Comments: Mount Union loses a single game by 28-31 to a 10-1 team and falls from #1 to #7? And they are Mount Union? And Whitewater is 11-0 and they aren’t ranked #1? Yup. Mary-Hardin Baylor has been a perennial contender and statistically it looks like they have their greatest team so maybe they’ve got it right. Can Linfield turn the tables on a team that beat them 27-66? The Wildcats beat the Crusaders, (or the Cru, as they call themselves) 28-21 for the 2004 DIII title, the last team other than Mount Union or Whitewater to win this championship. Is it time for somebody else to finally win this thing? I hope so. Rivalries are great but this event used to be about seeing new teams in the finals every year so you can see what some of those scores in the Sunday papers actually look like.
