[theoriginalupstate]

East Region Playoff Prediction 2.0:

This scenario will probably be the best case scenario for the east...

1-Muhlenburg (10-0)  Pool A  from the South Region.
2-RPI (9-0)  Pool A
3-Ithaca (9-1)  Pool A
4-Cortland (9-1)  Pool A
5-Lycoming (8-2)   Pool A
6-Rowan/Montclair winner (9-1)  Pool C
7-Plymouth St (9-1) Pool A
8-Hartwick (8-1)  Pool C

Thanks for the post.   

Please give us your opinion on the 8 teams that would constitute the "South Bracket", taking care to minimize the number of plane flights.

The 6 Pool A conferences are the Centennial, the Presidents AC, the ODAC, the USA South, the SCAC and the ASC.

"Pool B teams" include Wesley, Salisbury, Huntingdon and LaGrange.  (There are 3 Pool B bids to give.)

How many of the 6 Pool C bids go to South Region teams?

Thanks

Cortland still has to play Brockport and Ithaca.  I'm not sold that if they win both, that they will not be rewarded with the #1 seed in the East.  They are ranked #7 in the country right now.  Beating Ithaca could easily move them ahead of Muhlenberg in the polls. 

Before I can make my predictions, can anyone help me with the E8?  If Ithaca beats Alfred, Hartwick wins out, and Fisher Wins out, who wins the 3-way tie?

If Cortland wins out the definitely deserve he number one seed and to jump over Muhlenberg in the Polls.

Ithaca....

If they do win out i'll agree with that...

Its not a given with their schedule though...

The third tiebreaker for the E8 is the NCAA SOS which Ithaca has locked up no matter what (if they beat Alfred)  So Ithaca wins in a 3 way tie with SJF and Hartwick.*

If Cortland wins out, I think that they become the #1 seed in the East.

RPI (10-0) gets 2 games on that side of the region.

A 10-0 Muhlenberg gets to be #1 or #2 in the South with three or two home games.

You can move Pool B CWRU to the east.

1)  Cortland State
2)  RPI
3)  Rowan/Montclair  Pool C
4)  Ithaca
5)  Hartwick  Pool C
6)  CWRU
7)  MAC Pool A
8 )  NEFC Pool A

We can juggle the matchups in the bottom half of the bracket to avoid conference foes in the first round.

Ok, so here are my current predictions:

1.  Cortland (10-0) - Pool A
2.  RPI (9-0) - Pool A
3.  Montclair/Rowan Winner (9-1)  - Pool C
4.  Lycoming (8-2) - Pool A
5.  Plymouth State (9-1) - Pool A (Do they play an extra game still for the conference championship?)
6.  Hartwick - (8-1) - Pool C
7.  Hobart (7-2) - Pool C
8.  Albright (8-2)  - Pool C

Obviously Hobart beating RPI, Ithaca beating Cortland, Alfred beating Ithaca and SJF, amongst other things, could throw this region into a mess.  A 9-1 Curry might get considered.  A 7-2 Husson with 2 Out of Division losses might get considered.  Who knows...The next 2 weeks shall be interesting to say the least.

Yes. P-state would be 10-1 with a NEFC conference game win.

I'll add on to this post... it's a good thing there isn't an undefeated NEFC team this year so they will probably be the #8 team.

Psst...where's the E8 pool A?

I dont think the east gets 4 pool C bids this year.

Where is Ithaca (Pool A from E8)

Maybe he thinks IC loses to Alfred and Cortland and SJF beats Alfred with Hartwick winning out.

(he would have to put Pool A next to Hartwick then.)
