BB: Pool B

[CrashDavisD3]

In the end, we would have argued the opposite if Huntingdon was selected over LaGrange.

"How can they take Huntingdon when LaGrange won the tourney and beat Huntingdon in the process?"

You cant' I take neither based other teams in Pool B......

[Jim Dixon]

I see  Huntingdon had a better regional record, SOS, record against common opponents, and a 2-2 head-to-head record than LaGrange.

Yeah I would go with LaGrange too. 

LaGrange makes this just the second GSAC team to make the playoffs.  Piedmont was in a few years back with their great season.

Thank you!  I thought I was missing something.

Overall record for the Pool B's:  5-8

[Ralph Turner]

Copied from West Region Independents upon the announcement that UDallas was joining the SCAC in 2011-12.

The only West Region independent left is Chapman.

UDallas has accepted an invitation to join the SCAC, in time to fill the vacancy left by Depauw to the NCAC.

Menlo goes to NAIA.
LaSierra goes to NAIA.
CSU-East Bay has gone D-II.
UDallas to SCAC

Last year 4 Pool B bids overall for playoffs. Will that number go down again to (2 or 3) for 2011,  since there will be less teams in Pool B bid...Each year it gets tougher for Chapman as Pool B shrinks.  

The 8-member UMAC moves to Pool A in 2011 (and takes St Scholastica with it).

The NECC probably moves to Pool A in 2012, and takes 7 teams out of Pool B.

The Commonwealth Coast Conference members go various ways and may dump 8-10 schools into Pool B for 2 years (2012 and 2013).

Menlo going to NAIA in 2011 and UDallas joining the SCAC by 2012 move 2 from Pool B.  RIT leaves  the E8 for the LL in 2012.

I guess 3-4 Pool B bids in 2012.

[CrashDavisD3]

Thanks Ralph...As always you got the details....

So it looks like in 2010 there were 4 Pool B bids from 41 Pool B teams.

Taking a guess for 2011 looks like there will be 9 less teams giving 32 teams...My guess is 3 teams for 2011. Then going back to 4 in 2012..

St Scholastica move is the wash.

Bethany Lutheran now has a better chance at getting a bid in Pool A bid, and CSS would move into Pool C.

USA South will have only six members in 2013 (with the defection of Shenandoah to the ODAC) unless they add schools or schools already in the USA South add baseball programs.

USA South will have only six members in 2013 (with the defection of Shenandoah to the ODAC) unless they add schools or schools already in the USA South add baseball programs.

Please remember the 2-year grace period that is allowed a conference to find new members and/or affiliates. That means that the USA South must get their new members by Fall 2014.
