South Region playoffs

[dballa]

So WHEN UMHB beats Trinity, they should get to host the 2nd round game correct?  And should they win that game and should Thiel lose one of their 1st or 2nd round games, UMHB would host a Quarterfinal game right?  Since they are seeded higher than any of those other teams left?

[Ron Boerger]

Given those assumptions, yes. 

[Bill McCabe]

Trinity would have the home field through the first three rounds, I think.  Whoever comes out of the South goes to Linfield.  Who hosts if Linfield is knocked off?

[religion_major]

The west is seeded higher so if the seeds are equal then the west cham hosts.  If say UMHB plays Oxy UMHB would host since they have a higher seed.

Might I add this quote in response to the comment about HSU hating UMHB so bad that they might have lost on purpose..."Your House or Our House, it doesn't matter!"  Remember last year, the CRU self-proclaimed themselves "The Road Dawgs"--all their games were on the road and they still took care of business!  that's exactly what has to happen this year, one game at a time, one step at a time...either home or away- it doesn't matter...you can be sure they will show up and play one tough game where ever they are!

GO CRU

Who were the pool C selections?

My hypothetical yesterday included nothing about Trinity winning, Bob.

Yes but you did mention a "sleeper" team in Wesley who would play on Wesley's fieldturf if they both won in the first round. Correct? I assume that with the seedings now posted that that game would be played in Texas.

[Bill McCabe]

I'm amazed that the east bracket is seeded 2nd, ahead of the north and the south.

Sorry, Pat.  Brain freeze.  If/when UMHB wins, THEY host Ferrum/Wesley winner.

CRU,

I was only kidding.  I am a BC alum, but we ALL know you guys got scrood (Pat, can I say it phonetically) again.

Don't wanna get you purple guys all stirred up, LOL.

Good luck.  Until you meet BC!

Congrats, BC.  You got the home game UMHB deserved.   

Your last couple DD and PP posts have been a bit on the frustrated/sarcastic side.

Look at it this way ... MHB has to travel all of two hours to San Antonio, to romp (at least Born-Power is picking the Crusaders by three TDs) the Tigers, then travel back home to host Wesley, then probably host Bridgewater or W&J.  And if they are the south region rep, they would have had to travel to Linfield (if they are the west region rep) anyway (regardless of seed).

So what's the big deal?

[pakownr97]

I'm amazed that the east bracket is seeded 2nd, ahead of the north and the south. 

I agree, Bill.  The East is definitely the weakest bracket.  It should be:

1.  West
2.  North
3.  South
4.  East

I don't see how anyone without bias could think otherwise.

Yup! The East is the only region with 4 unranked D3Football.com Top 25 teams. And if you follow Pat's note that it is based on the Top seed then the AFCA coaches poll has Delaware Valley at #9. Guess who is #6? Yes Trinity the number 1 seed in the South. Not to mention the number 2 seeds in both the South & North (UMHB & Mt. Union) are #7 and #8, respectively. Once again, the NCAA committee screwed it up.

[Ron Boerger]

Who were the pool C selections? 

7 C's
Wilkes (East)
Cortland State (East)
North Central (North)
Central (West)
Hobart (East)
Concordia-Moorhead (West)
Capital (North)

When BC gets screwed out of a first round home game almost every year, perhaps you will understand.  Of course, you'd have to be in the top half of the bracket most every year to begin with. 

Why should MHB fans constantly have to make a road trip, even a "short" one?   There are a lot of people who aren't able to waste six hours on the road to take in a game.
