East Region Fan Poll

[ccd494]

Roll your eyes all you want. The concept isn't about 'who is going to get beaten by 20', it's about a really good team having a great year at 8-2 or 9-1 with a tough schedule and getting the shaft because 10-0 Husson plays a bunch of Pop Warner teams and would lose to said 8-2/9-1 team by 40. That's the discussion. Giving everyone a shot is all fine and good. But when it's your squad that gets left off the playoff list, you'll probably look at it differently.

Say what you want about Husson but it must be noted that they are moving from the pathetic ECFC to the much tougher CCC next season. They are limited by geography but have taken the challenge.  They should be commended. Remember they won a NCAA tourney game against Springfield last season and showed well competitively the next week in a 37-15 (not 40 point) loss to Delaware Valley.   

Exactly.  Husson has never shied away from ANYONE.  Before helping form the ECFC they approached every conference within 500 miles and every conference told them to pound sand.  Husson, against all odds really, built a successful program and earned an invitation to a better conference and immediately leaped at it.

Husson has also never lost by 40 in a playoff game (last year's 22 point loss to DelVal is the biggest playoff loss in Husson's history).  This year's team isn't as good as last year's, but they still scheduled competitively in the non-conference. 

And, like I said, if you're a true believer in "ONLY LET TEAMS IN THAT CAN WIN!" none of us belong in the playoffs.  The last true eastern team to win was 1991.  The horse you are astride isn't very high.

You're completely misstating the position people are adopting.

Wanting to strengthen the overall playoff field doesn't mean "only let in the teams that can win the stagg bowl"

Cortaca winner going to the dance after today, or does a 3 loss Wesley or Salisbury have a better shot?

Does anyone consider Montclair? 7-2 , Strength of Schedule #24 @ .572 lost to the Gulls by 2 & Frosty by 7 on a bomb with 3 minutes to go against a rookie safety and beat Wesley by 1 in their house. Just asking. All I hear is crickets.

West Conn getting obliterated at home by Framingham State. Mach gonna take out a full page ad in the Danbury newspaper tomorrow just saying SEE I TOLD YOU SO.

I mean, assuming they still have a newspaper. Which they probably don't.

The problem for Montclair is you'd have to put them over a Salisbury team they lost to

You have a point even though only by 2 points.

I think once Salisbury loses to Frostburg, Montclair may jump them despite the H2H result

So what is the latest thinking on the last at large bid for NCAA?  Does the winner of Cortica (at 8-2) come out ahead of Muhlenberg at 9-1?

[ITH radio]

I think that's possible - especially with their only 3 pt win over TMU which won't do much SOS wise
