The more interesting question, at least in my mind, Ralph, is does UMHB get considered for a Pool C if they lose to HSU (or whomever the eventual conference champ happens to be)?

If UMHB loses to HSU in the conference, I believe that HSU will be the #1 seed in the region.  (If HSU goes 10-0, then they will be no worse than the #2 seed.

Right now, my bracket for the south (Projected in-region records are listed) is:


#1 Muhlenburg (CC)  10-0
#2 UMHB (ASC) 8-0
#3 Trinity (SCAC) 9-0

#4 W&J  (PresAC) 8-0
#5 Salisbury 6-0 (Predicting a win over Wesley)  Pool B
#6 Wash StL 6-0 (How they do in the NCAC games is a real question.)  Pool B
#7 HSU 9-1 
#8 CNU (USASouth)  8-1

#9 Millsaps  7-1
#10 HSC (ODAC) 8-1
#11 Wesley 3-2  Pool B
#12 Huntingdon 9-1 (Waiting to see if the committee actually rates a 9-1 Huntingdon over a 3-2 Wesley, if we ever know). Pool B

and two get shipped out.

Pool A bids are in bold.  HSU and then Millsaps will be the first two Pool C bids on the board.

Wow, Ralph, that's one heckuva crystal ball you have there  ;)  I'm lucky if mine will see a week into the future.

Josh Bowerman

Yeah, I'm not sure I'm willing to go there at this point, either, Ron!   :)

Anyone think the AA would be offended if someone created a trophy for the Texas Sub-Bracket and presented it to the winning team?  ;D
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.

I have already posted my Best all-time teams on another message board.


I have thought about a trophy honoring the winner of the Texas Sub-bracket.

Whereas the national championship is affectionately called the "walnut and bronze", I have imagined this trophy to be a very classic piece of Texana, the "Barbed Wire and Mesquite".  This trophy is a stylized gnarly piece of Mesquite trunk that has grown around a strand of barbed wire, as we see when we are walking the plains or riding the fencelines.

Just noticing this now, Ralph, but if we only had four ballots this week, why are there five places for votes shown?




Error--- I hit "modify" instead of "quote".  Sorry! 


#5 was temporarily without reliable computer and internet access.

He got me the ballot as quickly as he could.   :)
