There is no snow in the forecast for Daytona, Florida next week. Instead, temperatures are likely to be in the 70s most of the time, occasionally dipping down into the 60s at night. Brrrrrr….
If you are in or near Ashland, come on down to RedZone today after 4:30 p.m. for Howard’s Happy Hour. Coach Craig Howard, and other members of the Raider coaching staff, will be available to chat and answer questions about SOU’s football season.

Massey agrees with all of my picks except for Montana Tech. I think Montana Tech’s more rigorous schedule thus far will lead them to an upset victory. Note that the rankings (“standing”) are Massey’s, not the coaches. With a more objective rating system, many of the locations of Saturday’s games would change.

The new football rankings have been released, and they look almost identical to my prediction. Fortunately, SOU is in the top eight so a win at Eastern Oregon this Saturday will get them a home playoff game. Unfortunately, only two other teams ahead of the Raiders in the rankings have difficult matchups this weekend. Doane will likely drop out of the top eight. Montana Tech could if they lose at home to Western Montana. Therefore, it will likely take at least two upsets in the first round of the playoffs for the Raiders to earn more than one home playoff game.

Scottow threw for a touchdown, caught a pass for a touchdown, and was the holder for several PATs in the victory over College of Idaho.

After yesterday’s games Massey has given Reinhardt its #1 ranking, a ranking held by SOU for most of the season. The coaches will likely go with SOU or Morningside in tomorrow’s poll. Massey doesn’t have Morningside in its top five.
I previously hinted that the Frontier Conference may have only one team reach the postseason, but with Montana Tech’s victory over Carroll yesterday, things could go otherwise. If Montana Tech can get by Eastern Oregon this coming weekend, the winner of the Montana Tech vs. Montana Western contest on 11/14/15 may also make the postseason (along with SOU, assuming things go well for the Raiders the next few weeks). If EOU beats Tech and Tech beats Montana Western, then Southern Oregon will likely be the only Frontier Conference team to make the postseason.

Bored with preseason NFL football? Me too. Well, next week’s game in Helena, Montana counts. Big time. The winner will be #1 in the best conference in the NAIA. The loser will have his work cut out for him. Go Raiders!
