Enough with all this "where will whitewater land" questioning. Another important question (I think) that is not being asked is what region does the winner of the UWO vs UWP game go to? And more importantly what seed do you expect them to get. Do they stay in the same region as UWW as a 2 or 3 seed? Or do they put them in the other region? And to add even more food for thought what do you think the best scenario is for both of our beloved WIAC teams (UWW and UWP/UWO) to make a strong and deep run into the playoffs?

I can tell you one thing though, if 2 WIAC teams get into the playoffs I can almost guarantee that they will be in the same region. Setting up what would be one hell of a quarterfinal/sweet 16 playoff game...

Thats not to say however that I think UWP will beat WW, my prediction for the remainder of the season is that UWP losses a close game to UWW and the final game of the season between UWO and UWP determines who gets in last. This assumes that all 3 teams WW, UWO, and UWP don't lose of course :)

In the event of a 3 way tie all 3 teams will be named as co champs (assuming WW UWO and UWP)...The automatic bid for the playoffs would however go to UWO, due to how the conference rules are laid out (unless I'm reading them wrong)...As far as the chances of all 3 teams getting into the playoffs however I think is slim, as said before I think there are just too many "good" teams to justify sending 3 teams from one conference... With that being said I think (in the event of a 3 way tie) UWP would be the team to make it in over UWW due to the fact that in order for a 3 way tie to happen UWP would have to beat UWW and I dont think the NCAA committee could justify sending WW over UWP because of the head to head matchup... These are just my thoughts though :)

Conference Tie Breaker Rule and Link Below:

VI. CONFERENCE CHAMPION/AWARDS

A. Conference Champion/NCAA Automatic Qualifier

  In the sport of football, the conference champion and automatic qualifier into the NCAA playoffs shall be
decided on a percentage basis.  If two or more teams are tied for the conference championship, they shall
be considered co-champions and the following tie-breaker criteria shall be used to determine the
conference's automatic qualifier into the NCAA playoffs.  A championship award (plaque or trophy) will
be awarded to the championship team(s).  Each member of the championship team will receive a
certificate.

1.   Head-to-head results between all tied teams.*

2. Tied teams are to be eliminated in reverse order of their last playoff appearance beginning with the
1991 season.

3. Random selection by the commissioner.

*If two (2) teams remain after a third or more teams are eliminated, the tie-breaker reverts back to
criteria #1.
