South Region playoffs

[CNU85]

Pat and the guys are pretty good at picking the matchups. they have CNU @ HSU.....I still say HSU is the runner up in a conference where we beat the conference champion...send HSU to our house!!!

and next year we take revenge on NCW!!! (I hope - cuz they are my next year's pre-season favorite to win the conf)

[Josh Bowerman]

Also, just FYI, HSU has only one overall in-region loss as the ASC runner-up, too.  The ASC champ has TWO in region losses.   

[CNU85]

I thought UMHB other loss was to UW-Whitewater? Are they in the south region?

[CNU85]

and to make my point even more...HSU/CNU common opponent is UMHB...CNU won, HSU lost......send them to our house!!

[Josh Bowerman]

I repeat:  you lost to North Carolina Wesleyan.  Say it with me three times, slowly, so that the profound impact of those words can sink in....   

Yes, Wisconsin Whitewater counts as an in-region game for UMHB.

[CNU85]

the words can't some out of my mouth....

and why does the UW-Whitewater game count as in-region fo UMHB?

[Josh Bowerman]

New scheduling criteria from the NCAA this season--you can read about it on the front page. 

[CNU85]

oops...I missed it....I'll go read it.

Thanks Josh!

Also - I realize the NCW game means we travel.....that's why I keep saying that my points are biased......but to tell you the truth.....the NCW loss was needed. We were rolling too easily and needed somone to tell us we can be beat....and I'm glad it wasn't Averett that beat us!

Josh,

I come up with 529 miles from Jackson to Belton.  Of course, if there's a way to move the two towns closer, NCAA will find it.

This is a good place for me to express my mea culpa for misloading the program on Jackson to Belton on mappoint.com "shortest possible route" from earlier in the season.  I know that I would have remembered that factoid!

I am glad that it works out that way!

[Bob.Gregg]

Wash & Lee to the East!!!

What's THAT do?  We'll see shortly.

Here's my new South Region rankings and how they'll matchup in first round:

1.  Wesley
2.  UMHB
3.  HSU
4.  CMU
5.  W&J
6.  CNU
7.  Millsaps
8.  Dickinson
9.  W&L

W&L @ Wesley
HSU @ UMHB ------------> 1 FLIGHT
Millsaps @ CMU
CNU @ W&J

Dickinson to the East.

I hope I'm wrong but just wanted to throw it out there incase the AA works their $ magic.  

Was I the only one who feared the worst? Again the NCAA snubs Texas and makes an easy route for Wesley to host the Texas/CNU/W&J winner. What can we say, its the penny pinching NCAA!

[Rikki_Tikki_Tavi]

Capts vs. W&J

[CNU85]

I'm happy witht the CNU draw.....but gotta admit.....it really sucks for UMHB and HSU. I just don't think that is right.

[Bill McCabe]

It's a shame that being in Texas has such an impact. 

[BDTartan]

No news on CMU yet?  It doesn't sound like we are going to see a first round matchup between the Tartans and the Prez.
