Pool C -- 2007

I think the relative non-strength of this loss they may be in trouble. Especially with a possible logjam of teams with 1 loss. I think just because they are in the same conference as MUC does not give them a right to be in the playoffs I guess we'll have to see how badly they lose to MUC.

Capital made the playoffs at 8-2, with losses to MUC and OTT in 2005. OTT was 7-3 that year.

But Otterbein isn't going to be 7-3 this season. Cap's playoff hopes are on life support.

No. Nor is Wittenberg going to be 5-5.

Cap needs help - like Salisbury beating Wesley and Case going undefeated so a "B" doesn't steal a "C".

Assuming for the moment that Cap does not beat MUC, how much danger do people think Cap is in of missing the tourney?

grave danger.

And, the committee is preparing to deliver another one to the pretenders/bubble teams:

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! (spittle flying)

Bob,

I think the line should have been in all caps to show the proper context of the line (shouting)

Welcome rookie11,

I was going thru the games for the ASC Pick'ems contest and found these game involving conference leaders next Saturday.

Dickinson at Muhlenberg -- Centennial
Trinity at Millsaps -- SCAC
W&J at Waynesburg -- Pres AC
NCW and CNU -- USA South
Salisbury at Wesley -- Pool B "ACFC", but also contending for a C.
Cortland at TCNJ -- NJAC
Cal Lutheran at Oxy -- SCIAC...

and those were just the conference races that I saw that had games between the contenders.

We have not considered the conferences in which the front-runner might be upset this week with three more weeks or title games and rivalry games to go.

Ralph,

Would you say that Pool C, (and maybe Pool B) is pretty cloudy at this point. So many teams are still in the running to make any predictions.

Ralph Turner · October 21, 2007, 05:54:14 PM

Yeah, Dutch, and I didn't even mention the rumble in Waverly on November 10th!

I wouldn't be so sure. They are now 4-3 with games against Muskingum, B-W, and John Carroll remaining.

I just ran my D3 computer rankings for the week. It now has Ott at #57, just behind #54 JCU and in front of #74 B-W. It would be an amazing run after starting 1-3, but it is not out the question.
