East Region Playoff Discussion

Wow.  Didn't realize that about the Wick.  They should have no trouble with Utica.

Dammit. I hope not. I hope UC can give Hartwick some trouble on Senior Day at Charles A. Gaetano Stadium.

You guys are all overlooking Montclair.

Color me as someone who thinks Rochester could win the AQ. If they beat Hobart, which will be difficult, but not impossible, and RPI beats Union on the road, also difficult but not impossible, the Yellowjackets could "bee" the LL rep in the NCAAs.

KS had to smite you for that DC, I didn't want to do it but it had to be done.

True.  I forgot they were also 7-2, potentially 8-2 if/when they beat West Conn. 

However, I think Montclair will lose out to a 8-2 Cortland or an 8-2 Ithaca in a Pool C bid though since Montclair got smoked by the Dragons.

Cortland also got smoked by TCNJ (big time), you may have a point with Ithaca, but don't forget we beat Wesley in their house. I do not think anyone in the East can take down Wesley. They are huge and quick, maybe the football Gods were with us, but we did get the W.

What what what?!?! Fair enough, it was cheesy. BUT IT WAS FUNNY!

How do you not think any team in the east can take down Wesley, but a team that got smoked by two other east teams can?

[FisherAlum05]

Wesley is very beatable, and I think a handful of East Region teams could beat them.  SJF, Hobart, Ithaca, TCNJ, possibly RPI, and obviously Montclair.  Look at some their scores: They beat Del Valley 24-21, Widener 31-17, lost to Montclair, and Brockport hung very tough for a half.

We got smoked by Cortland, but not by TCNJ.

Wesley is one of the most talented teams in d3...you cannot take anything away from what Montclair did at their place!!!!!! Cortland smoked us and I would hope they would when we turn the ball over that many times!!!! Not taking anything away from them at all, TCNJ easily could have went the other way if not for a few big plays!!....MSU deserves to be in the dance, although it may not happen MSU has the fire power to knock off any team in the region and thats the truth...and if they don't make it best of luck though to TCNJ and Cortland rep the NJAC boys....but wow if by some possible way the Red Hawks got a bid wow!!! especially with a healthy Ryan McCoach back at tailback who destroyed Willy P last week watch out East bc these Red Hawks are for real!!!

[theoriginalupstate]

I really think that there are going to be at least 2 teams imported from the North and or South to this region.

The NJAC wont have a pool C
The LL wont have a pool C
The E8 might get one if SJF beats AU and Wick beats Utica (not a given for Wick)
The NEFC wont have a pool C
The MAC wont have a pool C

That gives us TCNJ, The LL winner, Widner, the NEFC winner and possibly 2 E8 teams (If SJF and Hartwick win)

Say SJF and Hartwick win and SJF gets the Pool C.


Who gets moved in?

I see Muhlenburgh and Wash and Jeff being moved in to the East region to fill out the bracket...

How does your bracket look?

[bman]

Maybe they can move 2 Texas teams in...

[theoriginalupstate]

Maybe they can move 2 Texas teams in...

Just make sure they are from the same conference and play each other!

MSUBIRDGANG,

Good post. +K  We need to smoke W. Conn this week and then pray for some dancing shoes.

The way I see the season ending in the East is as follow, all 8-2 :

Montclair
Ithaca / Cortland (the loser is out)
Hartwick / Fisher
Hobart / RPI (one wins the LL the other Pool C material)
Albright

A good case can be made for each team as a pool C. If Fisher and Hartwick win, Hartwick wins the E-8 and Fisher gets a pool C and the rest of the teams pray. If Alfred wins then it becomes more interesting. Then you have Upstates thoughts with 2 teams coming to the East.

I hope the Red Hawks go to the dance, but at least we signed up for the ECAC's this year. There will be a lot of good teams this year.

[MSUBIRDGANG]

what would have to happen for the Red Hawks to go!!! ??....ECAC's are fine but this team has some serious potential...they have no injuries McCoach is back which takes a lot of the preasure off of Jump...ahh I mean I know we didn't beat Cortland and TCNJ I know this...but were a damn good team anyone of the three TCNJ, Cortland Or MSU could def run the table in the Region thats how good the NJAC is this year... Rowan is on a down year and they were a few plays away from being undefeated..so that is 4 teams that were all ranked in the top 25 this year..very impressive!!!!!

Go Red Hawks!!!!!
