2019 Pool C

[wesleydad]

I just don't think you can draw any real conclusions from 3 blowouts of the same team.

You can draw one, CNU was not very good this year.

What was the last time a team outside of UW-W and UMHB beat Mount?

John Carroll, last game of regular season, 2016.

The reason Mount union visited the Cruthedral in the semis.

I don't know if someone else has pointed this out, but this is the first time in the Pool era that none of the four brackets has had two teams from the same conference.

How can that be? 5 Pool C teams in four brackets

Ithaca798891 - Perhaps you are confusing brackets with conferences. If there are two teams from a Conference, like the CCIW, they won't meet until the Stag bowl. The committee, wittingly or no, made sure no two teams from the same conference didn't meet up again until later in the brackets.

Usually the island teams (and more usually two ASC teams) end up in the same quadrant but this year Chapman and Redlands were split up.

You know, I thought the same thing.  That the math just didn't work.  But it turns out it does. 
Redlands (UMHB region), Chapman (Wheaton region)
Wartburg (UMHB region), Central (Wheaton region)
Wesley (Mount Union region), Salisbury (Salisbury region)
UW-Oshkosh (Wheaton region), UW-Whitewater (UMHB region)
North Central (Mount Union region), Wheaton (Wheaton region)

I'm not sure if this was intentional or a happy accident (probably a bit of both), but I think it's good to split these teams up when possible.  In general, I think this committee really paid close attention to those kinds of details and did their best to avoid well-worn matchups, avoid rematches, etc.

So North Central gets in while Susquehanna and John Carroll don't.

Would have to believe Susquehanna was the odd team out as the result of UWW dropping their final game to UWO.

Susquehanna 4/S .518 SOS
John Carroll 5/N .500 SOS

I posted earlier that Brockport had 23 interception returns for a TD, I meant 2 interception returns for a TD.  Fat fingers...no focus...story of my life.

Yes, I would say Susquehanna was definitely the next choice if there had been another bid available.  Alas, no more bids and they stay home.  It's a shame too, because they are good team and might have made some noise. 

Anybody out there eyeing a big upset this week?  I think Central will give UW-O all they can handle.  They are an efficient and high powered offense.  I think that one could end up with Central winning. 

I also like Del. Val. to win at Bridgewater, probably pretty close, but still. 

Lastly, whose going to get the nod for North Region QB? Rutter or Fulford must be the top 2 picks right?  Each of them lead a few categories, and are 2nd in the other categories.  Fulford has 1 pick on the season, Rutter has 2.  Kind of crazy.

They're going to get at least one, probably two games in before we have to put out All-Region. If there is a head-to-head game, those guys will each be going against the best team they've faced all year, so there's plenty of data left to be collected, so to speak.

"...probably two games in...." is code for "they play each other next week, let's see who plays better, winning will help"

I follow Lazindex and Bornpowerindex for the ASC Pick'ems contest.

At the end of the regular season, these were the teams who did not earn a bid, either Pool A or C thru the 1st 15 spots in those indexes.

Lazindex --  Tommies #7; HSU #8; Susquehanna #9; Bethel #11; John Carroll #12; UW-La Crosse #14

Bornpowerindex -- Susquehanna #6; JHU #12; HSU #14; Randy Mac #15.

[Ralph Turner]

I miss the bracket challenge that we used to have on the website.

Here are my picks:

UMHB, Berry, UWW, Wart; Wheaton, UWO, Chap, SJU; Salisbury, Union, Muhl, Brock; UMU, NCC, Wesley, BC

UMHB, UWW, Wheaton, SJU; Salisbury, Muhl, UMU, Wesley.

UMHB, Wheaton, Salisbury, UMU.

UMHB, UMU.

UMHB 16 UMU 13
