FB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[Crawford]

It's good to see two NCAC teams in the Top 25 and another two receiving votes this week, but I'm wondering how Wabash made the list and not Denison.  Both are 4-1.  Denison won the head-to-head last week in Granville.  Wabash won its non-conference game vs. Hampden-Sydney; Denison lost its non-conference game to #12 Hope.  Each team's other conference games have been against the bottom of this year's table.  Seems pretty even, but Wabash gets the recognition.  I have to believe that is due to program reputation and the fact that neither is actually in the Top-25.  For this Denison fan, though, it's frustrating.  It would be great for the Big Red to get more credit than they do.

You make a good point and even as a Wabash fan, I think you are correct.

Good catch. That was cast in error and was meant to be WashU instead of Wabash. I've made the correction and thankfully it doesn't affect the order of the poll.

Wait a minute! Records matter, and not reputation? That's bad news for all the .500 teams in the WIAC.

Saw this Substack on Wittenberg and it relates to D3

Wait a minute!  I make a good natured joke about the perception of the WIAC, and my post gets deleted? 

Now that's objectionable!!!

How thin can someone's skin possibly be?

[Patrick Coleman]

I didn't delete anything.

Is this your post?

Clearly it was my post.

Sorry - it was gone, but now appears to be back. I'll own up to my missteps if that's what it was.

[Patrick Coleman]

All I can say is you must have just missed it. I did not delete, then restore your post. (Once deleted, a post can't even be restored, anyway.)

Great game so far at JCU. Wabash coaches had a clear gameplan from the start and the players have mostly executed. Night and day difference from the sloppy performance and questionable play calling at Dennison.

Outstanding video production for a D3 contest. Kudos to JCU.

Congrats to the Blue Streaks. Gritty final drive to to take the lead. That was a fun game to watch. Would love to see Wabash perform like that the rest of the season.
