scottie - I like it!  It's gonna be party time with the Turkey on Saturday in Monmouth!   You planning on making the trip to MC and being around for the game?

[scottie]

Mav: No can do, this time.  I've got a couple of weekend priorities on the other side of the state.   

I have blocked off my calendar for some "business travel" around the 21st, in order to be in the stands for the playoff game.  (Hopefully, in the Greater Western Illinois region.)

scottie - And there's not even an Illini home game to work into your weekend priorities...doesn't sound like much fun.  The weekend of the 21st should be a good one, hopefully around the Maple City like you said.  Regardless of where the Scots are at, I'll be there to see it.

Is there anyway you can see how close the voting is?

Is there anyway you can see how close the voting is?

Nope.  And the only regional rankings which actually matter (those done after Nov 15th games), we will never see.

Willamette - Salem Oregon
Occidental - Los Angeles
Monmouth - Central Illinois
UWSP - Stevens Point, WI (North Central Wisconsin
UWW - Whitewater (south east Wisconsin)
Redlands - L.A. Area
Northwestern Minnesota - St. Paul MN
St Johns - Collegeville, MN (NW of Minneapolis about 70 miles)
Gustavus Adolphus - Saint Peter MN (SW of Minneapolis 70 miles)
Linfield - West Oregon

Not being as familiar with a lot of the schools, I decided to see where they are located. It appears from this that the west coast is pretty straight forward. Willamette host Linfield and Occidental host Redlands.

Now in the Midwest you have 3 Minnesota teams, 2 Wisconsin and Monmouth. I do not like how this looks for Monmouth. I firmly think they should and will get a home game. But who is what I am worried about. Maybe we can get Gustavus going to Monmouth, only 390 miles. But that would probably leave UWW at UWSP and that won't happen 1st round.

Oh the agony of speculation.

[scottie]

If St. John's makes it in, it would be poetic for them to travel to Monmouth after they wiped the field with the Scots in 2005.  Give Monmouth a chance to return the favor. 

[Scots4]

Alright Scottie...who do you take head to head...05 Scots or 08 Scots?

[coco]

FYI,

Linfield is in McMinnville, about an hour from Portland, but it might not be their year to be in the playoffs. Still, anything can happen. It would be good to see the MWC representative make a deep run this year.

That is the most straight forward but one of the things is the commitee will avoid rematching conference foes first round.

Not to mention that each region has only 8 (not ten) teams, and pools B and C are selected nationally, not a set number per region.  I believe at most 6 of the listed teams will be in the playoffs (and the IIAC AQ was not on the list).
