South Region playoffs

[Bill McCabe]

I agree with you Mizzou.  If the high schools can't agree on a site, they flip a coin.  I just wish we had some idea of how the teams are seeded.  Doesn't make much sense with the emphasis on regional rankings.  I do understand that geography trumps everything else, but that doesn't appear to be as important after the first round.  Or is it?

Bwana, Bridgewater could have used another in-region game playing a team with at least a .500 record.

A road win over a .500 team would have given you 13 pts, or raised your QOWI to 10.778. a road win over a .667 team would have given you 15 QOWI pts and raised the QOWI to 11.000 and a9-0 in-region record.

Ralph-

Again, thank you the explanation..it illustrates just how tight the playoff calculations are!

In the end, I guess HSU got UMHB...when they lost, they lost not only their playoff bid but a first round home game for UMHB as well.

TTU,

I totally agree.  Maybe they lost on purpose because they hate UMHB so much, LOL!!


I know I'm being stupid, but I do it so well.

Well, from BC one old timer to another, and to quote Lamar Neal, "Always play to your Strengths!"

By the way good job Pat on the show on Sunday!!!

Glad DIII football was getting some spotlight!!!

[narch]

looking at those seeds, i had a thought - maybe, when the ncaa finally adopts a d1a playoff of some sort, they'll take some of the BILLIONS of $$$ it would generate and spend it on a few plane tickets for the d3 playoffs...ah, who am i kidding, there will never be a d1a playoff, and if there is, the ncaa will NEVER spend that money on the d3 playoffs...sorry to interrupt

Now we have the seedings... at least now we can figure out who might play whom and where!

[Pat Coleman]

Thanks, guys -- I enjoyed the experience and yes, it would've been great to get more time, but to be realistic, we were lucky to get the time we had. The 17 minutes we were on-air (which excludes commercials) was the most they have given D-III football so far in three years. We were even 45 seconds over budget.

I'll blog about the experience later at some point. Still getting the to-do list lightened up.

[Jeremybozz]

So the BC/W&J winner will play the Thiel/JHU winner right? I do not think they re-seed the teams after the 1st round.

[pakownr97]

That's right, Jeremy.  But I still don't understand why BC would play at Thiel while the higher seeded Wesley draws Trinity.  All of this assumes the home team (higher seed) wins the first round.

Seems to me it should be BC playing at Trinity and Wesly at Thiel in the second, of course, assuming the same thing.

But I'm happy.



Go BC!

Here's to a well officiated first round!

The brackets are set.  They are not RE-SET after the first round.

The seedings are set, then matchups moved to accomodate Geographic Proximity.

After the first round games, the seedings determine home sites.

Despite what we may have heard yesterday, if UMHB wins, they host in Round 2 the Ferrum/Wesley winner. (correction from a brain freeze, soory Pat)

[Pat Coleman]

My hypothetical yesterday included nothing about Trinity winning, Bob.
