Pool C

 Landmark current conference leader is Scranton, not Susquehanna, by virtue of its win in head-to-head.

As always, that list is compiled in the manner it says at the top: "based on knightslappy's numbers."

And since every conference (save the UAA) hands out its Pool A berth via a conference tournament, I'm not worried about actual league tiebreakers. I use RPI to break the tie and quickly move along. I'll lock teams in if/when they clinch a berth.

I understand and you even point out that your ranking doesn't include head-to-head considerations; just didn't want anyone to think that Scranton was one of those "bid thieves", at least at this point.

So. About what time will the regional rankings appear today? I'm curious how CSAC teams will fair.

I would guess mid-afternoon.

Knightslappy has Neumann and Cabrini 1 and 2 in the Atlantic. That region, SoS-wise is really bad though. I'm thinking 1 Pool C bid comes out of there at this moment.

Regional Rankings should be posted very soon. Just waiting for Turner to do their job.

Could Ramapo even get ranked in the Central Region?

[KnightSlappy]

Let me know if you notice any SOS errors in my numbers of more than, say, .003 or so.

So far the one's I've checked are all in line.

Archived SOS values are here if you're interested in looking: http://detroitjockcity.com/2017/02/06/college-basketball-division-iii-regional-ranking-data-strength-schedule-week-1/

Of course. The Central shows you can get ranked with a high winning % and a weak SoS

4. Augustana .810 w%/.518 SoS
6. Benedictine .857/.511

Don't think so, maybe 8th

Ramapo  20-2   .909/.486   #2 in Atlantic Region
St. Norbert  16-3   .842/.488   not ranked in Central

By RPI they beat North Park and tie Augustana (but are behind Carthage). Maybe they'd be in the mix for the last spot or two.

I found one potential error in the data (so far). They list Dubuque as 8-10 in the West region. I have them as 7-11.

It looks like the NCAA and d3hoops.com disagree on the result of the 12/29 game vs. St. Scholastica.

Looks like Dubuque indeed won the game. Somehow the d3hoops.com box score got flipped.

We are definitely reliant on schools confirming the score when they upload a box score! Thanks for the catch and we've flipped home/away to make the score line up.
