Pool C -- 2012

[TheOsprey]

Wait, I think we're confused.  Did I say Wabash wasn't ranked?  I hope not...I certainly knew better.

feelin' good!  Rowan's in Pool C--  right!!!(for Keith)

[TheOsprey]

or shouled I say--  Rowan's in, right!

Huntingdon loses to Adrian and drops to 3 losses. Adrian just helped their seeding out as well.

and W&J beats Waynesburg, making Waynesburg a 9-1 Pool C candidate from the south with quite possibly the worst SOS to go on the board. HSU is 8 points down to LC late in the 4th, so that could also play a role.

Pool C is getting a little easier with Kenyon's loss (allowing 9-1 Witt to take the NCAC berth) And Adrian's win over Huntingdon (presumay eliminating Huntingdon from consideration, plus St Thomas' win over St Olaf (who might have had a case if they'd upset UST). Heidelberg and Bethel both survived close games today and presumably should get in.

Finals from the South Region.

LaCollege 45 HSU 37
Adrian 17,  Huntingdon 16

LC holds on for a win. Be interesting to know if 8-2 LC with a decent SOS gets on the board before 9-1 Waynesburg with a miserable SOS when the South puts them forward. As F&M and Huntingdon both lost today, Muhlenberg is probably the only other team the South can even consider. How Huntingdon gave up 17 points in the fourth quarter, leading 16-0 at home in a make or break game, is completely beyond me.

Wow. So is OWU back in the mix now too? Holy cow. It will be quite intriguing to see what the committee does.

LaCollege went 1-2 versus Regionally Ranked teams.

Don't know that I'd call the Bethel game 'close' or one they 'survived.' They were in control from the start and never felt threatened IMO. The late TD with :11 to play made it appear closer. Even the Johnnie posters didn't have much hope on our board in the 2nd half.

All three CCIW teams hold serve. Elmhurst survives a late scare from IWU and wins 35-31.

Agreed. I clicked on the box after seeing that it was 27-22 and saw that the last Johnnie touchdown came with 11 seconds to go. My b. Point is, Bethel is probably safe. I think.

Waynesburg resume is tough:

1 loss
0 - 0 v. RRO
.436 SoS

Do they stay ahead of LC and Muhlenburg, both with 2 losses (but 3 of the 4 are against RRO teams) and drastically better SoS.

If Waynesburg remains ahead of LC & Muhl. do they all get burried during the selections?

[hazzben]

And what happens if Cal Lutheran loses.

They'd drop to 2 losses and have SoS numbers below PLU, Bethel and Concordia out West. Not to mention the rest of the two loss pool.

This isn't over yet. Exciting day!!
