Pool C -- 2014

[Hawks88]

Anybody know the final in Birmingham? It's been stuck on 45-7 with 14:10 left in the 4th for about two hours now.

I'd wager Guilford and Rhodes enter the South rankings, replacing H/S and HSC.

I think Bethel and Pacific are out in the West. Ithaca may be out in the East rankings. Shufflin' around.

And NOW! Oshkosh beats Platteville in triple OT. The West rankings may get really *fun*.

I don't know if Bethel falls all the way out of the RRs, but their Pool C hopes are surely done.

Oshkosh beats Platteville 30-27 in 3OT.  This will also shuffle the West RRs.

Be interested to see Wally's next projections....  Gotta think UWO did enough to earn a Pool C bid today, especially with Bethel losing.

If nothing else, they should get to the table earlier and would seem to have to get in before North Central.

Concordia - Moorhead may get in the West Rankings.

Macalester at 9-1? Central at 8-2?

I'd wager Guilford and Rhodes enter the South rankings, replacing H/S and HSC.

Can't imagine leaving Rhodes out of the top 10 at this point.

On the off chance that TLU somehow doesn't make it... would it be out of the question to have a pod of Husson @ UMHB and Chapman @ Linfield? I know Chapman and Linfield already played, but it seems like the best fit rather than sending Chapman to UMHB and someone out to Linfield. And in this scenario you'd have to have 2 flights anyways so why not send the isolated low seed to one of the top seeds.

[smedindy]

I was just thinking the same thing. TLU losing that RR win will hurt. Chicago may now have a RR win if Rhodes replaces H-S and / or HSC. Then Centre may have a RR win and probably cements the "B" there.

The undercards troday were just as impactful as the main events.

Why not Husson to Linfield then?

I don't think Linfield will be a top seed, though. Those will probably be Mt. Union, Wesley, Whitewater and UMHB.

yeah if they actually wanted to sede things then that would be an issue...but as  Linfield fan we've seen many years where we were a #1 or 2 and got stuck an unreasonably high first round sede because of geography.

Perfect storm may have relocated to Seguin.  TLU handles its business, but so do Centre and Muhlenburg.  Hardin-Simmons, Emory and Henry loses and Rhodes wins.  Who is the 10?  Things are about to get very interesting.

HSU dropping out makes TLU's selection a referendum on scheduling UMHB more or less, since they likely could have gone 10-0 by finding a more beatable school to play.

I'm firmly in the TLU camp on this.

Definitely not liking that with Wally on as official prognosticator, I can no longer come here and see if he's seeing what I'm seeing.

I haven't put together my final six yet, and it's a lot easier when someone else does 9/10ths of the regional rankings for you

Choose your adventure:

Assuming Centre will be the "B" now at 10-0 and with TLU probably losing their one RR (and Centre mayyyybe picking it up with Rhodes).

Candidates:

Ranked one-loss teams:
Framingham
Del Val
JCU
Wabash
TLU
Muhlenberg
Oshkosh
Chicago

Ranked two-loss teams:
North Central
SJF
Thomas More
St. Lawrence
St. Thomas

Oh, so much this.  Why couldn't everybody just play nice in week 11?

So that's eight for six spots in C before you even get to the two-loss teams.
