Re: Atlantic Region

Most intriguing game today in many ways ... undefeated Mercyhurst at East Stroudsburg.

Slow Down vs Hurry Up. Drastically different styles. It's also always neat to see how a strong team like ESU, whom rarely sees it, does against the vaunted Laker zone.

Big day for the conference.

IUP at Kutztown is a big-time game.

Gannon at Bloom ... first to 40 may win

Boro at WCU ... we will learn the extent of the Boro injuries.

Seton Hill upsets Ship .... heard it here first.

Bloomsburg 66 Gannon 62

ESU 78 Mercyhurst 61

Shippensburg 84 Seton Hill 70

Millersville 84 Cal 63

UPJ 85 Mansfield 70

West Chester 88 Edinboro 37 ... wow

Lock Haven 88 Clarion 65

Re: Atlantic Region

What is going on at Edinboro?

One guy isn't worth a 50-point smackdown.

Don't wanna hear one injury excuse. That's the team that celebrated its win over IUP like it just cured cancer despite Anthony Glover being suspended and Dante having a broken wrist.

Karma is a mo fo.

IUP will give Ship its second straight loss.

Re: Atlantic Region

Each team's 'sample size' is getting a little better defined. While most wrongly say the regular season is still so 'early' ... it's already 25% (or more) over. Strange to consider

A quick update on the (current) top teams in the Atlantic Region:

MEC

West Liberty (5-0, 7-1)
Fairmont State (5-0, 7-2)
Notre Dame (4-1, 7-2)
Concord (4-1, 6-2)
Charleston (2-3, 6-3)
Glenville State (2-3, 5-3)
Shepherd (2-3, 5-3)

PSAC

IUP (2-0, 8-0)
Shippensburg (5-1, 8-1)
Mercyhurst (1-1, 5-1)
East Stroudsburg (2-0, 5-2)
West Chester (2-0, 6-3)
Kutztown (1-1, 5-3)
UPJ (1-1, 5-3)


CIAA

Chowan (1-0, 7-0)
Shaw (1-0, 4-2)
Virginia State (0-0, 5-3)
Livingstone (0-0, 4-1)


The 'Be on the Lookout' list:

Bowie State - winners of four straight including last night's upset of Shippensburg
Millersville - They can play and will wreck some havoc in the East
Virginia Union - Traditionally gets very strong as the season progresses
Slippery Rock - They have to get it going, right?
Gannon - Has looked awful for the most part ... but that's usually how Reilly teams look before Christmas. Injuries haven't helped.

No love for the Western arm of the Serbian National Team down in Buckhannon? I think WV Wesleyan will continue to be a tough out. Their schedule has pitted them against some of their most difficult competition early on (losses to FSU, Shepherd, and WLU). And they have two quality PSAC wins from opening weekend. I suspect they'll be a team to add to your "Be on the Lookout" list once they get into the easier portion of their schedule. They're a tough out with their length and wonky math-up zone D that most teams don't see much of around here.

Re: Atlantic Region

Ship is extremely well-coached and, as a result, is fundamentally sound and plays great defense which will keep Ship competitive. However, Ship's early schedule distort's Ship's record a bit. Ship's early schedule has Ship at home for 7 of its first 8 games against Virginian Union, Lincoln, Wilson, Wilmington, Chestnut Hill, Seton Hill and UPJ - not one serious contest excpet maybe UPJ. Ship's only away game before losing to Bowie was a win by 3 over CalU. So, Ship's first 8 games really provide no barometer for its battle on the road with IUP.

My prediction is IUP by 15.

That's a good nickname. I did overlook them due to the 4-4 record. WVW has two quality wins over West Chester and Kutztown. They have the odd loss to Ohio Valley. Four losses is a lot on Dec. 6 but isn't the end of the world. The question is can they go 17-4 down the stretch to stay at that key 8-loss line?

Re: Atlantic Region

I will try and update this every Monday. A few teams are getting close to being removed. Not to say they won't get back on eventually. These aren't in any particular 'standings' order but just show where the 'right now' top teams in the Atlantic stand.

For conversation purposes I highlighted my 'Top 8' as of today. That last spot being a toss-up between Virginia State, Concord and Notre Dame.


MEC

Fairmont State (6-0, 8-2)
West Liberty (5-1, 7-2)
Concord (4-1, 8-2)
Notre Dame (4-2, 7-3)
Charleston (3-3, 7-3)
Shepherd (3-3, 6-3)
WVW (2-3, 4-4)

PSAC

IUP (3-0, 9-0)
Shippensburg (2-1, 8-2)
Mercyhurst (2-1, 6-1)
East Stroudsburg (3-0, 6-2)
West Chester (2-1, 5-4)
Kutztown (1-2, 5-4)
UPJ (2-1, 6-3)


CIAA

Chowan (1-0, 7-0)
Shaw (1-0, 5-2)
Virginia State (0-0, 5-3)
Livingstone (0-0, 4-1)


Edit: I forgot about UPJ. They do have wins over Kutztown and Virginia State.
