Pool C

as the guru's have pointed out  "Its results vs RRO's" not percentage, not wins, not losses. Results

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

HoopsFan Trinity's vRRO is 4-1 at 80% win total. Amherst is 5-3 at a 62% win total (Ill give you 63% we will round up). Not sure how you are saying Amherst is better there.

All I am saying is if Trinity doesn't get in and Amherst does its a total joke and only because of Amherst name.

I didn't say they were better there, but it's close - remember, those numbers will be different once the new rankings are done.  It's the SOS that's so different right now.

.574 to .534 - it'll change a little with Amherst's game today, but not a ton.

I had NYU at 4-3 and Hope 2-6. But I've been wrong before.

I was trying to look a little but wasn't sure if anyone knew my question from earlier. If Trinity does not get in are they the first NESCAC Regular Season Champ with 20 wins to not get in the NCAA Tourney?

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I'm kind of rethinking Catholic, too.  That SOS is pretty low.  They don't have a much better resume than WPI and I don't think WPI sniffs the table (unless Springfield and Bowdoin get in).

Plattsburgh St is the 1st team on the board in the East. It may take awhile, but their in, I think. I think NYU jumps Hobart and they're next in line. I know NYU's W% isn't great, but hard to iignore their vRRO and SOS. Those will probably better than most at the table at that time.

I don't see how Plattsburgh gets in.  Their SOS is in the .530s, but the winning percentage isn't great and their vRRO is just 1-0, likely.

TrinColl1....if I had a bet on the table...and I do not......your Bantams should get a bid.  Worry wrt where they will play

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

William Patterson
Stevens Point
WashU
Marietta
Ohio Wesleyan
Wooster
Hopkins
Trinity
Amherst
Bates
E Conn
VA Wesleyan
St. Olaf
IWU

Those are the only teams I can talk myself into as locks right now.

I had NYU at 4-3 and Hope 2-6. But I've been wrong before.

I have NYU down for wins against Wash U, Emory, Emory, and losses vs. Sage and Wash U. (1-1 vs. Case Western Reserve, but they fell out of the rankings last week and will not return this week).

[KnightSlappy]

I think John Carroll and Plattsburgh State will get to the table before Hope and NYU.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I think John Carroll and Plattsburgh State will get to the table before Hope and NYU.

Me, too - and I'm not sure either one gets in.

What about the Elmhurst/NCC problem?  Do you agree NCC has the better chance to get in?  The committee last week thought Elmhurst was better.

Catholic will have a seat at the table before WPI gets a chance, if it does.

I wrote down what the NCAA had. They probably didn't adjust those vRRO like they didn't adjust St. Thomas'  when Bethel entered the rankings.

Right, they'll be there, which is an advantage, but if WPI doesn't have the numbers to get ahead of Springfield and Bowdoin, I'm not positive Catholic's numbers will get them selected first.  That's all.  The low SOS could be trouble for them.  I think they're in (tough to leave out a team over .800 winning percentage with a .500+ SOS), but it will be near the end.
