Anyone else notice that with the sole exception of MUC, all the top 10 teams played in the North/West half of the bracket?
Uhm...Wesley?

Oops! :-[

Still 8 of 10 on one side of the bracket.

MUC is really a North Region Team also.

Of course #7 is also really a Southern team...

And #11 Johns Hopkins came from off the charts to land where it did.


Mr. Ypsi

My basic point was that the brackets would have been somewhat more balanced if they had found someone other than UMHB to import.  Without going back to double-check, there must have been SOME other option.

Here is how I see the 2010 preseason poll I will admit that after the top 8 I did think about regions when ranking teams.  I would have a different list IF I was ranking the BEST TEAMS.

1. UW-Whitewater
2. Mount Union
3. Wesley (Del.)
4. St. Thomas (Minn.)
5. Linfield (Ore.)
6. Mary Hardin-Baylor (Texas)
7. St John's
8. Wittenberg
9. Delaware Valley
10. Central
11. North Central
12. Wabash
13. UW-Stevens Point
14. Ithaca
15. Thomas More
16. Hardin-Simmons
17. Trine
18. Otterbein
19. Cortland State
20. Willamette
21. Wartburg
22. Ohio Northern
23. Monmount
24. Mississippi College
25. Huntington

not bad, but Linfield might be the third best team in the country, IMO...unfortunately Mount Union will probably be defaulted to #1 again...it doesn't seem to matter what UWW does the previous season, or who they bring back, Mount will always start off the year #1.

02 Warhawk,

UWW should be rated Pre-season # 1. After all they won it last year. That said, the D3 experts may look to determine who has the better chance this year. Mount has some key guys returning like Shorts, K Miller and a real good RB in Panchik. UWW has a strong returning group as well, so we will just have to see how the season unfolds!

yea, i agree with the notion that the #1 team should be who they think will be the best team that year, and not how they finished the previous season. After Whitewater won it in 07, i agreed with the fact that Mount started the 08 season off as number 1, b/c of who they brought back compared to what UWW lost. MUC came back with Kmic and Micheli, while UWW lost Beaver and Jones. I was ok with MUC starting off #1 then

With that being said...i'm not sure how MUC was number starting the 09 season after they lost Micheli and Kmic...while UWW brought back their entire team more or less.

Oh well...it's how you finish the season that matters.. right?

There was some question as to whether your quarterback was going to be eligible.

If Willamette gets through their early season grind we could see a battle of two top ten teams in early Oct when Linfield and Willamette hook up.  As much as I hate to write this but Willamette is going to be a very good team in the west region this year.

I do not see a Otterbein at #18 and Ohio Northern at #22. ONU should be in the #10-15 category, while Otterbein in the 20-25 if that.
13 time Division III National Champions

short

Otterbein has 4 or 5 D1 transfers including a few former D1 starters joining there team this year.  In my mind that and their returners bumps them up to  the #2 team in the OAC finishing the regular season at 9-1. ONU on the other hand cann't finish 9-1 if Otterbein does (unless one of them beats Mount Union) so I see them on the outside looking in at the playoffs for the 11 season in a row.  Thats just my take.  However I think both Otterbein and ONU are better than Del Valley at #9 but I think Del Valley  has the easier road to the regional finials.

I agree with the rankings overall but I think Otterbein will crack the top 25 by the end of the year! With the addition of Dominic Jones ( Former Minnesota Gopher & Brookhaven state champion) they should be pretty good! Otterbein Special teams and defense might top the charts with this kid!
I speak the truth, when I see the truth!!!
