FB: Region 4 fan poll

[SaintsFAN]

I thought this would pretty much be a mail-it-in week too, but UWW losing again and TMC losing to Bridgewater is going to force me to look at things a little more in depth than I had anticipated.

Yeah, I fear that UWW's loss will tarnish the lustre of IWU's win.  Interestingly, Concordia-Moorhead, who beat UWW today, beat Neb Wes last week (34-14), the team IWU squashed today (it was 42-7 before the scrubs let in 2 TDs - final 42-21).  Memo to Whitewater: don't schedule any more Nebraska Wesleyan opponents!

I thought Franklin's loss to TMC was no big deal; TMC's loss today says it was.

And Carthage more than monkey-stomped Bethel (31-0).  Is Bethel that bad this year, or is Carthage that good?  Last week I had Franklin #7 and Carthage #10 - haven't decided for sure, but I may just flip-flop them.

Concordia-Moorhead led Neb Wesleyan 34-7 in week one until they gave up a TD with 7 minutes left. 

Maybe their reserves are a better defense than IWU???   

Neb Wesleyan should to try to have their games start 0-0 in the 4th quarter??

TMC will be okay.  Starting with this week.  They play at a good W&J program, but they've had the Presidents' number in recent years.  Last week was a big-time lesson on learning how to deal with in-game adversity for alot of kids who didn't play huge roles last year.  They had 7 personal foul/unsportsmanlike penalties and two long TD's called back due to penalty. 

They know they literally won't get any calls in Washington, PA on Saturday night. 

Its not too late for Franklin to look good with a loss AT Thomas More.

One ballot still out.  Hopefully can get that in and have the poll up tonight.

All in.  I'll have this up as soon as I get home tonight.

It might, if a voter was giving IWU credit for beating the #3 team in the nation (which UWW wasn't really even before the IWU and Concordia results).  I didn't move IWU this week.  I think their results are worth #4 in the region, regardless of UWW's week 2 score.  Will revisit that idea a little more considerably though if UWW drops to WashU, who I think is very overmatched this week.

We're all struggling to find a 10th team worthy of a vote.  And for good reason.  It took me a good long while before I settled on Hope.

Then it's a good thing this week will try to inject some clarity into that picture, as ONU hosts Heidelberg while Lakeland travels to Hope.

I'd say you guys are killing me with having JCU at #5, but then I remember that we are still 0-1, so I have no room to complain! lol

I would argue that you have it right

[smedindy]

Honestly 2-5 are pretty close in my eyes.

[smedindy]

I kept the status quo. I may have overreacted with IWU being #2, but that we shall see very soon whether I did so or not.

It's bothersome that my column isn't centered like all the others are. I want to go in and fix it so bad

If I had to guess, I'd say that some amateur didn't paste--special--values when moving your votes into this grid thus overwriting the text justification formatting in those cells, didn't notice the error until after he posted, and then was too lazy to go back and fix it last night.   

[smedindy]

At least you didn't write a query that wanted to exclude certain gifts, and instead wrote it so it ONLY included those gifts you wanted to exclude....and then used that query for a bundle of eight other queries.

Yours is just unique.

Well, if you screw up a select query, you can always rewrite it and try it again. If you write a query to delete one particular row, and forget to specify a row ID so it deletes all of the rows...

Come on Men! If you want people to take this poll serious how can you honestly vote JCU 5/6 in the North? I understand they are 0 - 1 on the season, but that loss is to the top team in the WIAC for crying out loud.

Tom Arth still coaches in Tennessee, right?
