Leave it be, Ghost. She deleted the post, as is her right.
I think it's a wise policy to treat a post that's deleted within a few hours of being posted as though it was never sent. Almost everybody who has spent a lot of time on the boards has had occasions in which they've had second thoughts about what they've posted, especially if it was a controversial post or had a harsh tone. We should extend each other the grace to let such a post go if it's retracted, since we may be in that person's shoes somewhere down the road.

That said, I'd be all for adding D3football.com TO THE COMMITTEE.
Why not?
For me, the wisdom of having Pat & Keith involved is that you would have an exceptional balance of the forest and the trees. No one knows the entire D3 map as well as them. I respect the difficult job the guys on the national committee have, and they are on that committee because they are good at what they do. But I don't know that any of them see the big picture clearly. This is where having d3football involved would make sense. Even if it was just in an advisory roll. A couple of expert, unbiased voices in the room who can answer questions and fill in gaps in the criteria. Even giving the committee members a sense of how things have gone well and poorly in the selections historically, since this committee isn't self-perpetuating. Maybe they don't have a vote, but they are their as a resource.
And you've still got regional rankings and committee members who have a strong sense of how things stack up within their own regions and conferences. As well as the criteria itself.
Seems like a nice balance. I don't know how serious you were Keith, but I wouldn't see a problem with it. Neither of you have ever struck me as the Kirk Herbstreit type, where you'd stump for the good 'ol boys.
I'd be flattered.
I'd do it.
I've never been invited, of course.
And I probably would have lobbied hard for Concordia-Moorhead. Would have liked to see UW-P too but not sure how they could have been wedged in.

Guys, some assistance requested.
I vote in the North Region Fan Poll. How the he!! am I gonna sort out the NCC/Wheaton/Elmhurst triangle? NCC was dominating everyone after their opening loss, demolished Elmhurst, but was dominated by Wheaton. Wheaton barely lost to Elmhurst, barely beat IWU (back when they were good), lost to Albion (barely), but dominated NCC (which no conference team had done in years). Elmhurst has probably been the least impressive, but is the only one with one loss.
I have no clue in what order to place them.(With Wabash losing at home to Oberlin (Oberlin!
), the trio will probably be 3, 4, and 5; I'd vote them all #4, but not sure my ballot would be accepted!)
I'm sure this will be a topic of considerable conversation for the next 10-14 days. I have my thoughts based on "if they played 10 times, who would win the most...", but that is somewhat irrelevant.
I think we need to look at the NCAA regional rankings. It is highly unlikely that Wheaton would go from not even in the ranking to ranked higher than Elmhurst. NCC will likely drop below Elmhurst.
Personally I believe Wheaton is a better team than Elmhurst, but Elmhurst won the game this year and that is what counts at this point.
If I were to guess, the NCAA regional rankings will have these three as Elmhurst, NCC and then Wheaton.

Quick question for the Thunder fans or anybody else who wants to chime in....during the broadcast the commentary in a couple of places mentioned the offense being out of sync (there was one instance of a weird looking attempt at a screen play) and that it has been that way most of the season. How much of that do you think is because Wheaton is playing two quarterbacks? I know both players are very good...basically equally good. Do you think it hinders the offense to be switching back and forth constantly?

every time I think d3.com gets it right they make questionable moves with All America picks...
The Cortland QB as an HM All America over Meador? He wasn't even the POY in region (McSweeney) and didn't have the numbers Meador had...especially against the CCIW...they missed that one bad.
Then they pick a Benedictine DL over Jenkins, Garza, Hates, East or Ramsay? uninformed
McSweeny wasn't in the same region as Cortland.
The Benedictine DL has CCIW roots. He's capable against high-caliber competition.
It was a really tight call on that last QB spot. Pitcher was sacked least often and threw the fewest interceptions (one per 71 attempts as opposed to one in 50) and had similar yards per attempt. The NJAC is a quality defensive conference, so those are legitimate numbers.
