One thing to watch for here - AND in "B" land, is that cancelled game between Chicago and Pacific. That may benefit Chicago, since I don't know how much Pacific would help them. They may win just two games this year (Lewis & Clark and rookie George Fox).

Wesley is putting the Pool B to bed this weekend, yes?  When they beat Louisiana College on Saturday, they finish their D-III schedule at 5-0.  I'm not sure anybody can take that playoff spot from Wesley.

Oh, my sweet Wesley...

Loving the quotes but I just have to point out that the character's name was Westley, not Wesley, so this whole thread started on a misconception. That being said, "never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line"

Just look back at the past few pages... we're not a group who lets little things like facts get in our way :D

Something sure to get people more riled than the absence of IWU on my ballot: I think that movie sucks. I've never understood the deal people have with it.

As with most things, the book is better than the movie. Too much of the background got chopped out to make the movie. But I still like them both for entertainment purposes. It's not great cinema, or literature, by any stretch...

I find it interesting there is so much ink being wasted over 2 teams that are at the bottom of the fan poll and virutally non-existent in the D3.com poll (although it should be noted that Franklin is an ORV and IWU is absent). Rankings are not exact science. Its part art and part science. I am frankly (no pun!) surprised there isn't a lot more discussion over the ranking of Wabash vs JCU. I spent a lot more time on that in my thought process than I did IWU vs Franklin.

The reality of IWU/Franklin is these two teams are not dramatically different. A 7 point home win by IWU was not a blowout and in my opinion, IWU played progressively worse the next two weeks after that win while Franklin seemed to stabilize and arguably improve. For me these two teams are interchangeable and given the current mediocrity of both I don't think its worth the breath to determine who is 3-10pts better. If they played 10 times one of the two would probably win 6. I don't know who and it doesn't matter. The HTH is important to me in the week after but since it was so early and fairly close, it doesn't mean as much to me since teams are so different now (yes even 2 weeks later).  I am much more interested in whether JCU or Wabash are #2 and the discussion on Wheaton vs NCC. Of course those debates are more speculative without a HTH. Wabash's HTH w HSC was an impressive win. If it were close, it wouldn't mean as much in my mind, but Wabash dominated. I know the LG's D is for real. I have seen them up close and they keep doing their thing, including shutting down an AA QB. I have my concerns about JCU since they laid an egg in last years playoffs (which shouldn't matter in this years rankings). Their D seems legit but they seemed good last year too and we were fooled. Last year they gave up 3 TD's through 9 weeks before giving up 69 pts in their 2 season ending losses. So JCU may be fools gold. I have Bash ahead because I am much more convinced of the quality of their defense and O/D Line than I am for JCU.

I have Wheaton over NCC in my rankings in part because I believe it and in part because I hope its tru. But Wheaton (despite Wally's assertion) has been solid in going 3-0. their offense needs to be tuned but they have played great defense, don't turn it over and have controlled the LOS in every game. Thats a recipe for a lot of wins. Wheaton turnedit over 4x in a scrimmage against Bash (another reason I am high on Bash) and 4x in 3 games since.
