This whole situation is troublesome, but it is within the rules and is still fair, unlike the BCS. I know that historically that this change would eliminate those more deserving teams (e.g. St. John Fisher) from playoff consideration, but this would actually help the two conferences  become stronger, if a team or teams can win there conference on a consistent basis, that becomes a big recruiting pitch, especially in the North East. Overtime, this may lead to better recruits and support and as a result, it produces a team of quality, which hopefully translate to a powerhouse team being created within that conference. So, when that happens, occassionally it leads to the conference becoming stronger overtime. 

Now as far as playoff is concerned, I think that there are 240 teams currently and there are 32 playoff spots. Now dividing those 240 teams by the 32 playoff spots equals 7.5 (8 rounded). Now if the NCAA requires you to have at least 8 teams for a conference bid, then as far as Division 3 is concerned each conference should be restricted to only 8 teams and should play a 9 game season with 8 conference games and one regional OOC game, this would allow us to stay within budget and give us another week of football and we could have a 64 team playoff that would give each conference a champion an automatic bid and leave the rest as at-large bids. Alternatively, we could eliminate our bye-week and still have a 64 team playoff and the 1st round restricted to in region games/or 600 miles or less and you would not have to restrict conferences for football only purposes to 8 teams, you can leave the format the same.

I am not sure it's necessary for this to be on 3 different pages.  (Maybe it is, I don't know, but I generally look at all new stuff in the east.)

Believe dlip, we won't  :) That was an excellent win for Salve and dlip was happy for them. To be honest though Union was a completely different football team at the end of the season. If the teams had faced off again, IDHO, Union would win by quite a large margin. Like dlip said before, nothing takes away from Salvrs win, they deserved it.

8 team conferences have to play 7 game conference schedules unless you want an unbalance schedule or a conference championship week.

Just aweful.

Well fellas getting close to that time again. Looking forward to getting the pre-season poll out there. Dlip is really pumped for the season (as he grills Cape little necks and his mother makes her home made Marinara) out on Cape Cod. The wife knows that we are just about at the start of my season.

dlip's Wife: "Honey what are you doing on the computer? We are supposed to be on vaca...that's right, Union should be starting camp soon. Don't worry Sophia (dlip's daughter), you play with your toys and daddy will play whatever that football site is on the computer. He'll be back for Christmas."

Dlip: "Were you saying something dear?"

Thanks for kicking this to the fore, Dlip.  Give me a holler if you want to be a pollster this year; I'll give preference to those who did it last year and to anyone from an underrepresented conference (which is basically anything other than E8 and LL).  Let's push for the preseason poll to come out on 8/27.

You will have my "poll" before the 27th and this should also start a few laughs.  ;D
It ain't over till it's over, and when you get to the fork in the road, take it.

I think we'll go the same route as the SRFP and roll with 5 pollsters this year.  It was tough getting 10 voters to submit weekly and those additional pollsters were just more representation from the E8 and LL.  So, check back here Monday afternoon for the first ERFP.

What is the over/under on the amount of time it will take for Charles to come on board and scream about Endicott not being ranked #1 because they might have the best kicker in the country?

The top 3 pretty much was standard ( a couple 4's in there as well even) but after that the distribution was really interesting for teams like Hobart and Cortland.
