ive fluctuated quite a bit the last week and finally reached the negative mark.......

On a side note, good luck to SNCOLSON and the Knights tomorrow, I will be watching via webcast
