FB: Region 6 fan poll

[Andy Jamison - Walla Walla Wildcat]

Sorry for the late response!

I changed up my rankings even before I saw the regional ones.  I put Linfield at 3 behind St Thomas and UWO.  Mainly as a way to start getting my head around the idea that we aren't going to be a #1 seed... through no fault of our own... damn down NWC and SCIAC!

I assume you'll be moving Whitworth to 5th or 6th then too? I'm using this as a poll of who I think wins on a neutral field - not a prediction of the regional rankings. Whitworth beats St. Norbert for the 10th slot on my ballot, which is pretty close to the poll results here.

Oshkosh is a very good team this year, but I don't see them beating UST or Linfield in the playoffs. It would be a good rematch from 2012 if UWO and Linfield square off.

Still waiting on a handful of ballots for this week. Hopefully I'll get them today.

Kind of shocked half the field is still selecting Wartburg over Dubuque.

10/17
Dubuque: 45
Wartburg: 13

To each his own I guess

Sometimes the whole body of work trumps a head-to-head result (IMO). UD has two bad losses to Wartburg's one.

To the #10 and #15 teams in the country.

Well, Wartburg's loss was to #20. The margins were bad (which is what I meant) in all three of those games.

[doolittledog]

You could also play it as Dubuque had 2 bad losses the 1st two weeks of the season.  And Dubuque has a big win against a ranked Wartburg the 7th week of the season.  Wartburg has played 1 game against a ranked team and lost by 32 points...mid-season. 

In the end, Dubuque gets the auto berth to the playoffs, and the NCAA has Dubuque regionally ranked higher than Wartburg.  So there is that. 

[d-train]

^ agreed. There are several ways of weighing the evidence. UD's losses were early. Wart's best win (at Bethel) doesn't look nearly as good as it once did. Wart has the edge in the west fan, D3 fan, and regular D3 polls. But UD has the edge where is matters (RR and autobid). I'd have UD ahead if they only had one loss. It's a close call (again, IMO) with two losses.
