Pool C

[Ralph Turner]

As a result of the Rochester win over Case today combined with Emory's loss to Carnegie Mellon, Rochester has clinched the UAA Men's Title and the automatic bid to the NCAAs.

Emory will need a Pool C bid to make it to the NCAAs.

Okay Pool C fans, everyone needs to root for Rochester to beat Emory next week in Atlanta.

I don't know if Emory will get a Pool C even if they beat Rochester next Saturday.

True, that win would make Emory 2-2 vs regionally ranked opponents.

Emory's SOS probably did not get a massive boost from their .441 this week, even with the 1.4 multiplier.

Playing Rochester at home next week means that Emory will not get the benefit of the 1.4 road multiplier boost-- Emory has to take a 0.6 multiplier handicap for the home game.

The best that Emory can hope for in-region will be 19-5 (.792)-- I'm not sure that regional percentage will be high enough given a weak SOS.

We will just have to wait until Wednesday's rankings to see how far Emory drops in the South Region-- the Eagles will take a hit for losing at Carnegie Mellon today.

But yeah, if Rochester wins next Saturday, the UAA will be a 1 bid league-- no doubt about it.

Ummmm...OK.

Yes, to push Emory deeper into the South Region Regional Rankings.

I appreciate deis' assessment, but I want Emory proverbially buried in the South Region rankings.

For us Pool C fans,

1)  If we have no chance of a Pool C bid, then win your tourney.
2)  To improve your Pool C chances root for the "higher/stronger team" to inflict losses on the teams that are behind it.
3)  If your team drops from favored Pool A status, kinds like the Pole Position in Auto Racing, then you hope that no conference favorites lose.

[Ralph Turner]

(Provisional) Birmingham-Southern beat Centre, 67-63.

BSC is not eligible for the SCAC post-season tourney, so they did everyone a favor.

If we can get Centre knocked out of the regional rankings, then maybe another ASC team might creep into the rankings next Wednesday.

Only UTD has a chance at a Pool C, and I think that they  need to go 2-1 in the ASC Tourney to do that.

KnightSlappy - I wouldn't put anyone in the Atlantic on any type of "lock" for the NCAA tourney... including Ramapo.

Where do you think Ramapo would come up short?

New DIII bracketology projection tonight: http://tomaroonandgold.blogspot.com/p/d3-bracketology.html

The committee will have their hands full, a lot of tough decisions to be made (Ramapo would not have been one of them, however) and so the last four in as of tonight can't afford any upsets in conference tournaments.

[Ralph Turner]

I do like the "once ranked, always ranked" feature.

It adds a few teams that are on the cusp of Pool C so you can get a good view of the teams on the edge of consideration.

In the South Region, we have had the same 7 teams ranked in each ranking, but the other 3 teams have provided some extra info, especially in the ASC.

[Greek Tragedy]

Just curious who has hosting rights this year in the first round.  I know it rotates each year.  Is  it the men?  Then the women would have hosting rights the 2nd weekend.  Or is it the women 1st round this year?

Edit:  women have rights for the 1st round this year.

[7express]

Sorry for the stupid question, but how does hosting work??

I know both the men and women can't host during the same weekend, so either the Amherst men or women will hit the road the first weekend.  If your hosting an ECAC game for the women;s game, could you host an NCAA game for the men's team or vice versa??

Home for the holidays.

Rust is 53rd (out of 53) in the south region SOS. Maryville is 4th, but 0-4 against in region ranked teams and at 10-7, are 19th in region W-L.
