[Bill McCabe]

I just cast my vote for Elliot.  Hope everyone else does the same.

Are regional rankings out yet???

[Bill McCabe]

I just checked the NCAA site and it was still last Novembers.

Pitt easy with the rankings they will come out.  Don't you have a job to do instead of being on here all day!!

Just one of the "Pro's" to being a student teacher!!!

Trying to take the bull by its horns!!!

Wouldn't plan on the DIII regional rankings coming out any time soon.

They still haven't updated the DII ones from last week or the BCS rankings.

Someone go wake that NCAA intern up! 

[Cleveland Cartel]

They are updated!!!

if both HSU and UMHB win out will UMHB get another pool C bid?

[Cleveland Cartel]

So if the playoffs started today these are the official rankings of who would vs who for the first round of the playoffs??

[Ralph Turner]

TX Cowboy, I think so.

In Pool B, it is looking good for Linfield and Thiel.

Look how far Salisbury, W&J and Wesley are down the South rankings and Whitworth in the West!  They are in danger of not making Pool B.

Huntingdon is off the radar screen!

I will run a Pool C list later!

Not exactly.. but it is a pretty good indicator of who would get seeded what.  There will likely be some teams shipped to other regions, and some teams will have to face each other in the first round because of geography, rather than seeding (Tex teams).

Yes, this is about the North Region on a South region playoff thread, but I find it interesting that Mount Union, if the seedings hold, could be faced with THREE road playoff games on the way to the Stagg Bowl.  That's something new for a team that usually only has to fire up the bus to drive to VA come Nov/Dec.

Ralph,

How is it Linfield and Thiel look good for the Pool B bids??? I am not doubting you I would just like to know how and why i guess??? lol

[gordonmann]

Cleveland:

I concur with Ralph on Pool B.  Of the six Pool B teams only 2 are ranked higher than eighth, Linfield and Thiel.   This is just a snapshot, but it doesn't look good for a fifth Pool B squad to make the playoffs.

Since Ralph contributes so much to these boards, here's my return gift to him (and you).

Pool C Contenders (15 total):

3s - Mary Hardin-Baylor (South)

4s - Union (East), Mount Union (North)

5s - Augustana (North), St. Olaf (West)

6s - Ithaca (East - Alfred is ranked higher now), John Carroll (North

7s - RPI (East)

8s - Saint John Fisher (East), Carthage (North), Concordia-Moorhead (West)

9s - Cortland State (East), Otterbein (North)

10s - Wilkes (East), Capital (North), Central (West)
