Ralph,

I would hope that HSC could compete for second or third if Hardin Simmons did not have the injuries.  They are better able to compete this year than in years past because they have a much more balanced team.  The defense is much improved and there is a feeling that they can win games other than by outscoring everyone.  Thanks for the input.

Then that sets up a potential South Region Finals... ;)

I don't think that Hampden Sydney can get past Washington Jefferson or Wesley.  They are a good team but I don't think that they are Top 10 or 15 in the country.

The most recent poll has some interesting trends.

Dickinson lost to JHU and still keeps its lead over JHU.

DePauw was voted ahead of Centre on some ballots.

TMC and MissColl are virtually tied.

Since the NCAA has ruled that Wesley can not host a playoff game in Delaware:

Has there been a team make it to Salem winning 4 on the road? It will be a long road to travel the next few years unless the NCAA changes their minds.

Yup, Mary Hardin-Baylor in 2004. They entered as Pool C team after losing a regular season game against Hardin-Simmons. They went on to beat HSU in the playoffs, as well as Mount Union, and did it all on the road. They wound up losing to Linfield in Salem.

2.7 seconds. An average football player may need more time to score; a great one finds a way. I've seen greatness happen.

They played #7 Trinity, #3 HSU, #5 W&J and #1 Mount Union.

Pacific Lutheran did it in 1999 as well.

But the story you cite is two months old. Delaware is no longer doing those things.

That was my first year in Seminary @ HSU.  The week of the 1st HSU-UMHB game was interesting, the week after was painful, but I wore my UMHB alumni shirt the Monday after the loss as I said I would.  The week leading up to the second game was trepidatious, but the week after was glorious.
My wife and I are Alumni of both UMHB and HSU.  You think you are confused, my kids don't know which Purple and Gold team to pull for.

Where did you find that article with todays header? I looked through the site and can't find it any where.
Football !!! The ultimate team sport. Anyone who plays DIII football is a winner...

Here on D3football on the Wesley page. That is what through me off. I knew the story was brought up in August but it had an October date in the header.

No love for JHU, their lone loss is to Delaware Valley whose lone loss is to Wesley. They proved saturday they are better than Dickinson @ Dickinson. Surprised to see Dickinson still in the top 10 and JHU is not.
