Christmas Aumua

The scenario I mentioned almost a couple months ago has come to pass. Massey has had the Raiders in the top four since September and now has SOU in the #3 spot. Unfortunately, the coaches’ poll determines playoff locations. The Mid-South Conference, with 5 votes in the coaches’ poll, has put two of their teams at home for the quarterfinals.

Southern Oregon becomes a slight underdog in this situation, instead of a huge favorite at home with a team like Northwestern coming to Ashland, due to the seedings being based on the coaches instead of impartial Massey. Massey says Lindsey Wilson will win 35-33. I think the Raiders will win 45-24.

The coaches’ top 4 teams all won at home (and the Raiders did too at #5) which means SOU will be heading somewhere next weekend. The destination will likely be Lindsey Wilson or Morningside (due to distance). The coaches didn’t predict as well as Massey did. The coaches #7 Langston got creamed by Northwestern, just as Massey said they would, so once again the coaches are wrong and Massey is proven correct. Why is that SOU is going to have to travel next week when Massey has them in the top four? Write your congressperson or express your outrage to the NAIA somehow.

Massey disagrees with the coaches on two of the games.
