Nice run in the playoffs for SJF.

The committee was right to give the Cards a Pool C bid!

I agree, but let's be careful using playoff results as an after the fact argument for selection. The decision is either right or wrong at the time. Just because something worked out doesn't mean it was the right call to begin with. How do we know the team Fisher got picked over couldn't have done the same thing? Or even upset St. Thomas?

Because Endicott barely beat Mt. Ida?

Fine, replace Endicott with one of the NJAC teams left out of the equation...

You're selected for the postseason based on you did in the regular season. The selection is either right or wrong at that point.

I agree that Fisher deserved it,

Congrats to SJF, they should be proud but I'm not all that sure they deserved it.  I understand that the committee had to view Cortland as the third best NJAC team but if you put them side by side SJF,  we didn't have 30 point losses to ranked teams and we fared better against like opponents (Ithaca and buff st.).   

Easy Regional Team is out.  I don't understand POY but I'm probably in the minority for both my comments in this post.

With all the static the East Region has gotten for being allegedly the weakest (pretty nice rebuttal this playoff season ), was this a Freudian slip?!

Nope, he is just the product of the SUNY educational system...

Shut the dlip up.

It's a TYPO!  Fat fingers on an iPhone. I thought the East was represented well by SJF but in support of East strength, I don't think that SJF is the only East team that could have made it to the quarter finals and only to be whooped up on by St Thomas.

My question about the EAST Regional team is related to how D3football.com selects an East Region Offensive Player of the Year who wasn't even deemed the best offensive player in his own conference?  If they wanted to buck the trend and show some love to a WR then Babin had equal to better numbers from a stronger league.  Congrats to the Union WR, just seemed like a curious pick.  I never saw him play so I guess I shouldn't comment.  I had never even heard of him and I follow the boards fairly regularly.

I tend to agree with this. A team is selected based on what they do in the regular season. A team that is selected can only play up to their bid, rather than prove the selection was correct. I do think Fisher was better than the other East teams left out with two losses, but I am a homer. I saw Cortland play 3 times this year and Fisher twice. I came away from those games thinking Fisher would win head to head.

I posted this on the E8 board, but I thought Pitcher was a lock.

+k to you for having seen both play.  I can respect your opinion.  I am comparing teams on paper and I would be guilty of arguing against doing that in earlier posts this season.  Congrats again to the Cards!

Sometimes the MVP of a conference isn't the best player, but the best player on the championship team.
