[Redhawk Sighting]

I am not going to try to figure out all the permutations and combinations. We can get a math major to do that. What I will say is SNC has their 2 losses in conference for the season. Where that leaves the rest, get the math major.

  SNC should stay home the rest of the season!!  I guess the season is over congrats SNC....

Redhawk. Don't be that way. I am sure you will make somewhat of a game out of it. 

[Pat Coleman]

Could somebody post the current conference standings- and does anyone know the tiebreaker for a four-way tie. I just can't keep up with it!

Ask for something, and Pat delivers.

Thanks Pat

[The Roop]

Should have asked him if the UMAC gets a Pool A next or year if it will be 2012 with their re-organizing. That will mean one less at large bid out there so the chances of the MWC ever getting 2 in are probably behind us. Strangely enough it might actually help getting a home game though.

No mathematically eliminated teams are playing each other so which isn't the GOTW ??

[Pat Coleman]

They get a bid in 2011.

That means one less Pool B bid, most likely, *not* one less Pool C bid.

[The Roop]

I hope you're right but unfortunately the written procedures and what the NCAA actually does can be two different things.

[Pat Coleman]

No, Roop, this is math. Nine teams get removed from Pool B and they plus one new football team starting in 2011 get added to Pool A. That changes the ratio.

If the NCAA gets it wrong, we will call them on it. We've done it in the past, and they've corrected it.

The Roop:

1. I think you are right.  All of this week's games are GOWs.

2. Don't look behind the curtain.

[Moncolfan]

Thank you for the info Pat. If my calculations are correct there does exist a scenario where 6 teams could tie with three losses. Who is to say thats impossible with the way this year is going!  How bout if we take the best players from all the teams who tie for the conference and go play Whitewater?  Still doubt if we'd have much of a chance LOL! But I will say this regardless of which MWC team goes to slaughter in the 1st round  they still won't be the weakest team it the field.

[The Roop]

Well scottie I've met you and have seen Pat from a distance, so I know you're not one and the same. Why the sudden concern over me looking behind the curtain Afraid I might figure out which of you is pulling the strings.................

Moncolfan............... It has been a long time since the MWC entrant has been the worst in the field but an All-Star team with only one week of practice has as much chance of beating Whitewater as does scottie making sense.       

[Moncolfan]

Jeez Roop I wasn't really serious about that - my point was the talent might still not be the same. IAnd in regards to the conference I'll even say IC is better than two or so of the teams that get in this year.

[The Roop]

Didn't think you were serious but any excuse to pick on scottie and I take it. You inadvertently set me up for it. LOL.

Wish I could tell you which team does get in this year but with the remaining schedule lets just put names in a hat.

[SNCOLDAD]

As I stated before, SNC already has its 2 MWC losses for the YEAR.
