Ranked #8, post season record 5-6 (0 titles0 Comments: You’ll notice that the NAIA contenders cover only a few states, mostly in the midwest. None of them are unbeaten, mostly because they keep playing each other. It’s the “small town” of college football, where everybody knows everybody. Perennial power Carroll lost their opener to Southern Oregon 35-38 but is unbeaten since, including a regular season rematch with SO, which they won 42-40. Will there be a rubber match? Grand View won their first ever title last season so they are the defending champs. Morningside won their first nine before missing a perfect record by a single point. They have put up some impressive numbers the last few seasons but have yet to break through for a championship. They scored 83 points in one game this year but Lindsay Wilson topped that with a 91 point game. I didn’t complete this until these games had been played. I will cover the details in the coming week. Here are the scores: Carroll (Mont) beat Valley City State 49-0 Grand View beat Langston 38-3 St. Xavier beat Campbellsville 38-35 Morningside beat Ottawa 49-21 Missouri Valley beat Northwestern Iowa 20-17 (2OT) Lindsay Wilson beat Faulkner 20-17 Marian beat Georgetown (KY) 34-3 Southern Oregon beat Mid-America Nazarene 44-26 [/QUOTE]
