FB: Region 4 fan poll

[HOPEful]

I'm column E this week.  Surprised to only see one ORV. I think there are 10 teams that you could vote for and not be out of pocket.  The eight here plus Hanover/MSJ I think are all NRFP-worthy at the moment. 

I'm column B. To me, I agree with you for the 7th spot only. I think the teams 1-6 have bodies of work that make it really difficult for the HCAC teams, and oddly enough, Mount Union, to overcome. Heidelberg won in Alliance. DePauw lost a close one in St. Louis and has been destroying teams ever since.

Always a tricky balance of close losses against good teams vs. big wins against bad teams.

Column D for me.

I'm A this week.  My top 7 didn't change.  I keep a document with weekly results so sometimes I go back and compare wins/losses when I feel two teams are close.

Edit: I realized I didn't update the records after I posted. I'm not going back and fixing all of them. Just add 1 to everyone's wins. I'll hopefully remember next week.

I did not change my rankings this week as nothing happened last week that I thought justified doing so.

My rankings are now THE rankings, as I'm row D.

I am very interested to see what we all do with the winner and loser of JC and DePauw. Calvin v Trine is an exciting test for Calvin. Some low-key fun matchups this week.

I'm column F this week.  Unlike other Raider posters, I do believe that Mount Union is improving.  Maloney is looking more like how he played last year.  It has been posted that he was injured earlier in the season and it seems like he is healthy now.  Not sure what his injury is.  The defense is still making mistakes and will have to play a lot better to beat BWU.

I believe JCU is better than BWU.  Their only loss to Wash U and they have played better competition.

I'm still not on the Calvin Train.
