Isiah Carter is mobbed in the end zone after picking up a fumble and returning it 43 yards for a touchdown in the 2017 NAIA football semifinals

Although I’ve followed the NFL, at times very closely, over the past forty something years, I’ve yet to ever go to a game. Between high school and college I’ve been to well over a hundred football games. But today marks the first professional football game I will ever attend. How is that possible in June, when I’m not even in a place (Denmark) known for American football?
Today I’m going to see Isiah Carter, coach for the SOU Raiders and player before that, play for the Frederikssund Oaks of the Danish American Football Federation. Should be interesting…
The 10-0 Southern Oregon University football team will look to go 11-0 this coming Saturday in Ashland against 9-1 DSU. Massey has the Raiders as 18-point favorites.
If the Raiders win and USF, Reinhardt, Morningside, or Lindsey Wilson should lose then SOU will get another home playoff game on November 25. Lindsey Wilson is the team most likely to lose. Massey has Lindsey Wilson as 5-point favorites over Southeastern FL.
More items of note, Massey has three Frontier Conference teams in the final 16. The coaches have only SOU, despite (or maybe because of???) the Frontier Conference’s history of winning road playoff games. The Frontier Conference gets two votes in the coaches’ poll. The Mid-South Conference gets five votes. So it isn’t surprising that four Mid-South Conference teams are going to the playoffs, and two are ranked in the top four, even though the conference hasn’t produced a national champion in the past 15 years (Frontier Conference teams have won seven national champions in the last 15 years).
