BB: Regionals (West) 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011

Looks like West Region teams may be set. All teams have finished their season.

Here is what it may look like.

West Region Teams
Chapman Independent Pool B(will be official on May 16th)
Pomona-Pitzer won SCIAC Pool A
Linfield won NWC Pool A
Trinity(TX) won SCAC Pool A
Texas-Tyler won ASC Pool A
Mississippi College ASC Pool C(will be official May 16th)

Will the NCAA make any changes ?

That is one tough regional. I bet TU draws chapman first game....

Maybe one more Pool C, Texas Lutheran or Pac Lutheran or someone else, and Mississippi College gets shipped to the Central. Not too many good candidates for Pool C over there.

My only concern is that the Central Region will have a team on the table thru 15 rounds and will not get taken?

Maybe this is the year that we fill regions with the best teams and damn the regional rankings!

Amen to that idea....Hey 3 West Region teams in 3 Regionals could mean 3 West teams in
Appleton ??. I am sure this will generate some discussion.....

Last year's one Pool C one from the Central, 19-12 St. Norbert went to the Midwest. It looks like that same scenario is possible again, with St. Norbert having a similar non-impressive record.

[/quote]That would mean the West would get 3 pool C bids, that might be a record.

BUT what happens if MC gets sent/bussed to South Regional....?

Does that open the door for PLU or TLU ?

I think that PLU's or TLU's getting a Pool C bid is what permits the NCAA to fly Mississippi College 765 miles to Augustana /Rock Island or 847 miles to Methodist University or 897 miles to Marietta.

Which plane ticket is cheapest?

Just looking at the regional records and SOS, I think TLU will be close to the pool c bubble depending on what happens in other parts of the country. Comparing Redlands, TLU and PLU, I think PLU is a definite third team in the group and Redlands and TLU are very close.

My guess at regional rankings would be
1. Chapman
2. Linfield
3. Pomona Pitzer
4-5. MC or Tyler (it doesn't matter, but they are close this week)
6. Trinity

With the three extra pool c bids this year, the West Region #7 could get in to allow MC to head to another regional. At this point I think it would be TLU.
