FB: Region 3 fan poll

jknezek · September 28, 2015, 01:56:19 PM

I agree ADL and that's how I was doing my poll, but was just told not to put Chicago in the south because they aren't listed there. Unfortunately that leaves us in a bind regarding Wesley, who is being ranked in the East, but under the same rules should be listed in the South, despite none of us doing it.

So we either need to follow Pat, who is hamstrung by when the handbook comes out, or use what we believe will happen. I'd prefer to go with what we believe will happen, but that's not what I was told...

Dammit, wally! Look what you did! Got us all chasing our tails.

I also prefer that we go with what we believe will happen. Especially since it's just a fan poll, haha.

Wesley/CNU - East
Chicago/WashU - South

(and, for that matter, Case, who may be seen here before all is said and done if they can pull an upset or two)

That's what I'm sticking with.

I am on the road until early tomorrow. I will post the poll tomorrow.

h/t to wabndy for posting the link first...

The debate is over. According to the NCAA prechampionship manual for 2015 y'all get Chicago and their Heisman trophy for at least a couple of years. Enjoy.

Shocking. The south now has a former Big10 (Chicago) school and a former SEC (Sewanee) school. We may not have a championship in the AQ era, but we have history!

An Orange bowl champion in CUA too.

W&L used to play "big time" football also.

W&L never played in a big time conference. And while there is a Gator Bowl loss in their somewhere, W&L's heydays came against small college competition mostly.

Western Reserve (CWRU) beat Arizona State in the 1941 Sun Bowl and was a charter member of the MAC in the 50s.

Carnegie Tech beat Rockne's Notre Dame in 1926 (per Wikipedia ranked by ESPN as fourth biggest upset) and lost to TCU in the 1939 Sugar Bowl.

W&J beat Cal in the 1922 Rose Bowl.

WUStL was a member of the Missouri Valley conference in the 30s.

Some people may know this fun trivia factoid, but Rockne did not attend the game, preferring to scout another opponent (Army, I think) because he did not anticipate any trouble from the Carnegie Tech team. Whoops!

Then again, maybe he was glad that he missed the debacle.

I can't speak to W&L's heyday, or how they did against the competition, but the Generals did in fact play in a big time conference many years ago.
In 1921 they were one of the founding members of the Southern Conference, along with Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi St., North Carolina, NC St., Tennessee, Virginia, and Virginia Tech. In 1922 the league added Florida, LSU, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tulane and Vanderbilt.
The SEC schools left in the early 30s and the ACC schools in 1953, but I would have to say that until the Generals themselves left in 1958 they were definitely playing in a pretty big time conference.
