East Region Playoff Discussion

[dlippiel]

How does one even create the brackets without seeding teams? 

I asked that question, too!

I'd say they did pretty good considering this is how they pick the teams...

dlip is never surprised by the lack of sense the NCAA exhibits on a consistent basis.
Honestly, look at their piss poor ****ing track record across all sports and divisions. The NCAA is a body that looks to do one thing, make money. Their feeble attempts at being upstanding, focusing on whats best for student athletes, discipline, and making any kind of sense are ****ing ridiculous and again, piss ****ing poor. This body focuses on one thing and one thing only, revenue. To dlip that's fine, but change your ****ing name to Fanny Mae or Mac or some **** like that. To dlip the funny thing about the NCAA is that they continue to try and come across as if they give a ****. dlip heard "The Office" is based upon the actual NCAA head of operations and main functioning office.

As a Montclair fan I'm happy to be in the Playoffs. Did Ohio Northern get screwed, the answer is yes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The NCAA decided to put the brackets together the way they wanted and they did so. IMHO they placed W&J to play in Alliance because the coach was from Mount Union. The committee thought it would look good. We all know the Brackets are North, South, East and West. I agree that there is no clear #1 in the East and Mount Union should be there. I do agree with Montclair and Main playing due to milage, makes sense and this may happen in other brackets. Set the brackets and then seed them. Cut the you know what. Stop trying to be politically correct. Nuff said !!!

I have a question with the weak East. The NJAC has 100 roster limits. Is that true with the rest of the East? I would guess that most of the Top 10 teams have unlimited roster requirements. That is why Wesley would not join the NJAC. I think JT said in the past that Montclair, Rowan and TCNJ grabbed the top talent and the rest of the NJAC was weak. The 100 man limit was done to even things up. What can be done to level the entire playing field for the East? I do not know the exact date when the limit was put in. Was Rowans Beast of The East run with or without the 100 limit? Just curious.

Whitewater has a 100 man roster limit

Good question about the historical aspect of the NJAC roster limit.  JT, Phil, or Knightstalker might know the answer to that one.

The rest of the East is not limited to 100 players.  Members of the Empire 8 have had huge rosters at the start of camp in recent years, Alfred especially.  Honestly I think if the NJAC wants to compete with the E8 long term, they should consider increasing the size.  But then you have to consider the amount of coaches it requires to properly supervise/train a larger roster.

Isn't this typically the # of names listed in the program?  I can remember having over 100 kids, but 1-99 get listed in the program.

Did Rowan have roster limits during their Beast of the East days in the mid 1990s to early 2000s?

Pep is thinking there were 135 or so at Camp Alfred in August. That number is probably closer to 100 still on the team/ suiting up for varsity and/or jayvee games about mid-season. An alum donated $$ to pay the salary of a jayvee coach.

Pep sees that a freshman class of 75 football recruits each year boosts the school's enrollment and, while not all continue to play football, most get connected to AU and stick around for four or five years. Some realize they probably won't get PT, others realize that their classes demand more of them than originally thought, some never aspired to play beyond high school but it got them introduced to Alfred and they like it in Mayberry.

Yes

What are the details of the roster limits? Is it 100 players after camp, or only allowed to bring in 100 to camp? Varsity roster, or roster of entire program (Varsity, JV combined)?

I believe leagues can limit schools to roster size, and of course the school and limit themselves.  After that, a school can have 1000 players on the sideline if they wanted to.

The ncaa does have playoff roster restrictions though.

I just did the pick em contest from the front page...I'm assuming there are some programming issues going on because when I view my picks...some of the results are already listed and the teams I chose are crossed out...

So...Apparently Alfred won already, Huntingdon lost, Thomas More won the first round, but no more, and Case Western lost to Wittenburg...

Interesting....

While I'm writing those results into my bracket, I think I'll put on my Phillies back-to-back championship tee.
