This week’s coverage of the Jerry Sandusky/Joe Paterno scandal at Penn State pre-empted my coverage of the events in the divisions of college football that Balladeer’s Blog usually covers. Starting with the NJCAA, where the post- season began last weekend the 8th ranked Hutchinson Blue Dragons (logo at left) routed their 1st round opponents the Coffeyville Red Ravens, setting up the Deja Vu Bowl tomorrow. In a rematch of last year’s Region VI championship game the Blue Dragons will face their archrivals the number 3 Butler (KS) Grizzlies, who took down the Dodge City Conquistadors last Sunday to advance to the region’s title game.
Meanwhile, in a conference championship game being played today two Top 5 teams in the NJCAA square off in a matchup that also carries national title implications. The 2nd ranked East Mississippi Lions battle the number 5 MS Gulf Coast Bulldogs (see below for the video link). Butler fans will obviously be pulling for the Bulldogs so they can move into the number 2 slot and a berth in the championship game. The new number one team, the Arizona Western College Matadors, travel to take on the Mesa Thunderbirds and will cement their own berth in the national title game with a win. Other NJCAA games today see the 16th ranked Eastern Arizona College Gila Monsters on the road against the Phoenix Bears and the number 18 Glendale (AZ) Gauchos at the Pima Aztecs. I’ll have a complete breakdown on the NJCAA title game matchup and their Bowl participants within the next few days.
The NAIA, meanwhile, plays their last regular season games today and tomorrow will be Selection Sunday. Balladeer’s Blog will, as usual, take a look at the 2011 playoff teams as soon as the field is announced. And congratulations to the Maritime College Privateers for last night’s 21- 14 win over the Gallaudet Bison. Now here are links to updating scoreboards for the divisions of college football that I cover:
