Can't believe the first Regional Rankings are just a few hours away..... Been a strong season for the MA Region with a few recent losses (Wesley, Mary Wash, Messiah) which makes things more interesting. My final guess (don't take mine too serious, purely a guess for fun and made a few slight changes from my last):

Cabrini
Wesley
Messiah
Mary Wash
Dickinson
Scranton
McDaniel
Alvernia
St. Mary's

My last picks for RR before they officially come out today with the "largest snow storm" of the year approaching. Cabrini could have another postponement with Immaculata again tomorrow with 24 hours of snow coming.  :D

1. Cabrini
2. Mary Washington
3. Wesley
4. Scranton
5. Dickinson
6. Messiah
7. St. Mary's
8. Alvernia
9. Gwynedd Mercy
Cabrini Cavaliers 2012 National Runner-Up.

Regional rankings out along with SOS data... Mid-Atlantic with a few surprises, but data backs up some of the decisions. Again, just the first week: http://www.d3blogs.com/d3hoops/2014/02/12/2014-ncaa-regional-rankings-week-1/

Perhaps the D-3 "voters" need a new slide rule????????
Not even close!

The resume for Scranton hasn't significantly changed in the past few weeks. Randolph-Macon was continuing to win until last night and that's the only win that would resonate with a significant number of voters.

Because Top 25 voters have the same criteria as regional committees?

Toga,

Don't waste your time. The Royals aren't going to get any love from Dave.

You could be ranked very highly with just 24 ballots, but it appears that only a few people think Scranton is worthy of votes at the moment. It's not just Dave.

Dave:
Whether or not the Top 25 voters work off the same criteria as the NCAA committee is not the issue.
One would think that at some point a degree of common sense would prevail over the seemingly never ending supply of geographic
provincialism.

The Top 25 voters simply don't agree with you, that's all. And that means a really large majority of them don't agree, not just a couple here and there. Definitely expect Scranton to pick up more votes this week but I don't know if I saw enough happen this week to get them five times as many votes.
