With widespread agreement on the first 18 selections, I am predicting that somebody gets all 20 correct today.

I'm predicting no one gets them all.  Nineteen maybe, but not 20.

That's usually a very safe bet. This year, I think there is a good chance (though admittedly probably still under 50/50) that someone pulls it off.

I only differ from my Hoopsville panel effort by 1 pick - I have Ramapo, and we had La Roche last night.

Centre & Ramapo is a combination that we hadn't seen yet, increasing the chances that somebody gets them all.

I would think this is the year someone gets them all...because if you look at this, everyone agrees on the first 18.  This just comes down to the final 2 picks.  In past years it seems like there was more disagreement on the final 3 or 4.

Now, of course, if the committee sees those first 18 differently...then we're all wrong.

Titan Q

Certainly the pick that has me worried is La Roche. That is a really high WP.

Bob has enough predictions out there that I'm sure he's gotten them right at some point.

Here are my final picks...
1 Augustana
2 Randolph-Macon
3 UW-Oshkosh
4 Hamilton
5 St Thomas
6 Williams
7 Loras
8 Marietta
9 York
10 Middlebury
11 MIT
12 Rochester
13 Wooster
14 NJCU
15 Capital
16 Plattsburgh 20-6/.769 WP/.529 SOS/6-6 vs RRO
17 Wheaton 19-8/.704/.574/4-5
18 Salisbury 19-8/.704/.575/4-7
19 E Connecticut 20-7/.741/.557/2-5
20 Centre 21-5/.808/.530/1-1

Almost picked Gordon 23-5/.821/.522/2-3 as #20, & could see Ramapo 18-9/.667/.569/8-5 despite the low WP
19 of my final picks are the same.  I just have Ramapo instead of Eastern Connecticut.

I'd take Whitworth over Centre - 3 losses to highest ranked team in West Region and possibly the nation.

In your hoopsville panel picks, I'd take Ramapo over Laroche, a clear winner in 2 of the 3 criteria.
Whitworth also lost to UT-Dallas (ASC Pool A) on a neutral floor.

Did UT-Dallas creep into the final Regional Ranking by winning the ASC Tourney?

I just have two!  With my Hoopsville crew and my solo. :)

To me it seems like committees have personalities. The VandeStreek committees of yesteryear seemed to be an 'SOS' committee.  Dave's interviews with the committee chair throughout this season makes me feel like they're a 'WP' committee.

Exactly. It's all reading of tea leaves at this point, of course, but Dave's interview with national committee chair Sam Atkinson on Hoopsville earlier this month, combined with a point or two that Mike Blaine made last night on the show and the elimination of the WP/SOS adjustment tool, have me thinking the same thing. It's why I'm going with both La Roche and Centre.

We will know very soon!

I listened to all of those interviews too and didn't necessarily hear as strong of a WP push as you guys did.  Just rather that they were going to stop using the WP/SOS adjustment. 

But again, drama over in a few minutes.

Wow. Point had a higher winning %, higher SOS, more results vRRO (2-6?), but 0-2 v La Crosse.

I'm not shocked Point didn't get in. I'm shocked La Crosse did!
