I prefer Massy once enough games get completed as it is a analytical model and not influence by opinions.

Massy is showing Cal Lutheran as #4 in nation with #1 SOS. Their out of conference games are boosting their SOS; and they have 3 key games coming up next week against Pac Lutheran. Those games are shaping up to be very critical in determining Region rankings

Below are 1-3 plus top 6 West teams in top 15...

Cal Lutheran SOS is 54 here. I am not sure how there could be such a difference in SOS between two different sites.

Jim, I completely agree.

Massey has Linfield with the #2 SOS, while the D3 site has them at #103 SOS, ha.

We are getting close to the Regional rankings, should be some good competition in the West.

I have not looked at Massey's calculations but I (well d3baseball) uses the NCAA formula.

The rubber match between UTT and Centenary scheduled for today was cancelled due to inclement weather. I am not sure if the game will be rescheduled.

Jack Parkman · April 12, 2017, 12:48:32 PM

Updated from last week...I placed anyone that is in the top 50 of any poll. Very interesting to see the difference in how some polls value certain schools so much more than others.

UT Tyler did not play the entire week. They had a rainout for the game at Centenary last Tuesday and no games over the Easter Weekend. It will be interesting to see if a long layoff impacts their play this week. They are not scheduled to play until this weekend when they host McMurry for 3 games. They finish the regular season on the road the following weekend at East Texas Baptist. The conference tournament first round starts on Friday May 5.

Can anyone confirm that this is the week that Regional Rankings come out?
I believe last year they came out April 28th.
