Ralph,  At this point in the season, who would you give the #1 seed?

rm - i know ferrum is undefeated, but even IF they win out, i don't see salisbury being seeded below fc - if the gulls win out they will have beaten wesley (currently 7-1), widener (currently 5-2), and frostburg (currently 4-3) in addition to methodist (currently 5-2) and cnu (currently 4-3) - ferrum doesn't have the same number of quality wins - i think ferrum is a 6 seed, at best, if they win out - i agree that if mc or cnu win the usasac aq, they'll be an 8 seed - the way the ncaa does things, though, your match-ups could be spot on, despite the seedings being off

Narch,
Would you then just flip the home team for a Ferrum/UMHB game or send the #8 seed to Texas?  Either way, one team is going to have to fly.  The main question is whether a Texas team flies North or a low seed flies to Texas.

R_M.... IF TU wins out (and I'm a TU guy) .... do you really think that TU will be #1 seed in the South????  It seems to me that we need to see the regional rankings b/4 we pronounce TU #1....  or do you know something I don't?

That may also depend on the fate of W&J.  If W&J wins the fourth pool B slot it becomes a toss up between Thiel and Trinity.  Not that it is listed in the criteria but I don't see the NCAA giving the #1 seed to a team that has not made the playoffs since expansion when a perenial playoff team that the committee members may just feel more comforitable with.  I really think that of the undefeated teams in the South region only Thiel and Trinity would have the SOS and/or win over a playoff team to get a #1 seed.

Salisbury may have a win against a playoff team (CNU/Meth)

Trinity will not

rm - i'd put the monarchs in as the 8 seed and i don't care where they play :)

Narch,
I would say that Methodist or CNU would be an 8 seed if either of them were to make it to the dance.

Here is a refresher on what the criteria is:

Primary Criteria (not in priority order)

Win-loss percentage against regional opponents
Quality-of-wins index- only contests versus regional competition
In-region head-to-head competition
In-region results vs. common regional opponents
In-region results vs. regionally ranked teams(ranked at the time of the ranking/selection process)
Conference postseason contest(s) is included

Secondary Criteria

Out-of region head-to-head competition
Overall Division III won-loss percentage
Results vs. common non-DIII opponents
Results vs. Division III teams ranked in other regions
Overall win-loss percentage
Results vs. common out-of-region opponents
Overall Division III strength of schedule


Now in my eyes, Trinity = #1

rm - i agree on cnu (and probably mc, too), and i admit you bc fans have MUCH more experience than i do, but IF mc wins out, fc loses to cnu, mc wins the coin flip to get the aq and ssu wins out (did you follow all of those ifs :)), the monarchs 2 losses will be to 9-1 teams - additionally, the monarch opponents to date have a 24-23 record (vs. bc's opp record of 15-28)...nah, it's all a dream - IF the monarchs get in they're an 8 seed...nevermind  ;)

History Major, I think that TU is a comfortable  #2 seed now, and quite accurately, the Top seed in the "Texas" sub-bracket.  I think that Thiel has the inside track on the #1.  They will have a win against another playoff team, W&J.

And should Huntingdon get in (they need a little help, but not that much), so would Trinity.

I'm not sure W & J is in...yet.

If not, Thiel does NOT have a win against a playoff team, either.

GO BC!
