How's this for a stat? Including last night, Wisconsin-Whitewater and Mount Union have played for the Division III football championship seven consecutive years. Not one or the other playing for the championship seven straight years, they've played each other for the title seven straight years.
And I thought pollsters were in the tank for the SEC. They have nothing on Division III. At least until this year, the geniuses behind the BCS at least let someone from outside the SEC have a shot at the title..
Oh wait a minute! That's right! Division III has a playoff. That means you have to earn your way to the title game by winning games against other good teams.
What a concept!
I miss the days when my boys, Ithaca, were a perennial powerhouse...no really, there was a time!
