East Region Playoff Discussion

[Reno Hightower]

Too close to call....though I wager the E8 will talk so much more trash than the LL in the days leading up to this great match-up.

[ctgridironmom]

I see the brackets, but I do not see the seedings, am i missing something?

rowan beats up on hobart.........call me bitter

[BobNapoleone]

heres a thought..........IC screws cortland over again with their loss to fisher

cstate...you gotta let it go man.....

[BobNapoleone]

IC has indeed turned down an ECAC bid before, and they have again this year.

Go from playing in front of 8,000 against a rival, to playing Coast Guard?  I believe the team made the decision before the Cortland game, it would be their Super Bowl, and the last hoorah.  Can't blame them one bit.

tecmo.....the wise one speaks again....must be something about being dialed into your alma mater or something...

This is pretty much what the board I created named "East Region Playoff Discussion" was for...

Time for the "who Max Power is rooting for" line: (Who cares?)

Hobart at Rowan

Hobart may not deserve to be in over Cortland, but I hate hate hate hate Rowan. (Profs aren't too crazy about you either!)

Union at St. John Fisher

Sorry guys, i just hate Fisher. (Do you like anybody?) 

mpower:
On the positive side, look at it this way ..... IC doesn't have to waste any money traveling this weekend since they'll be hooooooooome watching TV

GO Profs! 8)

What a great post!

I am going to throw a hypothetical out if I may. As I do play-by-play for Middlebury College, and in its infinite lack of wisdom the NESCAC does not allow its schools to go to the NCAA tournament, where do you think Williams(who went 8-0) would be seeded? How do you all think they would do?

Why is a contributing writer from d3football.com asking for opinions from us? Shouldn't you be coming down off the mountain?

Because, I know what I think, I would like to see what others think.

there is no auto bid i believe.......could be wrong

[Pat Coleman]

Hence the hypothetical portion of the exercise.

Chris, having seen Williams this season I would rank them in the No. 15-20 range. Easily able to compete with the best in the Liberty League. Maybe not in the Cortland State/Rowan ballpark, two teams I saw this year. Definitely not as good as UW-Whitewater and Mary Hardin-Baylor, whom I also saw play this year.

CState,

I should have rephrased the question. IF, the NESCAC played in the post season, which they do not due to conference regulations, where does everyone think Williams would be seeded? (8-0 this year)

My personal opinion is that with some of the weapons they have, they would be a one or a two seed in the East. I posed the question as there are many out there who know the rest of the nation better than I do. Doing play by play for a NESCAC team, I am not as familiar with the rest of the nation as I would like to be.

Ok here's my next parody

It's the most wonderful time of the year.
With the Fisher Fans cow belling,
and everyone telling you,
"watch for that blitz,"
It's the most wonderful time of the year.

There'll be games for hosting,
burgers and hots for grilling and
cheering out in the snow.
there'll be scary teams going and
tales of the glories of Stagg Bowls
long, long ago.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.
There'll be much celebrating
and teams will be glowing,
when stagg bowl is near.
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
