Linfield isn't an AQ. They would be pool B. The NWC becomes AQ next year.

FOr the rookies here, mainly me, can you all explain accronyms and abbreviations? I have no idea what is going on with these posts and what they are suggesting.
Thank you.

Based on the regional rankings here are some "possible" first round match ups.

#7 Bethel @ #1 UW-Whitewater
#6 Redlands @ #4 Occidental (Sorry folks, it's simple geography)
#5 St. Norbert @ #3 Central
#9 Linfield @ #2 St. Thomas

I think you mean #2 Saint John's, not St. Thomas   St. Thomas is 2-4 right now and about to get Monkey Stomped by the Johnnies with weekend.

Try the Playoff Primer, linked prominently as a front page story. Written especially for people like you -- you just have to check the front page instead of the message board.

Now that is too easy.

DuffMan - I think you're right on there with the SJU putting the MonkeyStomp on USTD (as ritz called them awhile back) this weekend.

Some interesting numbers there with the first regional rankings.  Will be interesting to see if Wartburg beats Central and they both finish the season with 1 loss...same with St. John's and Bethel...and if Redlands can sneak in by winning the rest of their games to end with just 1 loss against Oxy.  Still alot of important football games to be played in the next few weeks before the playoffs get rolling!  I'll make my MWC picks tomorrow, even though there aren't many tough choices this week.

Thanks for the heads up on the Primer. That will help a lot. I will try to greatly limit much unknowledgeable questions.

STNS = St. Norberts. LOL.

Always one in every crowd!!

Week 8 MWC Games

Ripon at Grinnell - RC, Hawks roll in Iowa
Knox at Lake Forest - LFC, Foresters pick up a win...possibly close
Illinois College at Monmouth - MC, Scots play well and win big for homecoming
Beloit at St. Norbert - SNC, not even close what-so-ever
Carroll at Lawrence - CC, Pios score a bunch on Larry

ritz - I like the vocabulary there...Decastomp, very creative!

Sorry I haven't been on this board in the past two weeks or so, I have been on the road with work and haven't had a chance to get to a computer. Congrats to St. Norberts on wining the conference championship. I wasn't able to attend the Carroll/Norberts – however heard all about it.

Here are my picks for this weeks MWC games:

Ripon vs. Grinnell – Ripon runs circles around the pioneers, 56-12.

Knox vs. Lake Forest – Foresters will have no problem with the fire here, 28-10.

IC vs. Monmouth – Monmouth wins here, agree with the CCAlum23 about Joe Reed being dangerous! Monmouth 28-14.

Beloit vs. St. Norberts – Norberts unloads on the Buccs, 65-10.

Carroll vs. Lawrence – Pioneers win big here, that D is too tough and not sure if the Vikings can contain Crocker and company! 35-14

CCAlum or anyone else, what time does this game actually start at I have seen three different start times listed?

Safe travels to everyone on the road this weekend! Also how is Monmouth recovering from the infection?

[CCAlum23]

1 more Fan-  The game starts at 5:00 Sharp!  I will be there to see the Pio's whoop on LU!

Nothing says classless like St. Norbert"S" running a fake punt when up 41-3 in the 3rd quarter. As though they were in danger of losing the game if they didn't do that..................
