The Southwestern hiccup looks so massive now!

Is anyone else having a delay with footage/audio synchronization of the Rhodes-Trinity game?

[MCScots2013]

Been that way all year

Had to turn audio off

Lots of laundry flying around on Rhodes' last possession. Trinity stood strong, but that was "like a dozen" PI calls that kept giving Rhodes a new set of downs.

Rhodes beats Sewanee 39-37 with a walk-off field goal.  Ugly incident afterwards as the entire Rhodes team bull-rushed our bench.  Credit to Coach Freitag and staff for jumping in and pulling our players out of the mess.  Sad times and I hope Trinity lays the hard hurt on these people next week.

Mission accomplished.

Hard reality check for the Rhodies. Ouch.

Indeeed.  Karma does balance.

Y'all thinking TLU in SA for first round opponent?

[Ron Boerger]

Looks likely.  UMHb and HSU are high enough in NPI to get a first-round bye.

I wish they'd fly one of the NESCAC teams down there and see what they're really all about. Some really good teams going to stay home because the math is loaded for NESCAC and their no OOC games.

It looks like TLU moved up in NPI to where they are in hosting range. Maybe Huntingdon and Claremont-Mudd-Scripps flying to Texas?

Right now TLU sits 32nd.  I'm not sure I trust the NCAA to always (ever?) do the right thing when travel dollars are involved.  CMS has to fly somewhwere but I'm not sure Huntingdon does.  It would be nice to see and if the two Texas teams won, it would save a flight next week.

The D3football.com projection (which has TLU 31st, not 32nd) notes that last year "the NCAA committee only did that (award a bye) for 22 of the top 24 seeds".  But they *do* have CMS at TLU (with the winner to face #1 UWW, gasp!) and Huntingdon at Trinity (with the winner to face #6 WashU).  #16 UMHB hosts #21 Linfield in the second with #22 HSU going to #9 UW-Platteville.
