My understanding of the rule is that if officials see lightening, the game must be suspended until there is a 30 minute period with no lightning. Each time more lightning is spotted, the 30 minute clock starts over. So you can see how it could get to be a very long night if that storm is slow moving.

If you look at common opponents I don't think they belong in the discussion.
Beat FSHP by 8. Thompson beat FSHP by 28.
Beat KC by 12. NSGU beat KC by 46.
steel wrote:It sounded like they very easily could have beat Thompson but we're also very fortunate to have won the games against mayville and hankinson, so they could easily have 3 losses also. I think the West is new Salem's to lose, but the east has plenty of teams capable of coming out of the bracket.

I would probably take NSGU over any individual team in the east before the playoffs start. I think an east team will win it, but the east has multiple teams (Thompson, NRS, Napoleon, and Richland) that could win it all, and only one can get to the big game.
I think last years W/L team would win again vs this years teams. But I don't think it would be a slam dunk vs all of top teams.

Agree with all of this, but I think NGSU wins it all. I think Thompson is the east favorite, but will have tough games vs NRS and NGS.

I agree with this. I think NSGU will walk through the west, I don't know much about region 6, but I don't see anything to make me think that NSGU will be challenged. I think this is the year the west gets it done in the dome as well. I don't know anything about the east, I was just very impressed watching New Salem/Glen Ullin.
