If both win this weekend, the Panthers will travel to Dover on Nov. 11 for what will essentially be the ACFC title game. Both Ursinus and Johns Hopkins picked up their second conference loss, leaving open only a glimmer of hope for either to stop the Terror from clinching its fourth straight title. Despite their subpar outing against the Terror, Widener can clinch the Middle Atlantic crown with a win against Lebanon Valley this week or at Juniata next. Catholic s win put them in the driver s seat in the Old Dominion , but each of three possible playoff representatives have significant struggles ahead. Two Catholic wins clinch the title, regardless of the Wasps results.
Losses hurt big here.
Rose Bowl rule rewards the tied team with the longest period of time since their last trip to the playoffs. Bridgewater has never been. Neither the Cardinals or Wasps will go if they miss out on the championship. You see, the Quakers beat Randolph-Macon, who beat Catholic. The Eagles topped Western Maryland, who just last week beat Widener.
