This is looking more and more to be the year of the upsets... I don't know if anyone has looked at the number of regular season champs who have been beaten in the conference tournament, but it seems like this year there are even more than usual.

Makes me cringe to see 4 upsets in the NE.

should we just pencil in Amherst and Williams in the sweet 16.

Centre wins the SCAC and is now rated 17.  What is the possibility of hosting the first round for this team?

16/41.  That's 39%.  That sure SEEMS a higher percentage than last year....

The UMAC and the Great South are not officially recognized conferences.

The Presidents AC is a Pool B contender moving to Pool A next year.
The NAthCon moves to Pool A in 2008-09.

I count 14 out of 37 or 38%.

Knowing the NCAA, I'm sure they'll try to make that happen and put them on opposite sides of the bracket...so they can meet in the Final Four! lol :D

I figured there were some  Pool B's or provisional conferences in the list.  Still though...

ILive4This

Just wondering how a team like NYU with a loss at home does not drop at all in the poll, and Lake Erie which i believe has a bye and hosts in the second round does not get onto the poll.

Pat Coleman

Lake Erie being granted a bye by the NCAA is really unrelated to a Top 25 vote, isn't it?

Again you are correct, otherwise UW-osh would be in the tournament as the d3hoops voters see them as the 8th best team in the country.

I wish that Oshkosh had beaten LaCrosse at least once so we would not have this much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

We are approaching unanimity on that point.
