Pool C -- 2015

[jknezek]

Hendrix is the ONLY school within 500 miles of Huntingdon unless Guilford gets in. There is nothing to be done here unless we spring for more flights. Hendrix to Huntingdon, UMHB to HSU, Whitworth to Linfield if they get in, otherwise LaVerne to Linfield. I've been wrong before, but if you are minimizing flights, these match ups have to take place.

Only Guilford making the field can do something about Huntingdon/Hendrix pairing.

I hope you are right about Hendrix to Huntingdon. That's a long drive to Arkansas from Auburn. Hopefully 9-1>8-2 trumps those 147 places of SOS and the common opponent.

Who knows since we'll never see the last Regional Rankings. But no SAA team has appeared yet where Huntingdon was holding down a spot.

What humanity really needs to do to help this situation is mastering the art of teleportation.

Yes, that would certainly alleviate the problems of the 'island' teams!

Of course, it would also take away most possible excuses!

(I wonder what it would do for 'home field advantage' - are there any adverse effects of teleportation comparable to a six-hour bus ride?)

We can only hope players don't end up like Mike Teevee in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Or Seth Brundle.

No, what could happen is a parallel universe where it's the evil Mt. Union, the one where the coaches wear goatees (or don't if they have one now) and they lose to Wilmington 66-3

Thinking RPI....  Texas Lutheran never got to the table with Guilford getting the last Pool C bid.

correct--I think Texas Lutheran would have been next after Guilford which is why I included them.

If you're a 2-loss team, be sure you lose to teams like Oshkosh and Whitewater, and not a loss to B-W who lost to Bluffton who lost to...Wilmington. Again...ONU lost to a team that lost to a team that lost to Wilmington.

Correct.  RPI was in from the East after Wesley went in (round 1 or 2...we glossed the first two rounds of voting for the sake of expediency) and then TLU would have been next up from the South after Guilford.

I think the bigger thing in play w/ respect to UWP is that amongst the 4 RRO results, they won two.  Hardin-Simmons was the only other at-large team with multiple RRO wins. 

[Ralph Turner]

The mock makes sense.
Texas subbracket.
I hope we are paired with Hendrix Huntingdon in Round 2.

if you are going by the projected regional rankings UMHB anD HSU have 2 wins against RROs. HSU vs UMHB &TLU UMHB vs ETBU and TLU
