Similar sentiments, myself.

Here is a general question.

DePauw with 22 votes is the lowest total ever for a ranked team.

I count all but 138 votes given to the Top 25 teams. Is that the highest cumulative vote total given to the Top 25 teams, ever?

This week, all but 101 votes were given to the Top 25 teams. Only 38 teams received a vote.


This week, 38 teams and all but 99 votes go to the Top 25.

Your bottom 4-team bracket of UMHB vs St. Johns and Trinity vs. Hardin-Simmons could be a quarterfinal from a team quality standpoint.

Although these things are openly discussed and this is just my honest opinion is that I think the committee would more than likely switched the Pomona-Pitzer with St. John's game to create an "higher percentage" that the 2nd round game is a non flight. Not saying these discussions actually happen.

Two notable changes, per the D3 championships committee report (https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/committees/d3/champs/SEP2022D3CC_September1213Report.pdf):

1. No region will have more than seven teams ranked.

2. The flight threshold is back at 500 miles.

Not sure how updated this is, but I just came across this map of the D3 football teams landscape. Never truly appreciated on how much of an island Texas and the western states are in D3:

That looks like it's been several years. No Nebraska Wesleyan or Finlandia, Earlham and Thomas More still listed, etc.
We have our own map that's current to this season.  http://www.d3boards.com/index.php?topic=8975.msg2048428#msg2048428

Yup, you are right. There really isn't a difference between 500 and 600 miles for football. What increasing from 500 to 600 was to allow for more equitable matchups within the centralized areas in R1, R2, and connect more R4 teams to R5 and R6 teams.

I updated the projected rankings based upon 7 team limit per region. Also, updated the bracket for the reduction of the 600 miles limit to 500 miles. Bracket looks like the old boring brackets. But it is what is.

Ithaca should be 0-1 in this

Here's the current Pool C eliminator through week 8. I think I've caught all the scenarios of teams who must lose again to be pool C.
Teams with gold border are in/tied for first in their conference.
Teams with an asterisk have a non-D3 loss that's not being factored into their loss total.
