George Fox favored by four in tight test at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps

Versus projects one of the closer scores on the board this week, with George Fox taking a 25-21 decision and a 58 percent win probability over Claremont-Mudd-Scripps. A four-point margin in a non-conference matchup like this one usually comes down to which offense finds its footing first, and neither team enters with an overwhelming edge there.

George Fox carries a B overall grade and sits 84th in D3 power rank, built on a B+ defense that ranks 73rd even though the offense grades out at B- and ranks 97th. The Bruins are 2-0 and have won back-to-back games for the first time since November 2025, a run that lines up with Versus rating them the No. 3 team in the Northwest Conference.

Claremont-Mudd-Scripps is also B overall but ranks lower in power at 113th, with a C+ offense ranked 132nd offset by a B defense at 93rd. The Stags are 1-0 and rated No. 2 in the Southern California Conference, with a strength of schedule ranked 195th in D3 against George Fox's own mark of 153rd. Neither team has faced a difficult slate yet, which leaves this non-conference meeting as one of the clearer early tests for both sides.
