South Region playoffs

[Ron Boerger]

Two losses to non-ranked teams makes it pretty darned tough.  DePauw's two losses are to ranked teams and they prolly won't get in.

BfB, I agree about DePauw.  But one of HSU's losses is to UMHB.  And THEY ARE ranked.

Sorry, got confused with UMHB's loss.  Duh.

Here is my prediction and I'm sticking to it, LOL.

That lasted 3 hours

Llama, if the committee adds in Alfred like you mentioned in place of departed HSU, what do think about these pairings in the South?

1 Trinity hosts 3 UMHB
2 Thiel hosts 8 JHU
4 Wesley hosts 7 W&J
5 BC hosts 6 Ferrum.

[Llamaguy]

If HSU & DePauw don't get in, the question is does South Region #1 play #3 UMHB in round 1?

[mizzou_mafia]

Ah, didn't see your post until I posted!

[Llamaguy]

Guess that is what I get for assuming HSU takes care of business.

[badbadman]

It looks like the south now has exactly 8 likely playoff teams:

1.  Trinity
2.  Thiel
3.  MHB
4.  Wesley
5.  Bridgewater
6.  W&J
7.  Ferrum
8.  JHU

likey matchups:

MHB at Trinity
JHU at Thiel
Ferrum at Wesley
W&J at Bridgewater

Plenty of precedent, unfortunately.  So, again, UMHB gets screwed out of a home game.

[Bill McCabe]

What time are the selections tomorrow?

[mizzou_mafia]

Has anyone cranked out the updated QOWI to look over?

Selection show at 1pm Bill.  Posted on here probably at 1:30.

[Bill McCabe]

I know the veterams on Post Patterns always say that geography trumps everything else, but it is strange to see #1 play #3 and #5 play #6.  Still, I expect to be at Stevens Field next Saturday.

[Bill McCabe]

Mizzou, help me with my ignorance, eastern or central.

I still think a North team needs to move. Makes more sense to move Capital into the South and Wesley to the East. Guess we will see tomorrow.

Mizzou, help me with my ignorance, eastern or central.

The selection show is at 1:00 EST (12:00 CT) on ESPN News.

Worked out ok last year.
