How I see it - UW-LaCrosse, Wheaton, Birmingham-Southern, Hardin-Simmons, and John's Hopkins or Bethel

This was a crazy day...

I'll go with: UWL, Wheaton, Birmingham Southern, Hardin Simmons, & Randolph Macon (based on SOS)

I think Susquehanna will get back into Region 2 rankings with their only losses to two one-loss team with one being a conference champ. I think Union drops to the bottom of Region 2 forcing Hobart out due to H2H. That will give Johns Hopkins a RR win and on top of that Stevenson just won 5 straight games to finish at .500 so that helps Hopkins SOS. I think had Catholic won today against Springfield, that would have put them into Region 1 giving Macon an RR win, but that didn't happen. Then looking at common opponents between the two, Hopkins handled Dickinson a little better and I'm sure the committee will be looking at everything.

Bubble teams nervously watching this MIAC ending.

Johnnies just scored to help them breath a bit (edit: and got the W). BW also helped everyone by utterly collapsing against John Carroll.

Unless I misunderstood a lot of the scenarios, the games this week cleaned up things a lot for HSU and Wheaton.

I was going to post the same thing. I believe Johns Hopkins is one of the 5 best C Pool teams, yet is probably the team left out.

Total Flights - 6-9; If higher seeds win, only six. If there are few upsets 9.

Brutal late loses by Union and Ithaca destroy the Liberty League's plans for a Pool C....Very disappointing.

I think I would flip UW-LC and Lake Forest.

Good Catch...I printed it out and was like that made perfect sense.

Same.

Ditto for BW and the OAC's shot at a pool C. The Yellow Jackets got their hearts ripped out.

That .494 SOS for JHU is tough to get past IMO.

RMC has solid SOS, but no W over RRO. Lost to a 2 loss Pool A RRO. 
JHU has a rough SOS. Loss to a 1 loss Pool A RRO.
Bethel has a very strong SOS, a W vs RRO, 2 losses to the same unbeaten Pool A RRO.

I'll be interested to see how Wally predicts this, and what the committee ultimately decides.

If Ithaca gets to the table (which is not a given should they be behind Johns Hopkins in the rankings), they've got a .612 SoS (2nd best in the country), and possibly be 2-2 RRO (if Union stays in). Could that be enough to get in before a 1 loss team with mediocre SoS and no RRO wins? Will be interesting to see.

Your call, it's down to the 5th spot and Bethel and Ithaca are on the table, who you picking?

[repete]

No idea what we'll get, but for the sake of the field, I'd want UW-L, Wheatonb, Hardin-Simmons and Bethel.

Not sure why some folks seem to assume Birmingham is a lock. Lousy SoS, middlin' conference at best. What's their best win?

Wins over RR Huntingdon, solid teams like Berry and Centre. Not a power conference, but conference history is not part of the criteria.
