2012 Playoffs: Bracket Reactions & more

[cawcdad]

NCC laying a beat down on CLU.  Linfield is in a dog fight and has struggled moving the ball, 17 pts off of PLU turnovers.  the video feed reallys sucks, too bad because the game is a good one.

For what it's worth--I had no issues with the Cats video feed today (unless you mean the relatively wide angles).  If you were having a bunch of buffering issues then it may have been on your end.  Heck--I had 4 games going at once for a while with virtually no buffering at all....

No buffering problems here. Had two games going and listening to the Linfield audio.
I picked 13 of the 16 games on my bracket. Probably middle of the pack. How did others do?

Oh and Kudos to Keith for calling the score on Linfield v. PLU

I got 14 (missed Elmhurst and Wittenberg) but I had Heiderlberg going to round 3....

I also had 14 (and had Coe and Heidelberg losing next round anyways), but if past brackets are any indication I'll miss 3 or 4 in the next round.

I only got one game wrong ...the heildelberg game. And I had them going two rounds.

‏Sorry, lazy ... and reposting.

@D3Keith

Fairly typical results for Pool C teams (2-5). Five road tms winning is impressive. No upsets were major, even if Bethel was 7, Coe 3. #d3fb

With 32 playoff teams, some outside the @d3football top 25 get in the field. None, however, advance to Round 2. No. 24 Witt the lowest #d3fb

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

Was kind of proud of picking the right range on Salisbury-Rowan too (I think I had 21-12).

But I'm sure I was way off on some scores.

ha ha ha---I thought Linfield-PLU was going to be close but not in the way in played out--so many turnovers and Linfield really didn't get their offense going at all--Mickey Inns--no TD passes, what?  Thankfully our D was able to bail us out.

One of my favorite charts, updated. Playoff history by conference:

What does it say that you have a favorite chart? Not that I can talk ...

Interesting that the middle conferences (PAC-ODAC-IIAC-SCAC), as they get further away from having teams that made deep runs in the early aughts, now way below .500.

Also how many Wesley wins til independents pass ACFC?

And how do they factor in conference rematches?  Not Fair!  I'm from the West and I'm complaining...  (kidding of course)

Thanks.

We ASC fans look at that 26-20 record and think of all of those first round games in which geographic proximity has thrown two ASC/Texas teams together sooner than their natural seeds would have them play.

Today the South Region team with the highest Top 25 ranking played the team with the 4th highest Top 25 ranking.  That should have been a second round game. If the form chart and natural seedings held, then the ASC record this season would probably be 3-1 rather than 2-1 going into the Round of 8.  (Yes I am predicting a UMHB win over Franklin.)

What we saw in the UMHB-LaCollege game was an old fashioned statement game by the CRU.

[Mr. Ypsi]

I also had only two losses (Adrian, after their impressive win at Huntingdon last week - tho I had Franklin ranked higher all season I thought I'd take a home-field flyer, and Heidi, which I had beating Hobart before losing), so I've still got 7 of 8 alive so far for round three, and all my semifinalists still alive.  Most years I have at least one totally disastrous loss first round, so I'm not complaining!

Especially since the CCIW went 2-0!

The rest of us know to expect that post from you every year. We get it, and everyone on this board gets it.

One thing I note when looking at this chart is that the .500 line is really high up. So even going 1-1 against yourself, as the ASC and NWC did today and as the OAC has on numerous occasions and the MIAC has as well, puts you pretty high on the list.

I like it too.  Do you include conference matchups in the playoffs or just leave them out since it has to be 1-1?

[speedybigboy]

Oops, didn't read the whole thread before posting.  I'm not even looking to guess what a conference would be without the matchups.  I'd rather just leave them out entirely.  It drags down the good conferences and boosts the not as good ones.  That is if they ever get two teams in that meet.
