Column 5 doesn't have a team ranked #5.

[smedindy]

I'm the last column.

Column 5 doesn't have a team ranked #5.

It has to be Trine I'd imagine.

[Dr. Acula]

I'm column 9.  Back to my normal ways I have all 10 teams that ended up ranked on my ballot.  I wasn't sure that'd happen thanks to the last couple of spots.

Looking to this weekend I currently have JCU at 4.  We'll see how the game goes, but they'd have to really get stomped to move down more than a spot or two on my ballot.

So it doesn't.  I'll have a stern talking to with my staff and have this rectified this evening. 

[Dr. Acula]

Looking at the full slate for this weekend I don't see much threatening to shake up the ballots.  JCU/Mount and Millikin/Wheaton look like the best bets by a pretty wide margin. 

[wally_wabash]

Alright, updated the table.  Had a Trine/Wheaton mixup.  All squared away now and the proper tally has Wheaton at 7 and Wabash at 8.

I'll be curious to see what everyone does with JCU.  Mount was very fortunate to win that game.

Yeah, that was the first thing I thought when I started seeing the tweets of how this game was going. I was apparently criminally underrating JCU.

JCU was struggling to move the ball with anything other than a broken play by the QB, but their Dline owned the line of scrimmage.  Very similar to MHB last year or maybe even better.  They just couldn't sustain a drive when they need it.

I think JCU was rightlybplaces at 4. I don't see much movement based on the result vs Mt.  the assumption is that the top 3-4 teams in our region should be able to play a closer game Vs Mt and that's what JCU did.

I fully agree. If ever there was a reason to move someone up after a loss, this was it for me.

[Dr. Acula]

I left JCU at 4.  I debated jumping them over Witt to 3, but I'm a little too conservative to start jumping them over top 3 teams after a loss no matter how well they played.

One thing is for sure though...JCU continues to prove that they don't shrink on the big stage.  In the last 3 years they've beaten Mount in Alliance, beaten Wesley, won at UWW and gone toe to toe with Mount two more times and UWO twice.

Those are some great things to say about Dear Alma Mater! However you did forget to mention that we also have one win against a certain team in Alliance! lol

In all seriousness, I feel way more confident about them now than I did last week. It has been a real pleasure watching this turn around in the program!

[Dr. Acula]

Haha I didn't even do that on purpose!  I seriously must have blacked that out of my memory permanently.  I edited it to include that as that's kind of an important one to note on their resume.
