Wow! 8 Pool B teams in the Regional Rankings! The UAA has Brandeis, Emory, Case Western Reserve and Washington St Louis.

My first projections on the Pool C bids. Very rough draft, but it is a place for others to begin picking apart my picks.
Assumptions:
The highest ranked team in a conference will be assumed to have won the Conference tourney AQ. The MIAA has no tourney, so Adrian is given the AQ.
The 38 Pool A bids come off the table, so the Pool B teams can be considered. Teams in bold have clinched.
Let’s give the 2 Pool B bids to Mideast #3 CWRU and to South #3 Piedmont.
I will award the 15 Pool C bids and project them as they might come off the table. #1 -#8 are arbitrary. HSU comes off last.

With Oshkosh destroying Whitewater this weekend, I expect they will get into the rankings.

McMurry knocks UT-Tyler out of the ASC Tourney by sweeping the first round series 2 games to none.
UT-Tyler finishes with an in-region record of 31-6.

Error — UT-Tyler finishes at 30-6 (.833) in-region.

While I realize that this isn’t quite relevant, I was wondering if anyone knows how the NJAC tiebreakers work. This could affect the Pool C bids depending on how the tournament turns out. During my time in the NJAC it never came up.
Ralph, if you know I would very much appreciate a reply.
Thanks,

ralph – i think that salisbury state’s sweep of methodist this weekend will get them into the regional rankings in the south, perhaps leapfrogging maryville (which went 1-2 in their conference tourney) and emory (inactive since the regional rankings) – i know how i feel about salisbury as compared to other south region teams…perhaps you could address salisbury vs. other pool c candidates on the south region page on d3boards.com…thanks!
salisbury is now 24-10 (.706) vs. .543 OWP/.531 OOWP (85 SOS rank)
salisbury does have two big regional games left against hopkins (24-8 in region) and montclair (12-10 in region) – win, lose or draw, hopkins should help ssu’s OWP and montclair should help ssu’s OOWP
