This all may be true, but a non-conference schedule of Huntingdon and LaGrange might not be enough to separate them from other at-large teams when you only have four at-large bids.

Huntingdon will end up winning the USAC and only have one loss, that being to Berry.  Makes an easy travel to bring Huntingdon back to Berry for the first round.

Ease of travel is not one of the criteria for selecting at-large teams.

You 100% sure about that???

Yes, 100.0% sure.

Who at this point in the season do we think will be the other team looking to get a Pool C bid?

Conference play has just started. Every year there is a very active conversation in the national thread about who is in the running.

Doesn't look like BJ Stewart has played since that late hit he took to his back against BSC. Huge weapon gone on special teams. Anybody know if he's out for the season?

Well his Freshman fill in just housed a punt return for TD. Hopefully BJ is okay.

Think that might be the first time I've seen Horn under center all season on those goal-line sets. If so, I like that Urban is trying new things to fix the short-yards redzone issues we've had.

Welp, Huntington didn't help Berry at all today - sheesh.

Yea that stinks. I thought Huntingdon was going claw back into it but kept shooting themselves in the foot....Would have been good for the SAA to have that OOC game over a conference champion. Still a lot of ball to play though.

The Pool C will be wild this year. WIAC teams still Have to beat each other. HSU just got a big boost as well with UWL beating UWW, but Neither has played UWRF yet as well. HSU also has to beat UMHB.

However, Berry still has a boost currently (I would think) with Trinity beating UMHB. If St John's, Trinity and Berry all finish 9-1 I think Berry will get discussed or at least a look. They need to keep winning by 40+ to stay in the spotlight for regional rankings.

Rivalry games are always tough. Please continue to doubt UMHB because they are not the same team that went 0-3. They will be ready in all facets of the game just like in years past.

Uh - wasn't this a quote from you earlier in the season: "I will not be surprised if we lose all NC games and lose to HSU later in the season." Not sure why you're slamming Cowboy for simply suggesting the same thing you did.

Yea I know about rivalry games.

Never said I doubt UMHB, HSU Can't be the man until you beat the man, and if you look back I've actually voted for UMHB each week when half the pollsters wrote them off. They are a Top 25 team on talent alone no matter what their record is. Same with HSU. I was more so responding to the fact Berry had the best chance at a Pool C over anyone else in R3 at this point.

If HSU beats UMHB they'll have 4 Ls. If UMHB beats HSU then they have two. Berry has 1.

Doesn't look that good when HSU beat UWL who beat UWW who beat UMHB who you assume will beat HSU. They wouldn't take an 8-2 HSU team, if we finish that high, when most likely UWRF takes the WIAC and UWL has 2 Ls and UWW has 2 Ls as well.

Hand me the pencil.

BSC finally brought the offense to the game with them.  It was parents day on the mountain, they were having an inter squad baseball game, and football.  If all the parents tried to go into the stadium, it would have been double capacity, but most of them had no idea what was going on with football.  It was a beautiful weather day for football and thankfully BSC receivers learned how to catch this week.  The QB for Sewanee is a stud and has completely changed that program over last year.  What felt like a high school game experience last season on the mountain, this year had a great crowd and atmosphere.  Sewanee is always a nice trip, and of course is nicer when you bring home the win.

I think that there is too much of a log jam of teams that have 2 losses to be considered among the 4 and only 4 Pool C bids.
