Feel really good about the state of the Tracker:

SCAC and SCIAC still have conference games to be played, so their seedings cannot yet be included.

[Greek Tragedy]

I believe conference tournaments start next week. The NAC and the NESCAC, right? We'll post any updates here until Pat/Dave posts an updated Conference Tracker link.

[SpringSt7]

The NESCAC starts next week with quarterfinals. Seeding could change a lot depending on Williams-Conn today, which is the last game of the regular season. If Williams wins they are the 1 seed in a tiebreak with 3 other 7-3 teams but if they lose they are the 6 seed in a tiebreak with 2 6-4 teams.

CHAMPIONSHIP

NAC West winner vs NAC East winner

Allen, you neglected to add this paragraph from the NAC presser:

UMaine-Farmington went undefeated in the NAC East Division to secure both the top seed in the division as well as the no. 1 overall seed for the tournament. The Beavers will host East no. 4 seed Northern Vermont-Lyndon in Friday's first divisional quarterfinal, while East no. 2 seed Husson University will face East no. 3 seed UMaine-Presque Isle.

(emphasis mine)

It's not necessarily a given that the team with the better conference record would host a championship game between two teams seeded the same in their respective divisions, so we can't assume that. For instance, the NAC could move the championship game from one division to the other on an every-other-year basis. In fact, that format would probably strike a lot of people as being more equitable, given the extremely large geographic footprint of the league.

While the presser doesn't go on to say who would host the championship in the event that NAC East #2 and NAC West #2 win their respective divisional playoffs, or if it's NAC East #3 vs. NAC West #3, or NAC East #4 vs. NAC West #4, given the fact that Maine-Farmington is seeded higher overall than SUNY-Delhi due to a better conference record, it's reasonable to surmise that the same would hold true in the #2, #3, and #4 slots; i.e., Husson would host SUNY-Cobleskill, UMPI would host SUNY-Poly, and Cazenovia would host NVU-Lyndon.

Greg-- thanks for adding in the NAC presser indicating that UMaine-Farmington is the overall #1 seed.   The seeding for the first weekend is for a divisional title-- therefore, the seeding this week is done by winning percentage in NAC divisional games only. The seeding for the second weekend, which determines who would get to host the NAC Championship game, is by overall conference winning percentage.

Both of these percentages can be found here for the year 2022-23:

2022-23 NAC Men's Basketball Standings

The overall seeding is done by overall conference percentage, so if NAC East #1 seed or NAC East #2 seed win out this weekend, that team would host the NAC Championship game against the NAC West winner, no matter what seed the NAC West winner is.   SUNY Delhi, the NAC West #1 seed, has a NAC conf winning pct. of .714 (10-4 overall NAC record), while UMaine-Farmington has a .929 NAC winning percentage (13-1 NAC overall record) and Husson has a NAC conf. winning pct of .786 (11-3 NAC overall record).

So, in your named matchup scenarios for the NAC Championship game this season:

NAC East #2 (Husson) vs NAC West #2 (SUNY Cobleskill)-- Host team would be NAC East #2 (Husson), with a NAC conf. winning pct of .786 (11-3) vs NAC West #2's (Cobleskill)  conf winning pct of .571 (8-6 NAC overall record.)

NAC East #3 (UMaine Presque Isle) vs NAC West #3 (SUNY Poly)-- Host team would be NAC West #3 (SUNY Poly).  Although both teams have a NAC overall winning pct of .571, SUNY Poly wins the tiebreaker with a better overall record. (13-12 overall for SUNY Poly vs 12-13 overall record for UMaine Presque Isle).

NAC East #4 (NVU-Lyndon) vs NAC West #4 (Cazenovia)-- Host team wpuld be NAC West #4 (Cazenovia).  Cazenovia has a NAC overall winning pct. of .571 (8-6 NAC record) vs NVU-Lyndon's NAC overall winning pct of .231 (3-10 NAC overall record.)
