Bobo,

FYI, Massey has Charleston Southern as #358 and Kean at #363. Wesley is #312. That's after five weeks and so it's pretty well connected data now.

Sflzman,

Not only was it the slop, if anyone is a rival to Mt. Union it's ONU.

Interestingly, UWW at #178 comes just before Norfolk St. (#179), CSU's opponent 2 weeks ago on those very Massey Ratings.

I am one of those people "not giving ohio Northern enough credit", as I actually dropped MU below MHB because of how close that game was. I think MU should be beating them by a couple of scores.

Interesting post here sflzman.  I'm not sure if you posted this before, do you have MHB at #2 now?  Where do you rank St. Thomas? 
For the playoffs, I'd really like to see MU play at least one of these four in order of interest:  NCC, MHB, Linfield and St. Thomas.

A scary thought. A final four of Linfield, St. Thomas, UW-W, and Mt. Union.

There's no way it would happen now, but it'd be all purple, all the time!

A more realistic Purple Final Four would possibly be:

East: Mount Union
North: UWW
West: St. Thomas
South: MHB

My top 5 is as follows:

1. UWW
2. MHB
3. UMU
4. St Thomas
5. Linfield

I was almost impressed enough with the whooping StT put on the Johnnies that I almost put them above UMU as well....

Interested to see if Mount loses any first-place votes (both in this and D3football's poll).

They did...2 in the d3football poll.  Fan's poll is too unpredictable.

I'm surprised that MTU is even getting first place votes in the d3football. I'm mainly a CCIW guy but I usually see UWW in person a few times each season. UWW beat a supposedly good UWP easily this weekend, even though it was tied at weekend. The Warhawks plain dominated the second half. UWP had been just outside the Top 25. Earlier this season, UWW easily beat Franklin, which many people look at with interest. I can't believe anyone would not vote UWW #1. Their only challenge will be keeping LC healthy.

Highest rated east team I have is Salisbury, at #14 so I'd put them against UMU and I'd have Wesley against UMHB there.

My top 5:

1.   UW- Whitewater
2.   Mount Union
3.   St. Thomas
4.   Linfield
5.   North Central

I have UMHB at #8, I feel if you put them against a defense that can stop the run (like my top 5) that they'd throw way too many picks and not be able to throw the ball well enough at all out of their newish pistol to stay competitive. Added to that the defense isn't what it used to be either. That doesn't mean that UMHB is a bad team though and won't go far.

That's the problem with the East, many good teams, but none that jumps out as a real challenger.  I'd like to see:
North:  Mt vs NCC
West:  UWW vs St. Thomas
South:  MHB vs Linfield
East:   Wesley vs ____ (Wittenberg?)

I like Montclair in a squeeker against Mt Union. :) I enjoyed my visit to the Sacrificial Alter a few years ago and one never knows. We all know the top 2 to 4 are in a league of their own. Time to get ready for Cortland and take care of business this weekend.
