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.

That's pure RPI, no adjustments made for anything else. See my post above with my "real" thoughts on the rankings.

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?

Yeah, and you could argue Whitman on top of those two as well. Or really any ordering of those three. There's certainly a debate there. Bethel's RvRRO sets them apart.

William Patterson
Stevens Point
WashU
Marietta
Ohio Wesleyan
Wooster
Hopkins
Trinity
Amherst
Bates
E Conn
VA Wesleyan
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 Bethel (.679/.564)

Behind them you've got St. Olaf (.808/.527), 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), Whitman (.792/.519), 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, Bethel, and St. Olaf.

When I get home I'll make my predictions, but considering how awful I was the last 3 years, you may want to pick the opposite of what I do.

So now they can fly Whitworth to E Texas Baptist (with TX Lutheran and Hendrix) and they can fly CMS to Emory (along with Spalding and LaGrange).  Truly deserving teams can get the byes.

Mr. Ypsi

KS and HF, I think you guys have got it wrong about the West.  True, Bethel went 3-0 against St. Olaf, but St. Olaf didn't lose to Hamline, Carleton, or Concordia-Moorhead!  I suspect the committee will discount somewhat the Bethel/Olaf results as just some sort of a match-up problem, unique to that situation.  With Bethel having FOUR more losses than Olaf, I just can't see them going ahead of them despite the H-to-H (after all, Bethel was already 2-0 against them with the last published rankings, yet Olaf was #2, Bethel #7).

Mr. Ypsi

Q, looks pretty good to me, though I think NCC's SOS may get them in about round 18 or 19.

magicman makes a case that the secret final rankings may include both Oswego St. and Keene St., which would raise his Plattsburgh vRRO to 4-1.  If he's right, would that change your picks?

1. (GL) Marietta (.893/.519/4-3)

Yes, if Plattsburgh State has a 4-1 in RRO, I'd have them in.

Yeah, but it's only two wins difference.  Plus the vRRO difference, plus the head to head, plus the SOS difference.  I'm not saying it has to be that way, but it would be very hard for the committee to say St. Olaf is better by the numbers.

I'm not sure you have the regional rankings right.  I don't think Trinity will remain above Amherst.  I have all those teams in, besides WPI and Catholic, so overall, there's not much to quibble with (although I don't think WPI will get to the table before Bowdoin, so that could be problematic).

A few years ago (ok, awhile ago), I think La Crosse had beaten Oshkosh 3 times but Oshkosh was ranked ahead of them. The committee couldn't decide which one to take, so neither went.

I would be surprised if Stockton wasn't hosting the opening round.  They have been ranked as the top Atlantic team every week and they did win both the regular season and conference tournament.  They have strong stats in each criteria and a good recent history (sweet 16).  Stockton can host many teams from several regions from  their geographical home, IMO!!

Go Ospreys!!
