FB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[Gregory Sager]

Wash U 38, Millikin 7
Augustana 42, Illinois Wesleyan 21

So much for all the previous scenarios with IWU beating Augie after the Vikings doubled up on the titans today.

The final score is deceptive. It was a seven-point game until Augie scored two touchdowns in the final 6:06 of the contest.

Meanwhile, on the ho-hum side of things:

North Central 65, Carroll 7
Wheaton 65, Elmhurst 0

Yep, a bit ho-hum by the Cardinals today for sure. In addition to rushing and passing TDs, they only had additional touchdowns on a pick six, and a punt return. Unlike last week, there were no scores today on either fumble recoveries, or blocked kicks. 

Cardinal defensive end Bobby Medina is on a hot streak with regard to special plays. Last week he returned an Augie fumble for a TD, and today he had a pick-six.

More importantly, Wheaton is #10 among likely Pool C candidates. Per Logan Hansen's simulations, Wheaton has pretty nearly a lock on a Pool C spot. https://loghan.shinyapps.io/hansen-ratings-diii-football-season-simulation-distributions/

Certainly it was one of the many scenarios discussed. However, since all the scenarios dealt with which team might end up going to the Isthmus Bowl, I assumed others would naturally know what I was referring to was so much for IWU's chances of being in the Isthmus after being beaten by Augie. I guess I could have been a little clearer.

773-I can't say I understand the point of this. Is it just CCIW results against various teams?

[Patrick Coleman]

It's the entirety of non-conference play for the CCIW for this season.

[USee]

Cool. Thx

Carroll vs. IWU looks like game with smallest spread. IWU predicted to win by a TD.

A battle for 5th place.

Yep.  Sorry for not providing context.  I saw the list of NPI rankings for our CCIW teams and wondered about the rankings of our OOC opponents.  This is just a gut punch for WashU I think.  I wonder what ranking WashU's OOC opponent would have had to be in order for them to be in the pool C conversation.

I just think WashU is a playoff worthy team and it is disappointing that they won't have a chance to show that.  Then again, their OOC opponent was #205 Rhodes.
