Tough draw for the CCIW.  Just hours after Pat & Company projected NCC to have won the bracketing lottery (playing CUC, surely one of the worst #2s in d3 history)), they go TO Cal Lu, and if they survive go TO Linfield!  Meanwhile, Elmhurst not only doesn't host, they travel TO a 10-0 Coe!

OUCH! :P

Not really....CUC has the offense where it can drop 40 points on a team on a daily basis. Their D leaves much to be desired but has made several game changing plays during the season. CUC however still has a tough out in Bethel to deal with in the first round.

Interesting draw for newby Heidelberg.  They're as likely to play in the regional final as they are to lose Round 1.
I find easily offended people rather offensive!

Statistics are like bikinis; what they reveal is interesting, what they hide is essential.

A possible Heidelberg/Hobart matchup is certainly interesting.

I meant to post this here and not Pool C, but: While I may be mad about the double NEFC selection it's still better than the BCS!  :P

CUC (which of course SHOULD be CURF ;)) is a great story and I've been cheering them on all season.  But quite honestly I have them a 3-4 TD underdog to either NCC or Bethel (even if the game IS in River Falls!).

As far as I know, Illinois hasn't lost its NCAA hosting rights. But I wouldn't mind the game being moved to River Falls. It's a lot closer to me than River Forest. ;)

Apparently being an AQ from a conference that got 2 teams in the playoffs, and could have gotten 3 in, and being a historically strong team in winning or sharing the conference title 7 years in a row in a very tough conference, means nothing, or little at best.  :o

Dang!  I keep doing that (and my brother lived in River Forest (3 blocks from CURF) for years! :-*

Past performance means diddly to the NCAA except when divining undefeated teams apart from each other. Bethel's RR was a lot lower than Concordia.

Tough draw indeed.  Meanwhile, Adrian loses to a CCIW team (Carthage), wins a conference that got slapped around by the CCIW's best and somehow still manages to draw a home game, while 9-1 Elmhurst travels 215 miles west. 

The NCAA folks work in mysterious ways.
It's a Great Day to be a Jay!

Still, the principle holds. Past performance matters not one whit, nor should it.

Am I hearing some respect for a SCIAC Team? I thought NCC was pretty tough?

TJBWWPL

I am not sure why we use polls they do not mean anything. We have what is rated the best conference in the nation the WIAC, and a team that is rated #13 in the nation and they are passed up. Honestly I respect other conferences and programs but I feel a team like UW Platteville is better than 3/4 of the teams in the playoffs. But every year you see teams with high seeds that are not justified. I also know some conferences are extremely weak and still manage to pull out multiple invites to the playoffs. When will common sense and knowledge of strong conferences and teams be allowed to grace D3. A few years back the committe chose to send the #1 team in the nation on the road for 2 games by giving them a lower seed. They showed that the people making the decisions for playoffs lack knowledge and common sense. I hope some day they get it right.. Best of luck to all playoff teams.

Pat Coleman

It's true the NCAA doesn't agree with our poll, but our poll performs better in the postseason than their seedings do.

However, this should not be a surprise. We have had three projected brackets and two regional rankings that have had UWP on the outside looking in. There's been plenty of warning.
