South Region playoffs

[Llamaguy]

Ron, what is your take for the Texas sub-bracket today?  Trinity -Millsaps sounds like a great game.

If Trinity loses I'm not certain they get a Pool C with two regional losses. More explaination on the Pool C board once I get the specifics posted later this evening.

I agree, Llama, unless many of the one-loss teams stumble next weekend.  Two teams from the SCAC seems very unlikely even so.  Trinity doesn't have a quality win (vs. regionally ranked opposition) to their credit.

PAWesley, what you are saying probably wouldn't have bothered me all that much considering back in 95' our high school team went 10-0 beating the best team in the league and still didn't make the playoffs because they only took four teams from each region at the time.

And you guys can do your best, your not going to bait me into saying anything stupid anymore.  CMU or no CMU I'm here to learn and talk D3 football.  If most of my posts involve CMU then so be it.

Not trying to bait you at all BD. A few years back there were I believe 7 maybe 8 undefeated teams in the south and they all didn't make it.  And  if you had read some of my other posts you would have seen that I have said all along that an undefeated  team whoever it is deserves a spot.

South Regional rankings shouldn't see much movement:

Top 8 all won, along with #10.  #9 lost to #8.

1.  Wesley, now 9-0
2.  Trinity, now 8-1
3.  UMHB, now 7-2
4.  HSU, now 7-1
5.  CMU, now 9-0
6.  Dickinson, now 8-1
7.  W&J, now 8-1
8.  CNU, now 7-2
10.  W&L, now 7-2

9.  Averett, now 6-3.

STILL one team too many.  What to do?  Oh, what to do?

PAWesley, I didn't say you were baiting me.  I was just saying that I'm done talking non-sense because it gets me nowhere.  And I knew what you were getting at and I have read your previous posts.  I was just saying that where I am from, our high school teams are used to getting snubbed come playoff time.

Yeah my guess is that Averett drops out, and either Bridgewater or Millsaps moves in at #10 this week.

I can see 9 south Region teams making the playoffs.

Llamaguy, how do you see the South Region bracket?

Sorry it took so long Bill. I had to figure out the senarios for the rest of the country before I could figure out the South.

Here goes:

Seeds in red.

Wesley #1                 hosts         W&L #8

Trinity #2                   hosts        UMHB #3

Carnegie Mellon #4      hosts         W&J #6

Dickinson #5               hosts        CNU #7

Hardin-Simmons is shipped to the West bracket for a fly-in or could host a fly-in

If Millsaps beats Trinity I still see them playing UMHB also except they would have to fly there as they would anywhere. The seeds would change in that case but wouldn't affect pairings.

Llamaguy,  you really think they will break up the Texas sub bracket?  If they should keep HSU, who do you see being sent elsewhere?  Thanks for the information.  It will be fun next Sunday to see how the NCAA places the teams.

Not sure? The problem is the East can fill their bracket on their own, the North fills itself out as well. The West is where teams are needed.

[Bill McCabe]

Llamaguy, just curious, but why would you ship out HSU?

 I was thinking that the committee would leave W&L with a closer game and send Dickinson or CMU to Wesley. But you think they will seat according to actually ranking after whateve becomes of thew Tex, bracket. I guess other than a plane ride, a bus rise is a bus ride be it 250 miles or 150 ?

[Bill McCabe]

Llamaguy, should Trinity lose this weekend, could they receive a Pool C?  What would that do to the South bracket?

[Llamaguy]

They would be the lowest Texas seed. I guess potentially if Trinity loses Millsaps, Millsaps could be shipped but that would leave an all ASC first round game.
