East Region Playoff Discussion

[pg04]

My attempt to predict the games involving Eastern Teams this week -- I don't think any of them will be that interesting to be honest:

Mount Ida 14
Wesley 52

Framingham State 24
Cortland State 56

Washington and Lee 17
Hobart 38

Rowan 21
Salisbury 42

Bridgewater State 14
Widener 63

those picks look pretty spot on to me with the exception of Framingham scoring 24 on C State.
I see that one getting as ugly as the Wesley game.

No 90-0 Widener score?

Even though I hate that team , I an calling for the Rowan Upset 28-21

Sadly I think your W&L pick looks about right to me. On the upside, if it does turn out that way, it will be the closest post-season game W&L has played...

Unless Widener and Cortland are better than Wesley, there is no way those games are bigger blowouts than Mt Ida. Mt Ida would get beat by 21 against FSU and BSU.

[Pat Coleman]

Welcome to the board. You might be right about Mount Ida -- it will be interesting to see. But in these games, the winning team could practically name its final score. The biggest question is whether there might be a fluke score thrown in at the end against the second team defense, or on a kickoff return or a backup running back fumbling the ball. No offense to the 7 and 8 seeds but the top six or seven teams are that good for a reason.

[dlippiel]

Dlip thinks the Bart W&L game will fall in that range, good call pg04. Listen Bart just doesn't seem to be a blow your doors off type team to dlip. At times this season dlip has been critical of the Pumpkinheads, maybe rightfully so maybe not, but now reflecting on the season no matter how they play they win. Granted the competition will increase but dlip thinks Bart may be able to meet that challenge andcontinue doing what they have been doing all year...winning. Bart may make quite a run here boys.

Also dlip wants to make it clear that even though he is not a supporter of the NEFC getting an at large bid and is not rooting for any of the NEFC/ECFC teams this weekend he is not against the players themselves and is very happy for all those kids. He hopes they have a great experience and if a W comes out of it (it probably won't) good for the players. It is just the scheduling approach used by 99% of the NEFC and ECFC teams that bothers dlip because they are getting rewarded for not stepping up the way they should have to in order to be considered for an at large and even able to get an auto bid. It is good however to see a couple, one or two at least starting to schedule out.

Let's get it straight here it is not a hatred or dislike of the conference for any other reasons than the aforementiined ones. It's not personal against players, we love D3 because we love the FB all D3 kids play period. Salve had many cheerleaders this year, why? Scheduling and defeating Union and Montclair. If all the other schools did this no one would take issue with them. Yet dlip refuses to annoint Bridgewater State at Salves level with a close win over    springfield team that would,pound them if they played again today. It takes consistency in scheduling and results to earn respect.

Until teams in this league as a whole do these things they (not the players) are going to get hammered for taking spots in the post season from more deserving teams.

Cortland's isn't a bigger blowout. Also, I am really not certain the validity of your last sentence. And, are you really complaining about 30 vs. 40 point blowouts?

[pg04]

Also this season shows that Widener doesn't necessarily cool the jets earlier than other teams.

[lewdogg11]

TD Hobart 7-7

[lewdogg11]

Mt. Ida just scored.  7-7  YOWZA!


And Wesley returns the kickoff.  14-7

[lewdogg11]

21-7 Wesley - Pour it on.

Framingham St 3 Cortland 0

Cortland needs to wake up.

[lewdogg11]

TD Cortland 7-3  53 yard reception

And Hobart scores again 14-7.

Mt Union being Mt Union - 35-7 early 2Q

[dlippiel]

Bart/W&L 14-14. Bart can't stop their option thus far...at all.

[pg04]

The NEFC teams are showing that they shouldn't have been so casually dismissed. At half, 7-7 Widener and Bridgewater State, 7-6 Cortland over Framingham late in the 2nd quarter.
