When did the current DIII playoff format start? RMC won their 11th ODAC title but this is only their 4th playoff appearance.

  We, personally, will never forget a certain banked in trey by Ms. Jennifer O'Briant to keep the Jackets alive for an OT win v. Roanoke a couple years back.
Did she call it? ;) ;D

It's such a quiet board this season.  Looks like those 2 Jackets ^ are back in action, thank goodness.  They have a tall order before them today in Crenshaw.

Good luck to all around the ODAC today.

GO JACKETS!!!
Quiet indeed- seems a lot of regular contributor's daughters from years past have graduated, IMHO. I have considered asking you all how to recruit some new fans- maybe posting a link on the Facebook page of each team that has one?

Too bad they can't trade a couple of small forwards for one 6'2" rebounding , active, defensive minded center.  I know  I would be reallly looking for that in next years recruits. 

Sure hope this is on the recruiting radar for 2014-15.  Current center Sr. Lindsay Sharman had one of her best nights ever with a double double last night.  Congrats to her!

Pretty sure that's on EVERY recruiting radar every year :D

What a difference a year makes for the Jackets. Tuesday against Mary Washington will be interesting as UMW beat Cortland State who had walloped VWC the day before. VWC did turn around and beat Penn-State Altoona by a ton -- an even bigger margin that UMW had over Altoona. Always dangerous to use those comparative scores to try to figure out what will happen in another game, so I won't do that.
I think you just did ;)

Guilford would seem to have the stronger position for end of year regional ranking.

Admins, when will the NCAA begin posting regional rankings?

Guilford has a "U".  :)

Thanks!

Guilford would seem to have the stronger position for end of year regional ranking.  If they finish the year with no more ODAC losses but are upset in the tournament, they would have the best chance for an at-large in the NCAA, then?????

I'm not going to pretend I understand any of it, but over at Masseyratings.com Guilford (with a U ;D) is rated 97th with a strength of schedule of 267th, EMU 101st with SOS 187. It's a one bid league IMHO

Having fewer out-of-conference games kind of dooms the ODAC to mediocrity. Teams won't get significantly better playing that much of an inbred schedule.
While I get wjmofva's point on a home and home schedule, that's 22 of 25 games now- Pat is right on. I am extremely pleased Bridgewater got some higher caliber teams on the schedule this year (Messiah, then ranked 8th now 5th, Catholic now 13th, perennial powers Marymount and Mary Washington)- it will help them the rest of the way.

Is it just me...I'm having a hard tiime in the ODAC new website.
Working OK for me- this is the website that's bothering me. Works OK, just the lack of chatter- we're three weeks in, have had some great games yet very little participation. ???
Congrats to Randolph on a big win over RMC.
Me? heading to Puerto Rico in a week to cheer on the Eagles- somebody's gotta do it ;D

The Generals really getting respect for the last few years.  I cannot believe that they were picked 12th.  Sure they have a lot of freshmen but they have 3 solid seniors.  They will certainly be rebuilding this year.  Probably will not beat RMC 3 times like last year :).

What's your top 12?
W&L has always impressed me with how smart they play, but new coach, presumably new system, lots of new players doesn't hold much promise to me.

Hoping everyone had a great Summer. Anyone posted a schedule yet? Bridgewater's men's went up last week, with school starting it won't be long. Invite a fellow fan, let's get the chatter going early and often!

Congratulations to this year's winners:
ODAC Player of the Year: Gabby Oglesby, So., Forward, Guilford
ODAC Coach of the Year: Stephany Dunmyer, Virginia Wesleyan
ODAC Rookie of the Year: Sarah Seipp, Fr., Guard, Virginia Wesleyan
ODAC/Farm Bureau Insurance Scholar-Athlete: Becca Bolton, Sr., Forward, Washington and Lee

And all of the rest of the All Conference selections!
Looking forward to a great Tournament! Good luck to all, but especially my Hornets at 1:00 today!

I second congrats to all- well deserved.
A little surprised to not see Greene on the first team, but I don't have an issue with any of the ladies ahead of her.

Without looking up the tiebreakers I think it will be Roanoke and Lynchburg- RC by virtue of sweeping Hollins and LC by better quality wins against higher finishing teams.
#14
BIG day today-

Who will be first- EMU or VWC?
Who will be fourth- BC or RMC?
Can Guilford stay back on track against Lynchburg?
Can Roanoke complete the sweep of Hollins and get back in the tournament hunt?

EMU has a nice team but their out of conference schedule will hurt them.  They have not played a ranked team that I am aware of.  Overall, the best out of conference win for the ODAC would be the Generals beating #4 CNU at CNU.  To get at large bids, the strength of schedule must improve and a few NCAA wins would really help the ODAC.  Just win the ODAC tournament and you get a bid.

This list has EMU at number 99 in the nation, actually a few spots below VWC. I don't see one of the 20 at large bids coming either.

I would also like to see the ODAC teams build on strength of schedule by playing stronger out of conference teams. Travel budgets will dictate to a large degree how much better we can get as a group, as there are only so many higher quality opponents within day-trip driving distance. Plus, with an 11 team conference (soon to be 12 with Shenandoah), your opportunities within a 25 game schedule are small.
BC led at the half and hung around with Johns Hopkins, no. 4 in the mid-atlantic, very early in the year. I firmly believe we (all the ODAC) have the quality play to compete, but getting it noticed is the challenge.
