Purple is the color of royalty. And MUC, UWW, UMHB, and Linfield are as close as you can get to D3 football royalty. Also, maybe coincidence and maybe not, but purple is the color of a nice bruise. So win or lose I think everyone ended a little purple on the day.
A fan of good football - wherever it may be found.

Three undefeated teams fell in the SJU (West) Bracket. AS has been noted previously that bracket was STACKED!!

In one aspect, the nature of the west bracket is that a team almost needs to go undefeated to earn the Pool A..

Isn't Linfield's colors Blue and Red - not Purple?

Quotethat would mean they lied  misspoke when they said there were no seeds.

Perhaps they just misremembered!  :D

Not sure the best home for this discussion, but the playoff thread seems about as good as any.

Anyway, ain't this a crock of you-know-what: www.playoffproblem.com

I suppose the BCS believes that the best defense is a good offense.  ::)

2.7 seconds. An average football player may need more time to score; a great one finds a way. I've seen greatness happen.

I find easily offended people rather offensive!

Statistics are like bikinis; what they reveal is interesting, what they hide is essential.

Maybe someday the NCAA will be able to figure out the details for March Madness.  It hasn't worked out very well.   ::)

How well the various rankings predicted the playoffs.  Posted now because I will likely lose interest shortly after the Stagg Bowl.
Year     d3football.com     AFCA     NCAA
2009          22-8*         21-9*    21-9*
2008          21-10         20-11    18-13
2007          26-5          26-5     23-8
2006          25-6          24-7     25-6

*The two polls both chose MUC for the championship.  Adjust records accordingly next Saturday.  I don't believe the NCAA announced an overall #1 seed this year.
