Key player, like QBs, from cold climates will help in the playoffs against cold weather teams.

That is exactly what it says in the article.

Will the realignment in 2007 (Juniata to the Centennial etc.) cause any kind of region shift?

Can Don Hansen's one man band be considered a "poll"? 

Hopefully CLU will get some love in the next two weeks.  Getting to the playoffs is another thing.

Thanks, guys.  I remember his posts.

Only a few old timers to the SCIAC site will remember Jo Ryan.  He didn't know a thing but pretended to.  He was promoting some obscure new school to be part of the SCIAC.

He suddenly disappeared.  I think his school did also. 

I actually think Pat pulled his (her) posting rights.

Fill us in if you can.

OxyBob,

Thanks for posting the LATimes stories.  I can never find them when I search for them. 
For Oxy to go undefeated, they will have to win the Stagg, so I doubt there will be a story.   I see that Linfield was mentioned also as tied for 25th.

I don't think anyone has mentioned that CLU got ONE vote on the coaches poll.

Kid,
Beware of teams with good O-Lines.  That spells success in 2006 if they come back.

Josh,
That was my thinking.

CwbyFann,

You will find plenty on the ASC pick-em board.

CRZK,

Many people on these boards read Hansen, but you won't find many fans of his.

This is the only place to find out about D3.  Hansen only has a following because he's been around sooooo long.

downtown48,

There is an analysis on the "top 25" discussion board  showing that Oxy has a stronger schedule than Linfield.  

The SCIAC was founded in 1915.

UCLA was a member from 1920 to 1927.  Go Bruins! Beat OXY USC!

I'm not sure whether Lewis & Clark will play next year, but it looks like Oxy would be on their current schedule for 2006. The other three teams L&C plays this year may complete their home and home series this year.

This will be the fifth year in a row for Oxy to play L&C.
It will be the second  year for CMS.
It will be the fourth year for Chapman and the sixth for Colorado College.

Oxy has played Colorado College every year since 1999.  So it looks like they would at least be scheduled for 2006 at Oxy.

It appears that Oxy prefers long term relations with similar schools  rather than schedule for strictly football reasons.
