FB: Region 4 fan poll

[Dr. Acula]

I'm column 5 this week after my hiatus last week.  I had Mount as the clear 1, Albion as my clear 2 at this point.  3-5 I could have picked out of a hat in the group of Berg/MSJ/DPU.  I felt like those were interchangeable.  As HOPEful mentioned, the Berg JCU game should shed some light on those two.  I went Wabash 6 mainly because I really like their QB/offense and I almost throw out their loss and view them as 2-0.  Playing NCC is such an outlier compared to any other game played so far it's hard for me to ding them too much there.  IMO the biggest surprise has been MSJ.  I did not see this coming.

I'm #6. I still don't trust MSJ but as of right now they're 5th for me. I still feel that they will either get blown out by whoever wins the conference (RHIT or Hanover) or win the conference but pick up a loss to someone like Bluffton or Manchester.

Column 3 for me this week.  Albion has a real shot to eclipse Heidelberg for me.  This weekend's results will inform that for me next week.  I've kind of reluctantly got John Carroll in the 7 spot and I don't really have a good reason for it other than I'm not really sure who else goes there.  Maybe Wabash, but I'm kind of wanting to see Wabash string together a couple of games like the one they had last week.  Denison is 3-0, but Capital/Hilbert/Oberlin is not very informative.  We'll get some JCU clarity this weekend in any case.

Looks Like we're gonna have some big changes this week.

I'm either 4 or 6. I left Heidelberg at 7 and Denison off my rankings. That will obviously change if they beat DePauw this week.

I'm column 8.  A WIAC win further cemented Albion at #2 on my ballot.  DPU blowing Wooster's doors off in a shutout also caught my eye.  JCU I thought I may be a spot lower at #5 than others may be, but it appears I'm in line with the group.  That was an absolutely dominant defensive effort by the Streaks against Berg.  Berg mounted a 66 yd drive to tie the game 7-7 in the first half and outside of that had 0 points and 39 yds of offense. 

[Li'l Giant]

I'm column 3. DPU blowing out Wooster is what got them to #2 in my ballot. Like a lot of us I'll be watching how the game with Denison goes.

I think 3-7 could basically be in any order and be defensible. But to me the 1 and 2 are clear. Maybe I'm oversimplifying things.

[Kira & Jaxon's Dad]

I'm voter 1. I'm not high on 2nd place OAC teams this year. It's disappointing because Mount won't get tested till week 2 of the playoffs.  I need to research better on the rest.

[CollegeGolf18]

Just turned in my poll for the week. Well, it's getting easier to pare down into 7 teams but the order of those 7, who knows.

I'm column 3. The MIAA is the most intriguing race and the hardest one to prognosticate.

[CollegeGolf18]

I forgot to save my poll this week but I know I'm either 1 or 6 because I had DePauw at 2 and Denison at 7.

[Li'l Giant]

It appears I'm column 1. Curious to see how Depauw does against Witt. I kept Denison in at 7 because I really expected DPU to win that one by more.

The MIAA is going to be kinda fun to watch.
