BB: Pool B

[OshDude]

Here's what I have for in-region records among the top Pool B contenders.

1. St. John Fisher 15-3 .833
2. Ithaca 6-2 .750
3. Chapman 14-5 .737
4. Maryville 20-8 .714
5. Emory 21-11 .656
6. Piedmont 19-10 .655
7. Washington 21-12 .636
   Brandeis 14-8 .636
9. Case 17-10 .630
10. Huntingdon 14-9 .609
11. Staten Island 10-7 .588
12. Dallas 11-8 .579
13. Baruch 8-8 .500
    Chicago 5-5 .500

Not the end-all, be-all selection criterion, but it's a fairly important one.

Nice work Oshdude. !  +1

Your right other stuff like SOS, OWP, OOWP factor in but this list lets you narrow down to top 5 fighting for those 2 precious spots this year. Could this year have the #3 or #4 Pool B fall into Pool C and get a bid ??...It has happen in the past but not in recent years.

[Ralph Turner]

Ithaca and SJF should inflict some damage on each other.

I think that the East is a relatively easy region in which to get regionally ranked; one SUNYAC, maybe a SKY, maybe a LL and then 2 Pool B bids.  I am not sure whether a CUNYAC or NEAC team get some regional ranking love.

Chapman's SoS will take a jump this weekend after 4 games with Linfield.

Chapman's SoS will take a jump this weekend after 4 games with Linfield.

Maybe not as much as one might think. Linfield was like 230th in NCAA SOS according to the numbers posted on the site.

I cant even keep records straight anymore - Piedmont, Maryville, Case, Emory, and WashU are fighting for Pool B, all with 22-25 wins and 10-13 losses.  Predictions?

Emory loses two to Berry College this weekend - I know Berry is a provisional D3 member, so are those regional games?  Case losing to Wooster 12-7 end of 6 in the first game of a doubleheader.

Check team pages for regional games... games against Berry are not in-region.

The Regional Rankings come out about April 28.  That will give us an idea of the Pool B teams that have moved up in their regions.

Pool B teams with win% over .600. A lot of movement this weekend with Chapman losing 3 of 4, Dallas winning 2, Case Western Reserve splitting, and Piedmont beating Maryville.

Thanks for this (and all) of your updates and stats! 
On the above "ranking" of Pool B teams, is the first number next to each team their current SOS?  For example, is the #351 the SOS for St. John Fisher?

Only Piedmont and Chapman seem to rank high in SOS, OWP, NCAA

[JohnnyU]

RPI is .75*SOS + .25*Win%. Pool B has been much stronger this year than in the past few years. I see between 1-4 Pool C bids to go along with the Pool B bids. I'd bet the the top 6 on this list will be regionally ranked.

WashU will be in a solid spot in Central based on their SoS. The NCAA has made it clear in the poast few seasons that SoS is a huge factor in the rankings (St. Norbert- 2009 and Carthage-2010). If this holds true, WashU will get a bump from their SoS when the rankings come out next week.

I see:
1. Carthage
2. Augustana
3. WashU
4-7. IWU/Coe/Simpson/North Park

Of course, this will ALL change after the weekend series ahead of us.
