Actually Whitworth has one regional loss so I wasn't including them in that, but Hobart and Bethel are projected in as of today with two regional losses as well as Capital.

Missed Hobart.  Thanks for the clarification, Pat.  Even the Statesmen have a higher OWP than any of the three I was discussing.

I mentioned Whitworth as a two loss team, because I reckoned somebody would point their finger at the Pirates as a two loss team that got in instead of a South team.

This playoff stuff in college football is exciting stuff.  I'm a newbie to D-III.  Wow, the concept of a bunch of teams getting together to actually play out a championship bracket is the way it should be.  Where have I been?!? :o

lots of big games this weekend. good luck to every team.

input from certain people about their games?

As for Rhodes/Sewanee (since I seem to be the only poster for each school), I think Rhodes should be able to walk away with this one. Sewanee seems to be having it's worst year in recent memory, while Rhodes has shown signs (at times) of being a high caliber team. I think the Rhodes defense wins this one, probably with a score of their own. I don't see the Sewanee offense putting up many numbers or points, but I don't see the Rhodes offense, which has been questionable and inconsistant this year, putting that many of their own. I see a strong running game for the Lynx and a dominant defensive performance. That added with it being in Memphis for the last game of the season and a rivalry will make this a great game to watch or listen to. Rhodes 17 - Sewanee 3
GO LYNX!!

As is usually the case, things die down on the board as the season winds down.  It's a little odd to have such quiet in this case with the SCAC title and AQ still not fully determined, but I think most people see this weekend as a formallity in that regard:

Trinity at Austin--While I'm certainly pulling for Austin, Trinity wins this big.  There's too much on the line for Trinity to be flat and they have too much talent on both sides of the ball for Austin.  For those hanging their hat on the Austin-Millsaps game being somewhat close for 3 quarters, look at the details of that game.  Austin had under 200 yards of total offense with 72 yards coming on the first play.  And the Millsaps scoring was held back by the missed field goals.

Sewanee at Rhodes--I just don't see Sewanee winning their first SCAC game of the season while playing on the road.  Rhodes needs a win to finish above .500 for the season and in the SCAC and they'll get that win.

Colorado at Centre--Two teams who were hoping for a "Miracle Hangover" last week and instead they got a focused Millsaps and Trinity team.  I actually thought Centre was going to give Trinity a good game but they just don't have the offense needed to pull that kind of upset.  Centre will get the job done today in maybe the most competitive SCAC action of the day.

Birmingham at Millsaps--It's Senior Day at Millsaps and the team will not be flat.  From all accounts, Birmingham has put together a very solid foundation for a program this season and I bet they become a factor in the SCAC in a hurry (in regards to wins and losses--I think their games don't count in the standings for 4 years).  This game won't be like last week's score where Millsaps only had 52 players they could play, but it won't be a close game.

Wabash at DePauw--I know I'm pulling for DePauw because it would be a big win for them and for the SCAC.  My guess is that DePauw is playing like they wish they had been playing for those home games with Millsaps and Trinity.  Let's remember that DePauw is still 7-2 with the only losses to Millsaps and Trinity, so I'm going with them to use the home field advantage, high grass and all, to pull off the upset over 9-0 Wabash.

DePauw and Wabash tied at seven midway through the second quarter.  DPU has missed a FG in a game that has not seen much defense.  Both teams are completing around 75% of their passes, and Marks already has over 60 yards on the ground. 

Ron Boerger

Wabash now up 14-7, six minutes to play in the half.

Trinity-AC and Sewanee-Rhodes are underway.

Austin College has a fourth and three at the Trinity 42, goes for it, gains two yards.  Trinity takes it pretty easily down the field and score on a 10-yard pass from Barmore, 7-0 Trinity midway through the first. 

DePauw can't convert a fourth and goal from the one with 14 seconds left in the half, 14-7 DPU at the half.

Rhodes up 7-0 on Sewanee, 3:57 to play in the first quarter.

Barmore finds Coleman for about 60 yards, Trinity scores one play later, 14-0 5:38 to play in the first quarter. 

Ron Boerger

Barmore finds a wide-open  Baer from 15 yards out, PAT is good, Trinity leads 21-0 with a little more than a minute to play in the first quarter.

Rhodes still leads 7-0 and Wabash-DPU is still at the half.

Ron Boerger

Sewanee gets a short TD run but the PAT is blocked and returned by Mason Mosby for a defensive PAT.  Rhodes leads 9-6 with 7:42 to play in the second quarter.

Ron Boerger

Dick finds Marks for 36 yards and a TD on the opening drive of the second half but the PAT is missed so Wabash still leads 14-13.  Marks has 116 yards rushing.

Ron Boerger

Austin College blocks a Trinity punt and take over at the TU 11.  Ryan Cowley scores from three yards out on a fourth and one.  PAT is no good, Trinity leads 21-6 with 5:40 to play in the half.

DePauw drives to the Wabash 20 but given the troubles in their kicking game elect to go for it on fourth and 7.   Spud Dick's pass is incomplete and Wabash takes over, still leading 14-13.

Sewanee trails Rhodes 9-6 at the half.

Wabash takes a 21-13 lead when Matt Hudson finds Bart Banach for 65 yards and a score.  51 seconds left in the third.

Trinity takes a 28-6 lead on a Barmore sneak, 19 seconds left in the half.
