Does anyone see the Centennial having two teams in this year's playoff? Thoughts? I believe that if both teams can at least win one game, it would help with the perception in the upcoming year's.

Unlikely. Only Muhlenberg stands a chance at getting a C and they won't have a quality win. They spent their one OOC beating up on Wilkes (2-6). I doubt Ursinus gets RR, especially if they lose to Muhlenberg. So the Muhles would be 0-1 RRO, with an SOS under .500.  Not going to get it done on the table.

Do they even get to the table? The South is a little short on C candidates right now. Assuming Wesley gets a B, that leaves either TLU, Centre or the MASCAC champ getting the other B. I think it goes to an undefeated Centre, but their schedule is not good. I'd assume a one loss TLU gets to the table before Muhlenberg, TLU will have a better SOS, and I definitely think an undefeated Centre hits the table first. Who else? Maybe the ODAC runner-up. E&H could be a one loss ODAC team, loss to H-SC, win over Maryville. They will also have a terrible SOS however.

That leaves TMC. Two losses to RRO, and also a poor SOS. But... the extra RRO game probably pushes them up. Other than an undefeated Centre, or maybe a one loss TLU, I don't see a South team getting off the board in comparison to the North and West teams. So whoever hits the table first is most likely the only South team with a chance, and I just don't see Muhlenberg in that role.

You are right JK, poor scheduling is going to doom them, I know they played Wilkes back in 09 and loss, but that wasn't a very good year for the Mules, but scheduling a team like Apprentice (no pun intended) has hurt their perception especially after losing to Delaware Valley a couple times, they may have wanted to dial it down, but you only help yourself by playing better teams, when situations like this occur, so the may be on the outside looking in.
