| here is a peek at the playoff picture
hey fans i checked the other scores and we have good news and bad news.
first the good news: northwest nazarene beat western washington and that's a team we swept home and home this year. and humboldt got beat at home to alaska-anchorage. finally, grand canyon lost to BYU.
now the bad news: central washington won a huge game at SPU, and both alaska schools won on the road.
bottom line is that broncos will stay out of the top ten this week and will need both a sweep and help. we need seattle pacific and western washington to win out and beat those teams on the bubble with us. also, we need for chaminade and grand canyon to keep losing.
this week it will be a top ten similar to last. WWU and SPU will remain in the top two and are locks. chaminade is the only pac west school in the hunt at 15-8, and then there are anchorage 17-10, fairbanks 15-9, humboldt 14-8, central washington 13-10 and possibly even seattle 13-10 still ahead of us. we are 14-9 and absolutely must finish 18-9 now for any hope of sneaking into an eight seed. it is very rare for seven great northwest schools to be with winning records this late in the year, and we need at least two of them to nosedive, and we need the pac west schools to knock each other out.
that scenario puts three CCAA schools (bake, sonoma and us) pitted against five GNAC schools (WWU, SPU and three among the list above) for the regional title that we are hoping to defend. |
