BB: Pool B

[Pat Coleman]

JohnnyU: We don't match regional records on some teams. I have Chapman 18-4 through today, which includes a split against Linfield that I believe you didn't have as of 1 p.m. today. And that 18-4 is counting Menlo.

Not going to guarantee we are 100 percent accurate right now but the games we have with dots on our schedule pages are the regional games:

Looking again, 18-4 is correct. I'm sure made some other mistakes as well. Just trying to get the numbers out there. Thanks for the correction.

CSI's in-region designations look correct to me,
and CSS and Bethany Lutheran, and Ithaca and RIT...

This is a first attempt at calculating SOS numbers for Division III baseball, and as such, they may not be 100 percent accurate. However, we will continue to refine the data and mark all in-region games correctly, we will make gains in the accuracy of this data.

Through Sunday's games.

Awesome information. Here's some of the Pool B teams. It looks like BLC and CSI are getting killed by their SOS. On the other side, Menlo, St. John's FIsher, and Huntingdon are really being helped out.

Looking at today's numbers? The only question remaining should be what to make of Rochester's UAA games.

Perhaps you could detail what you believe are errors because as our front-page story states, it's been gone over by multiple people.

My mistake Pat, I misread a few of them at the top my error

Pool B ??
                 Region   Win %  OWP  OOWP   SOS
Presentation 15-4      .789     .306   .479     .364
http://www.d3baseball.com/school/PRES

With low OWP/SOS and 6 games still left with Bethany Lutheran(3) and St. Scholastica(3) not much of a chance with these numbers to be in a contention for Pool B but at this time still a high Winning %

Sweeping BLC and taking 2 of 3 from CSS gives an in-region record of 20-5 and good head-to-head results vs known programs.  I think that the committee would be looking at Presentation for the 4th Pool B.

[BigPoppa]

I'd be shocked if Presentation wins more than one of those games... if any.

I was thinking along the same lines as I was looking at Pool B's

Three Pool B teams in the rankings:
Chapman (#1- West)
St. Scholastica (#3 Midwest)
St. John's Fisher (#5 New York)

Looks like a race for the 4th spot!

A race or a dog fight?  Dog being the meaningful word in that question.
