Anyone know what is wrong with Hanover's starting QB (Div I transfer from Miami)?  He has been out the past couple of games.

no posts in 6 days here??  Does the HCAC have a big game this week??

Hansen gives MSJ a 70% chance to win.  47-38.

FC played some defense (a pick six and some penalties attributed to 14 of MSJ's32 points).  I may be wrong but I don't believe I saw Franklin attempt a pass in the 4th quarter. Great team effort all around to beat an improved MSJ outfit during what some would say is a rebuilding year (FC not as strong as in past seasons?)  Regardless the GRIZ roll-on towards another chance at a HCAC crown.

Looks like Hanover/Franklin for more than a rivalry trophy.
Should be, but have to see how the MSJ- Hanover game goes in a couple weeks to determine whether it's a 2 way fight or 3. If the Lions win that then there could could be a 3 way tie scenario and I have no idea how the tiebreaker works.

I have nothing snarky to say here for once, but I don't feel like MSJ would like going to Mount Union or Whitewater in the 1st Round.  That's essentially is what will happen to the HCAC Champ this year.

Depends on the final record and how other tournament teams are. I feel like there's usually a 7-3 team that manages to win their conference who ends up at Mount. If Franklin finishes 9-1 I'd expect someone like Wittenberg, a 9-1 CCIW champ, or John Carroll. An 8-2 MSJ or Hanover depends on who else is in, probably John Carroll is best case scenario, but they could do something wacky and end up heading down to Berry as they're both in range.

But I've learned over the years that no matter what scenarios I come up with, the committee always chooses some option that I'd never expected.

Franklin is definitely located in a geographically flexible location, so there are a lot of options.  As for where Franklin might get seeded- I think there's a difference between a 9-1 Franklin team that is carrying a loss to Mount Union or Whitewater or Butler and a 9-1 Franklin team that got smushed by an Albion team that is trending toward the middle of the MIAA.  I'd say Franklin is leaning more toward a 7 or 8 seed, but we won't know for sure until we see some regional rankings.

I agree completely.

Lets look at the contenders OOC results:

Franklin:
             W - Benedictine (2-1, NACC)
              L  - Albion (1-2, MIAA)
Hanover:
              L - Centre (3-1, SAA)
              L - Thomas More (5-2, IND)
Mount St. Joe:
              W - Capital (0-5, OAC)
                     Morehead State*

You could say a 7 or 8 seed would be the best-case scenario for these teams, if you wanted to be really technical about it. 

Hanover's SOS will be better than the other two teams - by how much, I'm not sure.

Looks like Earlham will take sole possession of the longest losing streak in D3. Franklin leads 43-3 at halftime racking up 517 yards of offense with the starters already pulled.

Mount St Joseph is only up 6-0 at Defiance after the first half. What on earth is going on? Defiance is a team we wonder if Earlham has a shot at beating and MSJ is a team that had conference title hopes. No way it should be this close.

Rose is up 17-6. Not much to say about this one. Couple of 2-4 teams who aren't nearly as close as the records indicate.

Hanover-Manchester level at 14 at halftime. Could the Panthers be looking ahead to MSJ a bit too early?

Interesting scores right now.
Hanover down 14-0 to Rose after the 1st quarter. If Hanover loses then Franklin locks up a playoff spot with a win.
Grizzlies however are down 17-14 at halftime against Bluffton. Both offenses are cruising but a Franklin fumble cost them the lead before halftime.
MSJ is taking care of business in their season finale up 34-6 on Anderson. If current results hold then they could still snag the title while not playing next week.
Defiance leads Earlham 7-3 at halftime in the battle of the winless.

Bluffton-Franklin has turned into a defensive struggle in the 2nd half. Jacob Earl has been on the sideline most of the game, just 6 rushing attempts. Grizzlies do lead 21-17 in the later stages of the 3rd.
Hanover still trails at halftime down 14-9. Franklin would be in the playoffs if these results hold.
Earlham is starting to lose their shot at ending their streak. Defiance has pulled out to a 21-3 lead.
MSJ still in control up 37-6

Franklin's defense really stepped up in the 2nd half. Bluffton's only points came after a muffed punt gave the Beavers 1st and goal. Franklin was well under their D3 leading average of 601.3 yards racking up just 360 but the defense held Bluffton to only 230 yards.

The streak continues as Defiance beats Earlham 28-10. That's 52 and counting for the Quakers and unless they pull off a massive upset next week will be the 2nd class to graduate without a win in their collegiate career.

MSJ finishes their season with a 44-6 win over Anderson.

Hanover looks like they'll pull out the win, up 2 scores late.

Is Jacob Earl hurt or just didn't play his usual snaps?  FC needs to get focused.  Hanover has their beast team in several years and will be coming to town on a mission. The GRIZ will need to play well.

I think it had to be an injury but I don't know for certain. He was in early but came out some point in the 1st half and never returned. If he was able I'm sure he would have been out there considering how close it was. Grunden struggled a bit early but eventually found his rhythm.

Hanover has definitely been a 2nd half team recently. Their last 3 games (at Manchester, vs MSJ, and vs Rose) the first half has been 14-14, 0-12, 9-14 while the second half scores have been 34-0, 15-7, 20-0. Need to get out front early because the Panthers will come 'roaring' back late.

Franklin picked up a vote in the Top 25 poll this week. I'm a bit surprised at that.

I saw him leave the field dragging an arm.  Looked like a shoulder injury to me.  They used him to double-team pass block Zickafoose, the stud DE from Bluffton.
