I kept Witt in solely because I hated all my other options. Would have stopped at 9 if I could.

Wes, I couldn't think of anyone else. Adrian has fallen flat, and the OAC leftovers are hard to figure out.

Anyone have any guesses as to the potential bracket?
Right now I'm thinking...
1 Mount/UWW vs 8 Albion
2 NCC/Wabash vs 7 Benedictine
3 NCC/Wabash vs 6 CWRU
4 Franklin/IWU vs 5 Franklin/IWU

I think it all depends on:

1. Del Val / Widener.
2. Huntingdon / Wesley.
3. What the committee wants to do with Linfield / St. Thomas.

Monmouth could come over here. IWU could go west. There's a plethora of possibilities.

But I think Wabash will be 2 when they beat DPU. NCC will be three and Franklin 4.

And it will be Albion rather than Adrian.  Benedictine and Albion could be flipped - probably doesn't matter much.

I think that if anyone were to head west it'd probably be Benedictine since the West already has a number of good teams.

I keep getting those two mixed up... their names are just too similar. I'll just refer to them both as that A school in Michigan :P I at least think I can differentiate Alma from those two

North Region Fan Poll Week 11.  Next to last poll here.  We'll have one more after the Stagg.  Not many drastic changes by our group this week, but a few that are certainly discussion worthy.


1. Mount Union         60 pts (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
2. North Central        53 pts (2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3)
3. Wabash               49 pts (2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3)
4. Illinois Wesleyan    41 pts (4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5)
5. Baldwin-Wallace    31 pts (5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 8)
6. Franklin               30 pts (4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7)
7. Wheaton             29 pts (5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7)
8. CWRU                 15 pts (7, 8, 8, 8, 10, 10)
9. Heidelberg           13 pts (8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10)
10. Wittenberg         9 pts (9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10)

The North Region Fan Poll is voted on by Wes Anderson, wally_wabash, smedindy, Mr. Ypsi, ADL70, and FCGrizzliesGrad.

Consensus!

I didn't change a thing from my ballot last week.  Just to put it out there, my final regular season ballot was:

1- Mount Union
2- North Central
3- Wabash
4- IWU
5- B-W
6- Wheaton
7- Franklin
8- CWRU
9- Heidelberg
10- Witt

After week 10, I struggled with whether or not I would put those good 2-loss teams ahead of Franklin and CWRU.  Ultimately (obviously), I decided to do it. 

Looking ahead, I'm not sure how much the rest of this is going to change between now and the Stagg Bowl.  UMU/NCC/Wabash can be sorted and shuffled depending on how that little mini-tournament sorts itself out.  I don't think I'll move those teams from the top 3 unless somebody loses in the first round or IWU goes off and wins a region.  Franklin could win a couple of games and bump up over the 2-loss teams as well.  Other than that, I think my ten teams are probably pretty much set.

If Franklin wins a COUPLE of games you will need to bump them up a bit more than that!   ;)

Basically, it's hard to find an unranked North Region team that one could adequately justify ranking ahead of Heidelberg/Witt/CWRU.

ONU got blown out by Heidelberg in their season finale and finished 6-4.
Adrian won to finish 8-2, but lost to Albion/Hope and finished third in the MIAA.
Albion is in the playoffs, but went 0-4 in OOC games and lost to a mediocre DePauw team.
Benedictine is in the playoffs, but they lost to Wisconsin Lutheran in Week 10.
I was small but made up for it by being slow...

Yeah, I realized what was going on right after I posted.  Wreckless posting on my part.   :)

Hey, we're the NORTH region - beating UWW doesn't necessarily move you above 7th! :P 8-)
