I would not be in favor of stacking the brackets, but I wouldn't mind a random draw for bracket seeding. If polls really have nothing to do with it and all records are equal for the #1s put them in a hat and draw for seedings. 1st out = 1, 2nd = 2, etc. then at least people would stop griping about it favoring UWW and UMU unfairly.
I would only have the random drawing amongst "undefeated" #1's.
I agree, but how often is there a 1 loss #1
Wesley, UMHB, Linfield, McMurry, Cal Lutheran, Hobart, Trinity Redlands. I think they stacked the wrong bracket if they wanted UMU and UWW out...lol
You're right but I would say that any of the four highlighted would have given UMU a good game and would have had a chance in alliance. So it may be that stacking the bracket created a situation that most insured a potential for upset, or it may have created the most attrition to contend with.
My wife and I are Alumni of both UMHB and HSU.  You think you are confused, my kids don't know which Purple and Gold team to pull for.

Well, Wesley ends the season at #3 on both national DIII polls.  Well done to the Wolverines for overcoming the loss to Kean to return to the semi's and give MU a good game.  This was the first time that Wesley had a regular season loss and reached the Semi's.  It was fun to see all of the different teams and locations that Wesley has had to play through the last couple years.  From the Virginia University of Lynchburg with its HUGE offensive line to the D1 FCS Charleston Southern with it's nice grass field, Wesley has one of the most unique schedules anywhere in DIII, that is for sure.  This is not the last of it either.  Next year will be quite interesting for the team.  Your turn Justin!

Now what to do in the meantime.   :o ??? ::) :P :-[ :-X :-\ :'(

I was bored at work. So I decided to come up with a solution to Wesley and Huntingdon possibly joining a conference. I think this could go into effect after this upcoming season. I know there are many factors and issues with conference alignment and the sorts. But, like I said I was bored so this is what I have to say.

I think the USA South Conference should invite both Wesley and Huntingdon into the conference, as well as invite Salisbury*, Frostburg*, and Newport News Apprentice** to join the confernce and split it into two divisions.

USA South (N)                          USA South (S)
Wesley                                             NC Wesleyan
Salisbury*                                         Huntingdon
CNU                                                 Maryville (Tenn.)
Ferrum                                              Averett
Frostburg State*                                LaGrange
Shenandoah  ***                               Methodist
Newport News Apprentice**                 Greensboro   



*Subject to Empire 8 Contract
**Not considered NCAA institution
***Leaving for the ODAC

this 'idea' of the USA conference looks awesome
wish it would happen
i think Huntingdon would be competitive in that conference
keep the faith

Shenandoah is a member of the ODAC in all sports starting next year. They have wanted to be in the ODAC for years and you can bet they won't be going anywhere. The ODAC might be willing to release Catholic, who is an associate member for football only, although I think the ODAC is pretty happy having 8 teams for football for scheduling purposes going forward.

Now with Shenandoah out the picture, you can release Newport News Apprentice and have 12 teams in the conference having 6 in each division, having each team play every team within each division and two games in the other division, leaving two OOC games.

I appreciate your grappling with the Huntingdon and Wesley questions. They have pestered me for a long time.

The disadvantage is that the playoff loser really hurts its chances at a Pool C bid, as few as they are in football.

And the USA South has never gotten a Pool C in football.

It did in 2004 -- both Shenandoah and Christopher Newport got in.

Oh thanks...the same year that the ASC had 2...Champion HSU and the UMHB Stagg Bowl team as the Pool C bid.
