Week 9 Live Thread

[SRU 88]

I'm not surprised. I picked IUP in this game based on loyalty.

In the end, it probably cost them the first round bye.

Gotta move on.

Frankly, if Stewart can make it back it will help.

He does not play defense.

[IUP Crimson Hawk]

That’s BS. The defense lost the game, they stayed back in Indiana.

You are right, the defense did not play well. The REFS WERE TERRIBLE!! BULL **** ROUGHING THE PUNTER that changed the game!! HEAD UMPIRE PLAYED FOOTBALL AT GANNON?!?!?! HOW IS THAT ALLOWED???????

You just might be correct iupgroundhog .....even with the 10 game schedule. Beating both Cal U and Slippery Rock help them. But Cal U can return the favor and beat LIT AF next week, and put IUP back in the Championship Game, IF they take Clarion serious next Saturday.

[IUP Crimson Hawk]

IUP wins next week, they host the PSAC Championship game. FACT.

[IUPNation]

They already lost to rock - 3 way tie. I might be wrong but Iup wins with the tie breaker

I thought head to head counted first.

IUP shouldn’t want The State Game now. Take the Walk Ons and hope 9-1 gets a decent playoff slot. Let Bagent terrorize LIT AF on the junior high practice field.

Of course LIT AF still has to beat Penn West Mon Valley.

Seriously, settle down.

[IUP Crimson Hawk]

Seriously, settle down.

Not settling down when I find out the head umpire played football at Gannon!! How is that allowed???

Speaking of State Penn, the Nitwit Kittens are leading THE Overrated State University 21-16 with 9:26 left in regulation.

Also, Hillbilly High (aka WVU) is losing 31-24 with 11:40 left in regulation. And the Purple Kermits are driving. It's been a nail biter in Morgantown (which isn't a surprise, because TCU always seems to struggle against the Hillbillies).

I think the defense was just beaten. As of 10/29/22, Gannon's offense is pretty good.

Appreciate the updates.

IUP should still decline the State Game. 8-2 might not get them in….

ESU still leading 17-7 but Cirillo is struggling. Back to back plays where he badly underthrew one guy, and then badly overthrew the next. 2:51 left in the 3rd, Ship with solid field position. This one is far from over.

That is true. If teh pass rush is not getting to Bagent, he will pick apart IUP's secondary apart, especially if Gannon can pick them apart.

Here are the tiebreakers (since you asked so nicely):

a. Head-to-Head Results among tied teams
b. Record against teams in the division not involved in the tie starting at the top of the standings
c. Overall record in mandated conference games (divisional & crossovers included)
d. Mandated crossover opponents’ aggregate record in their division only games
e. Road wins among the nine PSAC mandated games preceding the Championship Game
f. Record vs. teams in the opposite division starting at the top of the standings
g. Coin toss

Head to head: We can throw that out since Gannon beat IUP, IUP beat Rock and Rock beat Gannon.

Record against teams in the division not involved in the tie starting at the top of the standings: Presuming that IUP beats Clarion, Gannon beats Cal and Rock beats Edinboro, the three tied teams would be 5-0 against the rest of the division.

Overall record in mandated conference games (divisional & crossovers included): This is where Gannon gets tripped up. Presuming the Gannon, IUP and Rock all win, this is where the teams would stand in the PSAC mandated games:

IUP: 9-0
Rock: 8-1
Gannon: 7-2

Gannon's loss to West Chester comes back to bite LIT-AF in the BOOM spot, so they're out.

Now, we start over with IUP and Rock tied for first in the West. IUP holds the advantage based on their win over Rock, so IUP basically wins the West for the right to get clobbered by Shepherd in the State Game.

[EdinboroFB]

It does look like a 3 way tie..... gannon gets kicked out of the tie with the loss to West Chester.

Gannon has to beat Cal tho
