Also, Bishop#1Fan, we posted the scenarios for the NCAC on Friday:

I find hilariously ironic that the geniuses in the NCAC are the only ones that could come up with such a screwed up schedule & tie breaker ruling that could have given the AQ to Kenyon if they'd have beaten Denison.

Thank goodness they lost and saved us the horror of Kenyon facing a #1 seed.

Witt is worthy participant and should once again compete well.   It worked out for the best with them as the AQ.

It was the coaches, you know, not the administrators. So football guys determined this tiebreaker.

Kenyon would be no worse than other past #8 seeds and some contemporary participants. Kenyon's power ranking before yesterday was #163 according to Massey. St. Norbert was #162. St. Scholastica was 160.

Everyone who gets an AQ is "worthy". They did their job.

Call us crazy and we hope we're wrong but we have a funny feeling that Bridgewater State will make the field.

Crazy.

I see we weren't the only ones who noticed. Sure made the instant analysis easier.

Despite being annoyed by two teams from NEFC, this is still better than the BCS!

Way, Way better!

Way, Way better!

The BCS system of strength of schedule computer ranking plus human polls would be much better than the D3 system if the BCS picked 32 teams.

Not unless they un-neuter the computer rankings and put back in real MOV and SOS calculations. The computer rankings the BCS uses are weak sauce and those who even run the systems admit that it's not representative of their work.
