OK, does that look correct?

I like it.  I like the Bethany Bison the best, followed by W&J.  Not sure what is on the the Bearcats head.

Reading in the general board of a lot of conferences moving their broadcast to Flo and behind a paywall.  We are lucky enough to have the PAC Network and real lucky to get a professional broadcast 1 game a week on KDKA+ for free. 

Anyone know what the PAC's future intentions are?  Is there any potential they will move away from this current system that we all know and love?  The dollar amount to the schools being thrown around is $30k.  I know every dollar helps, but outside of a few schools in the PAC, would the majority need that money bad enough to risk alienating alums, students, and current parents along with any other fans?

Also UAA is contracted with Flo, what does Case do with their football broadcast?

Any news going on in the PAC?

Any recruits of interest?  Any coaching changes? 

I am excited to see what St. Francis looks like as a D3 school.  You would assume the first year or two, they are strong and are amongst the top 3/4 teams. The question is how do they look year 3 and beyond. 

When are they eligible for D3 playoffs? 

The PAC needs them to be a tough team competing for the conference title, this conference cannot take another bottom dweller.

Quote from: WashJeff68 on December 07, 2025, 07:52:38 AMW&J loses a lot from this year's team,  but they don't normally need to rebuild, just re load. We will see. Clearly QB and wide receivers are ones who will be missed.

I know one of the freshman QBs played at my old high school so I saw him a few times. Either he is W&Js starter and he is really good, or someone was good enough to beat him out.  Your QB situation should be fine as long as they stay healthy.

Who do we expect to be the teams in the PAC next year? 

GCC losing some high end talent do to graduation.   I can see them taking a step back.

I also see Westminster raising the bar.

2 games against the HCAC this week. 

What do we know about Hanover and Mount St Joseph?

W&J certainly has a tough one this week with Susquehanna.

2 teams are in the playoffs.  Hopefully they both can win a few games.

Good luck GCC and W&J

Quote from: wally_wabash on August 26, 2025, 05:46:01 PMFalse starts are common at this time of the season! That'll get cleaned up. 

It happens. Just trying to get some conversations going here.  This board needs to liven up.  The season is around the corner and GCC is playing about as epic of an OCC as one can get. 

W&J will be pushing GCC hard for the top spot.  I like what Case and Westminster are doing and wouldn't be surprised if either ended up on top.   

I can't wait to see who from the others start to separate themselves from the rest to be a mid pack team. 

The PAC is looking strong this year, but the discussion on this bored is the pits.

This weeks Predictions:(HOME team in caps)

WESTMINSTER over Marietta
HEIDELBERG over Hiram
Concordia over THEIL
W&J over Utica
BETHANY over Sewannee
WIDENER over Geneva
Case Western over ROWAN
John Carroll over WAYNESBURG
ST VINCENT over Hilbert
Denison over ALLEGHENY

Game of the Week:
CORTLAND over Grove City in a close one.  If GCC was home, I would of gave the nod.


So I see the PAC going 5-6 this week. 

Didn't see anyone talk about the YouTube account called Division 1 Rejects.  I think he played D3 in Michigan (I could be wrong), but his content is 100% D2, D3, and NAIA. I found him roughly a month ago,  I do not know when he started the channel or what his content is like during the season. 

It is nice to see another outlet that discuss D3 ball, even if it's not exclusively D3. I follow D2 PSAC also so I only skip over NAIA content.

He has showed the PAC some love in the past.  Here he is showing love to the GCC defense.

Quote from: ADL70 on July 22, 2025, 10:12:50 AMHas Geneva been held back by continuing to run the triple-option? I recall a time when most of the WPIAL ran that offense. That no longer seems to be the case. Of course nationally, Springfield and Salisbury have still been quite successful with that offense.

The bottom of the PAC moves up one spot with the addition of Hiram, lowest NPI in D3. Will St Francis successfully transition to D3 and fill the void at the top left by CMU's departure?

I don't think the offense has held them back.  Look at D1, Army dominates similarly talented teams as them.  They put up good fight against superior talented teams, even in defeat.  I think Geneva issue is of their own doing, and I hope to leave it at that.

Heading into the season this is how I see it.

Top of the class:
Grove City
W&J

Contender:
Case Western
Westminster

Dark Horses:
Geneva- can they send Demarco off on a high note.

Pretender:
Waynesburg

Hoping to see important:

Allegheny
Bethany
Hiram
St. Vincent
Theil

Hiram returns a LOT of its production from last season. However, given that production was typically low - I'm not sure yet if that's a good or bad thing.

Thanks for the input.  Don't take my take personally.   I don't know much about Hiram other than their record from last season.  Plus im just a dude on the internet, I have no connections or inside info.
