Which means one less bye to work with, or around.

I'm guessing that far west team won't get that undeserved bye.

If you build a tournament based on my rankings above, the only geographically isolated schools (500+ miles) are:

Puget Sound
the SCIAC winner, with CMS in the lead
Trinity, Texas-Dallas, and McMurry are isolated from every one else but not from each other.

This means that the NCAA committee can build a tournament with only two flights (UPS and CMS). The easiest way to do this would be to fly CMS down to San Antonio to make that a four-team pod and to fly UPS to one of the pods hosted by St. Thomas, UWSP, WashU, or Wheaton.

If UPS runs the table and finishes undefeated, they would be in line to host a pod, which could be done by creating a three-team pod by facing off a couple of the teams from the Chicago-Wisconsin area (Carroll, Elmhurst, North Central, St. Norbert, the NAthC representative) and then putting the winner on a flight to the west coast. This only uses one flight but does take up the bye spot for UPS.

The only other issue with geographical isolation is Buena Vista, who may end up being restricted to playing at St. Thomas as they are over 500 miles from most of the other potential hosts.

Some thoughts on this:

Horrible week for the UAA as Rochester, NYU, and Carnegie get upset, causing the first 2 to lose their Pool C spots; meanwhile Brandeis loses their real shot at a Pool A bid; they'll need to win at WashU and get some help (although winning all seven games in the second half should get them a Pool C bid at 19-6). WashU does roll into the #1 seed in the nation (with its strength of schedule overcoming the loss).

CCIW and WIAC are the only conferences in line for 2 Pool C bids, and Augustana isn't far out for a 3rd CCIW bid.

The statistical model shows Calvin as the "better" team while the NCAA prediction model shows Hope as the higher ranked team, so I pick Calvin to win the conference and Hope to compete favorably for Pool C.

On the Pool B side, just give the bid to Elms already. While they haven't mathematically clinched, they would just about have to lose their last 8 games to miss, and it's a safe bet that they won't do that. Susquehanna and Scranton are the only other B's on the chart, but it's tightened up in Pool B.

Not a huge deal...

But, Stevens Point's RPI, OWP and OOWP are all higher than Puget Sound's, yet ranked lower than Puget Sound.  I suppose the in-region record is really a big factor!!! lol :-)

Old School, can't you let Puget Sound get a crumb once and a while?  lol  :)

I was just thinking how do they pick the host sites for the first couple rounds.  What are the chances of Buena Vista being a host site?

For both geographic reasons and because of the cluster of powers in their general vicinity, I would guess it is much more likely that they will be guests of St. Thomas or a WIAC school.  (Or, if St. Thomas draws a bye, BV might host school X, then go to Minnesota.)

By the looks of things, the MidWest/West brackets are going to be crowded this year.

Thanks for the help.  I figured they might have to move up in the region to get a chance at hosting with the monsters that be in the West region.  I can't complain if their on the road cuz it will make one hell of a road trip not matter what just like last year.

Some thoughts on this:

Horrible week for the UAA as Rochester, NYU, and Carnegie get upset, causing the first 2 to lose their Pool C spots; meanwhile Brandeis loses their real shot at a Pool A bid; they'll need to win at WashU and get some help (although winning all seven games in the second half should get them a Pool C bid at 19-6). WashU does roll into the #1 seed in the nation (with its strength of schedule overcoming the loss).

CCIW and WIAC are the only conferences in line for 2 Pool C bids, and Augustana isn't far out for a 3rd CCIW bid.

The statistical model shows Calvin as the "better" team while the NCAA prediction model shows Hope as the higher ranked team, so I pick Calvin to win the conference and Hope to compete favorably for Pool C.

On the Pool B side, just give the bid to Elms already. While they haven't mathematically clinched, they would just about have to lose their last 8 games to miss, and it's a safe bet that they won't do that. Susquehanna and Scranton are the only other B's on the chart, but it's tightened up in Pool B.



Pardon my ignorance but as of today with :

is NYU in or no? i'm honestly not sure how to read the chart.

Right now, Pabegg has them as the 36th Pool C team,  there are 18 Pool C bids............so as of today no.

Lol, okay I will give that to you  :D.  UWSP has burned UPS enough.  I would have liked to see how far UPS would have made it if they were on the other side of the bracket from UWSP. 

We might end up with the same fate this year...I am willing to bet our two schools will be matched up in the sweet 16 again.   :)
