I'm holding on Wabash for the time being.  I want to see Carter Sido play a few more games before I can really assess Wabash's performance against H-SC.  He's a difficult QB to prepare for, which of course Wabash couldn't prepare at all for because it's week 1, H-SC didn't name a starter, and Sido played very sparingly last year.  If he does to other teams what he did to Wabash, I think that's a really good win and there's no way H-SC is the #5 team in the ODAC. 

Sido vs Wabash W1 - 15/23, 153 yards, 1 TD, 20 rushes, 186 yards, 3 TD
Sido vs Brevard W2 - 15/25, 151 yards, 2 TD, 6 rushes, 26 yards

HOWEVER

RB Frost v Wabash W1 - 20 rushes, 63 yards
RB Front v Brevard W2 - 23 rushes, 103 yards, 1 TD


Through two games, I think Sido is vey good. I think that the Wabash D is improved but it's always tough to stop a running QB...ESPECIALLY when you don't necessarily have a scheme to stop it since you don't know the starter Week 1.

I'm column 6 this week.  My Sensational Seven are the same as after week 1.  Week 2 for this group was loaded up with byes and games that I can't really learn anything from.  Like a 5 of diamonds on the flop that missed everything, I decided to check and see the next card.  :)

I made sure to get a ballot in this week. I apologize for missing last week. I was in trial and just didn't have time.

Although only one letter difference between seemingly insignificant prepositions, there is a VERY big difference between being IN and being ON trial.

I am voter 4 this week.  I didn't even have Dennison, Hope and Hanover on my board.  I've added them to my watch list.

I'm not high on Wittenberg. 5-5 last year and two wins over subpar opponents this year. This week will show if they can play with Alma.

I'm voter 2. Still rolling with Alma ahead of JCU. I'll have to adjust this if JCU shellacks Heidelberg this weekend.

The 7th spot was a dart throw for seemingly everyone. Like you, I'm not high on Wittenberg, I don't understand still voting for MSJ and not Hope, elevating Hanover to 7 as the new best team in the HCAC seemed unwarranted, so for me it was between Hope and Denison. I went with the team with the biggest win last week and whose only loss was first game of the season @ the current #16 in the country. I think Hope might still be the second-best team in the MIAA.

Also, my rankings look something like this...

1. Mount

(huge chasm)

2. Alma and JCU

(huge chasm)

Everyone else. There is a lot of distance between 1 and 2 and between 3 and 4.

JCU may be closer to Mount Union than we think.

I do think this weekends results (John Carroll vs. Heidelberg and Mount Union vs. Muskingum) could be very revealing for the top three OAC teams. I'll be interested to see how John Carroll looks and if Berg is a team that can legitimately challenge the perceived top 2. And I'm sure Mount will win, but will it be another much closer than expected finish?

In terms of quality of teams, maybe. But Mount has earned the right to be #1 undisputed until someone knocks them off that spot. Every year I hear that this might be the year JCU beats them, yet they've lost one conference game in the last 23 years...

They've lost two conference games in the past 23 years (Unfortunately I was at both).  They've lost 4 conference games since 1990.

I wasn't counting ONU in 2005, but yes... the point remains the same. And they were semi-finalists and national champions in those years.
