Raiders head to Idaho

This weekend the Southern Oregon University football team will be on the road again, taking on the College of Idaho Yotes. Carroll is the only team in the Frontier Conference getting much respect from the coaches doing the NAIA national rankings. The coaches seem to look more at records and the teams’ performances in prior years than strength of schedule in the current year, who a team beat, or where games take place.
College of Idaho doesn’t garner any votes from the coaches, but more accurate and objective rankings like Hensley Ratings say otherwise. There, the Yotes are ranked #15. In addition, College of Idaho is undefeated at home. Still, Hensley Ratings predicts the Raiders will be victorious by a touchdown.
Down to #7

With the Raiders loss to Carroll College the NAIA Football Coaches Poll rather unfairly dropped SOU three spots in the rankings. Both Carroll and SOU are undefeated against a similar schedule. (In fact, SOU has one more win than Carroll and no more losses.) SOU beat Carroll by 3 points at home. Carroll beat SOU by 2 points at home. Anyone who has watched both of those games would say that the teams are evenly matched. They would probably win about 50 games each if they played each other 100 times. Yet Carroll is ranked #3 while SOU is ranked #7. Why?
If SOU wins the rest of their games they will get at least one home game in the playoffs. However, if Carroll wins the rest of their games they will get at least two home games in the playoffs. Why?
Hopefully, SOU wins the rest of their games and a few teams ahead of SOU in the current rankings are upset between now and November 15.

The Southern Oregon University volleyball team swept Corban and Northwest Christian these past two days on the road. They are now 11-1 in the conference and will be big favorites in Ashland for next weekend’s contests.
Game day

Huge game today for the Raiders as they take on the #3 Saints of Carroll College in Montana. The only reason Carroll isn’t ranked #2 is because SOU beat them at home earlier this year. Supposedly you can watch the game here this afternoon.
P.S. Keegan broke the tackle in today’s photo and rambled for another 10 yards on the play. He is averaging 7.7 yards per carry in his freshman season.

Excessive celebration penalty
@kendra_mk13 @SOUWomensSoccer @SOURaiders
We all learned from the Arizona-Oregon football game that an excessive celebration penalty can be very costly. On that occasion the Ducks may have lost the game (and the national championship) because of the penalty.
Today’s series of photos show another kind of penalty for excessive celebration. 😉

Last week’s road win was enough to earn the Raiders a spot in the top 10 in the national NAIA rankings this week. They have games at Corban and NCU this weekend.
