ATN Podcast 425: Already a November to remember

Posted on by

November is already delivering history. Baldwin Wallace ended Mount Union’s 33-year playoff streak, Calvin completed a remarkable rise to the MIAA championship, and UW-Whitewater won a top-five WIAC showdown to claim its 40th conference championship.

Everything happens in Division III, as you may remember us saying. This week that includes a record 63-yard field goal, a 391-yard rushing performance, a 335-yard receiving day, and more pick-sixes this season than you can shake a stick at.

George Linberger and Boston Mulinix join the podcast in Fast Five after powering Baldwin Wallace’s clock-controlling ground game, while Logan Hansen runs 10,000 simulations to assess the top-eight seeds, at-large contenders and highest-leverage games. Patrick and Greg hand out game balls, highlight more top stories from each of Division III’s six regions, and go through each of those conference head-to-head matchups, all the way to predicting scores in The Final Countdown.

The mailbag isn’t all about Mount Union, but, sure, some of you have questions related to that. Also, how does NPI affect our Top 25 votes? Also, someone is on the run in the 1, someone’s pulling through in the 2, someone’s going for three in the 3, someone’s got a chore in the 4, someone’s in overdrive in the 5 and someone’s taking their licks in the 6.

Patrick and Greg cover it all in Around the Nation Podcast No. 425.
