And that became a game again, to end a long day. Final Whittier 67, Occidental 61. Oxy recovered two onside kicks and had the ball with 19 seconds left but couldn’t make a miracle happen.

It’s now 67-42, Whittier over Oxy, 5 to go. And the broadcasters have been talking about email coming into them (it’s been a looong game). I sent them one, and they talked about it on the air (kinda cool).

DIII Just got a couple mentions at the end of SportsCenter. The #10 top play was from the Williams-Amherst tilt and #8 was the Monon Bell game. And they weren’t fluke, “news-of-the-weird” type plays. Maybe ESPN is giving DIII it’s due finally? Or might this just be a tease of some serious coverage before going back to treating DIII as a sideshow?

Here’s hoping its an actual (minor) shift of landscape and not just a novelty act.

Here is my projected bracket. Generally, I agree with yours with a few changes.

Pool B: Case, Wesley, Salisbury
Pool C: SJF, St Johns, MtSt Joseph, Capital, Whitworth, Hobart, St Olaf (last two out Wartburg and Wheaton)

South
1) W&J
2) Wesley
3) UMHB
4) Case Western
5) Salisbury
6) Trinity
7) Hampton Sydney
NC Wesleyan

North
1) Mt Union
2) Franklin
3) Wabash
4) Mt St Joseph
5) Capital
6) North Central
7) Concordia (Wis)
Olivet

East
1) Muhlenburg
2) St Johns Fisher
3) Curry
4) RPI
5) Widener
6) Hartwick
7) New Jersey
Hobart

West
1) UW-Whitewater
2) Bethel
3) Central
4) St Norbert
5) Whitworth
6) Redlands
7) St Johns
St Olaf

Muhlenberg is a national fit as the East #1 seed. I prefer moving Case to South over Capital. I picked st olaf over wartburg based on Augsburg game (loss for wartburg, blowout win for st olaf). I eliminated wheaton based on losing last two games. In the west, i would need to have 1 vs 8, 2 vs 4, 3 vs 7, and 5 vs 6 to assure that only one flight needed to be made. No other flights would be necessary.

Montclair doesn’t actually have the stronger OWP, however.

Montclair lost by 30 to Cortland. That’s the dagger, myfriend.

Also why did they have to move salisbury to the East when there are 2 good teams in hobart and montclair.

rams15: Why would Montclair pass Hobart in the regional rankings if they were obviously behind them last week?
