I dont know if they'll throw 2 south region teams in the east, but i can see them throwing in Salisbury or Muhlenburgh in to give the bracket some muscle.

1. Cortland
2. Salisbury
3. RPI
4. DVC
5. Rowan
6. E8 Winner
7. Curry
8. Albright

IE: Muhlenburgh Bracket

Doubt it, they havent done it yet, i'd doubt they'd do it this year....

[PA_wesleyfan]

Geographically makes same sense as Salisbury. Wesley is an closer to all the east teams. And it would be ironic.

8. Albright                             Pool C?

Thanks for trying to fill out the brackets.

At this time, I can give 1-loss Rowan a Pool C bid if they run the table, but I think that the committee moves two teams into the "East" bracket.  I don't think that the MAC gets a Pool C bid.

Yeah i drew a blank towards the end....

[Ralph Turner]

+1!  You just got us looking for the rest of the bracket beyond the Pool A bids! 

[pumkinattack]

There's still a few other options.  Ithaca or Hartwick could get in with one loss and Hobart or WPI (or RPI is Bart runs the table and RPI finishes with one loss) could be in the mix, but it just seems like the east isn't getting four or five from the E8 and LL like they have the past couple of years.  With five conference champs in region, it only leaves, at best, three pool B/C's, so if they move a Muhlenburg conference champ East and then a Pool B (Wesley/Salisbury - probably not Case, though JCU came over in 2002) there's one or two Pool C's left for four (or five if you include NEFC) conferences and the MAC and NJAC are stronger than they've been the last few years.

Husson could provide an East issue if a collapse occurs for 1- and 2-loss Pool C contenders.

Pool B maven Ralph Turner sees Husson as currently out of the Pool B mix:

Pool B update for Week #7

1)  CWRU beat Ohio Wesleyan 35-7;  plays at Hiram next.

2a) Salisbury beat lake Erie 35-19; plays at Becker next.
2b) Wesley beat NNA 48-0; plays at Webber International.

3a) Huntingdon beat Blackburn 45-0;  plays at Westminster MO.
3b) LaGrange beat Westminster MO 37-20; plays at Principia.


On the radar...

Northwestern MN (6-1/6-1 in-region)  beat 35-14 St Scholastica; plays at MN-Morris.

Husson (5-2/5-0 in-region); Plays (in-region) Gallaudet next Saturday.

Salisbury and Wesley have yet to play each other, as do Huntingdon and LaGrange.  If any of those teams lose a game besides their showdowns, the Pool B crystal ball will get even cloudier.

We know from last year that Northwestern MN didn't get any Pool C love after nearly grabbing the Pool Brass ring.

With the MAC implosion, the Empire 8 mess, the 1 poll point-receiving 9-1 WPIannabes, . . . this is entertaining.

Week 7 Top 25 is posted.  National Poll voters disagree with East Region fan voters re: relative position of RPI and Ithaca.

can't really argue with this poll.... though I have a hard time with RPI who has yet to show me anything...

[Jonny Utah]

I just noticed that Frostburg beat Brockport this year by two touchdowns and that Brockport has been fairly competitive in the NJAC.

Kind of makes Ithacas win versus Frostburg a little more impressive in my mind.

It's out of region.  It will be a nullity for Pool C purposes.

Already beat two second-tier LL teams (Susquehanna and WPI) this season.  They're undefeated.  What more do you want?  They've beaten their opponents, and now some decent ones.

Frank you tell me that you think Susq and WPI could hang with Fisher, Wick, Ithaca... lets see them blow out some teams....
