South Region playoffs

[Bwana]

At 1209 Norton predicted...

South prediction:
JHU (8) at Thiel (2)
W&J (6) at BC (5)
UMHB (3) at Trinity (1)
Ferrum (7) at Wesley (4)

Norton-

What inside line of information do you have?  On the nose right down the line in the South!!!

Pat better but you on the payroll...

[Bill McCabe]

A 2 loss team received a bid in the east region.  That has really got to hurt HSU.  I'm biased, but the east is the weakest region by far.  Too bad HSU couldn't have been the 2 loss team to get a bid.

[Jeremybozz]

I am sorry. Wesley was listed on the bottom and got a 1st round game. W&J was listed below BC but will apparently hit the road.

Wesley is home

Bracket workes this way

1 vs 8 sic in the south
5 vs 4
3 vs 6
9 vs 2

In a perfect world where 500-mile rules do not exist I would hearily endorse your pairings...but since I doubt UMHB would be seeded 8th in the south, and given the NCAA and their travel machinations, I have a hunch that Norton's call may be closer to the mark.

[Toby Taff]

Looks like the TX boys got sharp end of the stick (due to travel regs...)

We get poked with that same stick every year.  Apparently they like to see the top part of the ASC play Trinity at Trinity.  Maybe the top of the ASC needs top schedule Trinity preseason for MHB to get a home game.

bwana I was trying to show how a bracket home and a way works. I know to well about the 500 mile and  money thing works
I agree that the Texas thing is not quite right  

[Bwana]

PA-wesley...

10-4, but I am curious to see just who got waht seed...

[Stephen1452]

Anyone think that playing christopher newport will help umhb get that home game?

[Ron Boerger]

If UMHB doesn't lose to HPU, they would have easily been the #1 seed this year and had the HFA at least until the semis. 

[Bill McCabe]

Ron, any idea on how the teams are seeded, oops I saw on ESPNews there are no seeds.  How do they determine home field?

[Ron Boerger]

Pat probably has much more insight than I do, but I think they are seeded.  Top of each bracket is (normally) your 1-8, bottom your 2-7, next your 3-6 and finally 4-5. 

[spliskin]

Which set of pairing will get matched up in the 2nd round?
IE: the Thiel/Hopkins winner will play the winner of which other set?

[Bob.Gregg]

My GUESS (and it's only that) in the South bracket is:

1.  Trinity
2.  Thiel
3.  Wesley
4.  UMHB
5.  Bridgewater
6.  W&J
7.  Ferrum
8.  Johns Hopkins


If UMHB & Wesley win, Posters say Pat said Wesley hosts Round two.
Thiel would host anyone they play in the region except Trinity.
Johns Hopkins can not get a home game.
Ferrum only gets a home game if they play Johns Hopkins in the Region Final.

[Bob.Gregg]

UMHB @ Trinity
Ferrum @ Wesley


W&J @ Bridgewater
Johns Hopkins @ Thiel


Winners meet in second round
