BB: Pool B

[forheavendial4999]

As bad as Chapman has been, their SoS is keeping them in the race.

Remaining games. Chapman has 4 with Linfield, 1 with Cal Lu, 3 with Redlands and 3 with Whitman. I really believe they are out of it IMO.

Pretty sure you're right. WUSTL and Ithaca seem to be the heavy favorites to get the Pool Bs, then it'll be up to Piedmont, Emory, etc. to fight for the Pool Cs. Chapman won't be in that fight.

Chapman is not eligible for a Pool B bid.

[Pat Coleman]

Yes, despite the handbook, Chapman is not a Pool B team.

[CrashDavisD3]

Yes, despite the handbook, Chapman is not a Pool B team.

NCAA puts out another publication with errors.....Does anyone really read and proof read before they put these things out.

Considering they are hiding them from the general public now, these documents go through even less review.

Not that it's not a foregone conclusion, but why is Chapman not Pool B? They're not competing in the SCIAC and therefore not eligible for Pool A, right? Is the only way they can win a berth via Pool C somehow? That would seem odd.

Agree... is it possible that they remain a Pool B until they qualify as a Pool A? It would make sense as the Pool C is a second chance (not the only chance).

They're listed in the handbook as independent still, right? That being the case I don't know why they wouldn't be Pool B. Not saying I'm right, just saying if I'm wrong, I'm "very puzzled."

They are still listed as independent, non-AQ in the current handbook.  Who knows if that is right though....  Looks like 9 Pool B teams. 

Univ of Chic 14-9
Neb Wesleyan 13-15
Washington U St Louis 23-7
Baptist Bible College 4-15
Lancaster Bible College 8-16
North Central Univ 3-14
Brandeis 6-26
Univ of Maine at Presque Isle 4-21
Chapman 12-18


Chapman, if a pool B, might still have a shot...as crazy as that sounds.

There has to be more than that. Doesn't look like that counts Pool Bs that are not in qualifying leagues, some of which have better cases IMO than Chapman.

according to what was linked on the board at the baseball handbook...it only lists those 9 schools as Pool B teams.  It lists each region, which conferences are in each region that get a Pool A, which teams are in those conferences.  Then, below each region, it lists Pool B teams for that region.

[BigPoppa]

Your forgot Emory at 21-10. They'd likely get a Pool B before Chapman (if even eligible)

He forgot a lot of teams.

I'll make a board survivor bet with anyone here that Chapman is not in a regional. I reserve the right to waive the payoff if I actually like having that person around.

[tigerfan_2001]

yup...i am an idiot.  missed an entire column in the handbook.  Nevermind.  No chance Chapman gets a pool B.
