Now that Hendrix won - they can go to St. Louis.  You can give Emory the bye and have Spalding go to LaGrange.  Fly CMS and Whitworth to Texas (unless Whitman gets in, for some reason - then you'd be screwed).

Or, if Centenary beats TX Lutheran, you can do a four team pod at Hendrix - WashU wouldn't like to travel, but that would make the brackets a little more fun.

St. Louis? Wash U men aren't going to be hosting.

And Hendrix can bus to East Texas Baptist, so they'll probably be there.

I just meant in the strange event you had two other three team geographic orphans.  I don't expect this to happen.  It's only an issue if Whitman gets in (and TX Lutheran loses), which is a long shot.

Hoops Fan As long as Trinity is in I won't complain where or who is higher or what not but if Amherst is higher I don't care SOS or any of that it would only be because of Amherst name. Trinity buried them on their own home court and went 9-1 in conference while Amherst went 6-4. Head to Head has to mean something especially when the road team wins by double figures. And then finishes 3 games ahead of them in league.

It does but when you only play 10 conference games, the vast majority of your schedule is non-conference and those games also do count. :)

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.

So then we've got a table with: Brooklyn (.786/.507), Plattsburgh (.704/.534), Catholic (.846/.506), Springfield (.704/.584), Elmhurst (.731/.551), John Carroll (.769/.527), Centre (.800/.512), and Whitman (.792/.519)

Behind them you've got Bethel (.704/.552 - plus a potential loss to St. Thomas today), North Central (.667/.588), Hope (.680/.558), Hardin-Simmons (.741/.531), F&M (.769/.517), Rutgers-Newark (.667/.572), NYU (.680/.544), and Bowdoin (.692/.571)

Possible stranglers: WPI (.808/.515), PSU-Behrend (.885/.469), Buena Vista (.720/.528)

Obviously, I don't know the ranking order, so they could get moved around.  I don't see anyone not on this list getting in though.

By the way, if you're asking me, I think the final five are: Springfield, Elmhurst, Bowdoin, North Central, and Catholic.

Good work, bopol.  Fun stuff to read through.

St. Louis? Wash U men aren't going to be hosting.

If they ended up with three teams at Emory and three in the NW , they'd make WashU travel.

More like the men are not going to host because the women will be hosting.

Bethel's three to tie at the buzzer rims out, so one bubble is still safe (although Bethel still has a way, way outside shot to get it).

Bethel will be on the board first in the West, I think. They're 3-0 vs. St. Olaf H2H this year.

Thanks guys.
Really happy for ETBU getting a chance to host.

Flights into ETBU include Shreveport LA and Longview TX airports.

KnightSlappy,

You're showing NYU ahead of Plattsburgh State in the East. They were 2nd last week, NYU was 5th. Plattsburgh's new vRRO could be 4-1 instead of 1-0 with yesterday's results and the next set of secret rankings. I don't see NYU getting to the table before Plattsburgh.  Plattsburgh may sit there through all 19 rounds but I think they'll be at the table and will get the only bid from the East if anyone gets one.

Updated Brackets:

Cheesehead Bracket (target Sweet 16 at St. Thomas or Stevens Points):

UWSP
DePauw
Calvin
Elmhurst

Emory
Spaudling
Lagrange
CMS

St Norbert
Concordia WI
Defiance
St Thomas

Augustana
Northwestern
Dubuque
St Olaf

Hot Dog Bracket (Target Sweet 16 at Whitewater or OWU):

UWW
*BYE
North Central
John Carroll

Interesting... Why would Whitewater get awarded with a bye in lieu of Augustana? And similarly with UWSP to host Sweet 16 over either UST or Augie?

Northwestern could easily go to Whitewater instead and award Augie for being tops in the region.

I did a mock regional ranking post.

http://tomaroonandgold.blogspot.com/2015/03/mock-final-regional-rankings.html

Still missing the one final championship game in my numbers on the site. Let me know what you think with suggestions/corrections. This should give us an idea of who's first to the table in each region. Some of the ordering I didn't spend too much time on, like the exact order of the top NESCAC at-large teams (they're going to get four teams in).

I'll be helping my cousin with her car for a bit, so I'll be silent for awhile. I'll update the final numbers when I can.

I'm most surprised by the Bethel over St. Olaf.  It makes sense, they did beat them three times, but that might jeopardize St. Olaf's chances, no?
