The NCAA uses Mappoint, not Mapquest, and uses the shortest possible distance setting, as always.

Apparently NOT

Bill McCabe · November 12, 2006, 02:43:20 PM

Bob.Gregg, I'm not sure what they use. Why not match up CMU and W&J in the first round. That's only a few miles apart.

Bob.Gregg · November 12, 2006, 02:46:06 PM

Why not?

Only a few miles. Lower, MUCH lower expenses.

Larger, SIGNIFICANTLY larger income.

Maybe it's not all about the money...

I think they confused CNU & CMU....

Hey, they used the wrong map, maybe they grabbed the wrong initial...

Unfortunately that was one prediction I was HOPING to be wrong on!

My first round upset in the South Region (the visiting team winning) is Millsaps!

BDTartan · November 12, 2006, 02:51:42 PM

Oh well, where is Millsaps located? Don't know much about them. How much of a chance does CMU have of giving them a game?

Ralph Turner · November 12, 2006, 02:53:19 PM

And talking about missed classtime!!!

Why isn't W&J driving from the Pittsburgh suburbs vs driving across 3 states from western Pennsylvania, across Maryland, to eastern Viriginia?

Millsaps is located in Jackson, MS and has about 1100 students. They run the spread on offense and can be deadly with it and the defense is base, but has the advantage of a former DI coach behind it in Mike Dubose (former coach of Alabama).

Ralph Turner · November 12, 2006, 02:56:57 PM

Millsaps is in Jackson MS and is a US News and World Report Top Liberal Arts College.

They are 7-3 but have a 7 game win streak.

They are my #7 seed (but probably #6 by the committee) to CMU #5 seed.

Ralph....depending on the route taken...they might actually have to cross into West Virginia for a few miles!!

Bill McCabe · November 12, 2006, 02:58:20 PM

Congratulations to all of the teams that are headed to the playoffs. Good luck and enjoy the next few weeks. They will be something you remember for a lifetime.

Good!!!! Four states!!!

Now, here's my first dilemma of the day:

I'm a Mapquest kinda guy.

I've been chastized strongly for failing to use the NCAA Official mapping/distance software.

The NCAA didn't use it themselves.

Now, I've got to get to Newport News. What to do? What to do?
