Top 25 talk

[hplc2222]

I know, that is where the teams stand going into today's games.

From the list of those 34 teams, every team is playing today except 6 teams : Cabrini, WPI, Washington U, Wittenberg, NYU, and Staten Island.

By this time tomorrow morning the list could look a lot different.

Moving day games I think today.

The only teams on the 34 team list playing tomorrow are NYU and Washingto U, and they play each other

[hplc2222]

Colorado college ranked 25 also has 3 losses now, they lost last night.

[hplc2222]

Of the 34 teams currently with no more than 2 losses, 20 of them are in the Top 25 and and 27 total recieved votes last vote (top 45)

[hplc2222]

The 7 teams with no more than 2 losses that recieved votes last vote, but not inside the Top 25 are:

All these teams play today except NYU that plays tomorrow

These are the teams that need to win today (or tomorrow for NYU), to stay in the fight for Monday's vote

Brockport State 10-1----- #28*
Texas Dallas 11-1--------- #35*
Dickinson 12-2------------ #33*
Richard Stockton 12-2- ---#36*
NYU 11-2--------------------#37
St Vincent 13-2---------- - #42*
Dubuque 14-0-------------- #40*

If number 21 Wheaton Ill loses to number 4 Illinois Wesleyan today, to drop to 10-6, I think despite playing a hard sc deule, they would have to drop out of the Top 25.

Going into today's games there are 161 teams in the Nation with no mo0re than 5 losses. Hrd to believe the voters couldnt come up with 25 better teams out of those 161 teams

as of this morning here is how it sits (I put up the no more than 2 loss teams (34) on the previous page

0 loss - 5
1 loss - 10
2 loss - 19

3 loss - 29
4 loss - 40
5 loss - 58
(that is 161 teams)

6 loss  - 42 teams

depauw 11-3 #31, has a halftime lead at home against Ohio Wesleyan 11-3 #22. not sure who I should be rooting for in this one.

[hplc2222]

I was trying to think about how many years it would take to have all 416 D3 schools get a Final 4 appearance.

I guess 3200 years. lol

There have been 39 Final 4's I guess it started in 1975.

If each year 4 different teams got in,  that would be 156 teams in 156 slots

I wonder how many teams since the start of the 1974/1975 season have actualy made the Final 4

That link only gives the final game, not the Final 4 - 4 teams

Richard Stockton's up eary 19-10 at Ramapo with 10:56  left in the first half

[hplc2222]

Richard Stockton has a 45-22 lead at halftime at ramapo. Stocktons defense is doing it this afternoon. Ramapo has not scored less than 60 points in a game all season.

Here are Ramapo's point totals for the season

83 L, 78 L, 69 L, 84 W, 78 W, 93 W, 86 W, 92 L, 67 L, 72 L, 71 W, 69 L, 61 L, 78 W, 99 W  (7-8 record)

Richard Stockton's defense is incedible to hold Ramapo at Ramapo  to just 22 points in the first half

never heard of the iron bowl, lol, have no idea what that is,

never heard of the iron bowl, lol, have no idea what that is,

Alabama vs Auburn football is referred to as the Iron Bowl because it was played annually in Birmingham, AL until the late 80's.

Birmingham was the south's leading producer of iron through much of the 20th century and Legion Field where the game was played was almost entirely an iron and steel structure.

[hplc2222]

Richard Stockton just won at Ramapo 90-69, to go to 13-2. The game was not even that close, Stockton put the bench in when they got a 30 point lead.
