^  The only thing that might make his prediction of 10 points accurate is that Mount might be playing without the highest rated QB in D3 throwing to a stellar receiving corps.  Or at best playing with a hobbled QB.   If Fulford was healthy this would be a 30 point line.  Easy.

Mt. Union vs Centre will likely be a lot closer than most think.

@martin_r_taylor
Replying to @Michael56533172 @d3football

Mt. Union has a 53rd ranked strength of schedule vs Centre having 7th. However, Mt. Union does put up big numbers & there is no way I would argue against that. I've seen film of both teams. They look almost identical on both sides of the ball. Athletes everywhere & great coaches.

I have to question Mr Taylor's ability to evaluate what he sees on film.

To stay with Mount Union, not only can you not make mistakes, you must have superior overall team speed....All-American class team speed in your defensive backfield. Ask any opponent.  (Not bragging here.  They can humiliate you if you are half a step slow.)  I look forward to the match up if Center looks as talented and fast as Mount.  There are many teams who felt equal to the challenge coming into Mount Union Stadium. Maybe only two or three home losses since 1986.

I certainly don't dispute your claim regarding the need for DB speed to hang with Mount Union, I think outside UMHB only Saint Johns has the DB Athletes to play with MUC. Pre Season All American Max Jackson and FCS transfer Chris Harris are legit. Just hope they get the opportunity to prove it.

I would add UWW to that list too.  They have more than proven their ability over the last decade.

Thanks UMU folks for the participation, which sadly is more than we've seen from Centre supporters the last couple of years (or more) combined.   Here's hoping for a good game this weekend.   Happy Thanksgiving to all.

I think they were thinking recent players and success.

IMHO, any team that wins the WIAC at 10-0 fits that category.

Yep speaking in terms of this years team rosters, I am sure UWWW has plenty of athletes as well.

Centre CB Cal Lewellyn is one of this week's D3football playoff features.   He'll have his hands full on Saturday to be sure.

 Question for those D3 experts, how did the travel rule get set at 500 miles?  How many more options would the committee have if the rule was at 600?  Would it matter in the first round?

^ knowing the history of the NCAA, I'm going to guess 'darts'.

The altruistic answer is that they don't want student athletes having to spend 10+ hours on a bus.  The real answer is that the density of D3 schools back east is such that it also prevents having to pay for a LOT of flights.  600 miles might add a couple of corner cases but the schools involved probably wouldn't be thrilled about having to climb on a bus for that length of time.

We answered this question on a recent podcast, actually.
