d-train,

You're thoughts on Willamette are right on.  They are part of the "rest of my list" (that's part of the reason I didn't do this until after 10/15 last year).

Willamette (2-3/2-1) Loss to Gustavus Adolphus, 34-25, Loss Western Oregon, 23-9 (non-DIII), Loss to Southern Oregon, 34-27 (non-NCAA)
At Puget Sound
At Menlo
Whitworth
At Lewis & Clark
Pacific Lutheran


Here's the rest of the "list"
Need lots of help:
Husson (4-2)
Martin Luther (4-2)
Rockford (4-2)



Gotcha, thanks. Oh...and +k for the work you've put into this.

I think Willamette will win the next two weeks (and beat L&C), so they'll be floating around on the bubble for a bit longer. Are the two losses for those other three teams all D3 losses?

Bob's excellent summary gives the impression that the NWC winner stands a good chance of getting one of the three Pool B bids.

Also, please remember that Pool B is eligible for Pool C bids after the Pool B's have been designated.

I appreciate his posting this after week #6.

The "B" list looks pretty strong, especially since they're fighting for three spots now.

I can see, perhaps, the winner of the UAA, NWC and Salisbury / Wesley getting the bids, whilst the NWC and Salisbury may have a legit "C" chance if they don't get the "B".

+K, too Bob

BTW is there any signifigance to the order teams are listed?

The "list" that I've posted includes all of the teams I think are in the running for the three Pool B spots, and, failing there, in the Pool C group.

The current list isn't in any real order.  Give me a week or so, maybe two and I'll start ranking them.

Thanks for the +K's.  I hadn't really paid attention to that stuff, but then realized I was -15 or something.  I don't usually get into issues with smackoffs who would do that.  Maybe there's a bunch of people out there who think I don't know what I'm writing about....oh well.

Well, I just got rid of that nasty little negative sign in front of your karma number.  Let's hope it stays away!   ;)

Bob.Gregg:

Salisbury could go undefeated with a win over Wesley, or Wesley & Salisbury could finish the year with one loss each.  If Salisbury beats Wesley, I don't know if two losses will get Wesley in.

I agree with smedindy, take on how things could unfold.

nj,

I didn't say a two-loss Wesley team would get in.

I specifically said the "B" list wasn't ranked yet, and wouldn't be for another week, maybe two.

What do you think will happen if both Wesley and Salisbury finish the season with one loss?

All depends on whatever else happens.

I wouldn't think Salisbury's staff would sleep all that well that Saturday night.

In a week or two, I'll get into more of what might happen if this or that occurs.

IT'S TOO EARLY!

NJLL, remember that Salisbury and Wesley are also eligible for a Pool C bid if they do not receive a Pool B bid.

Knightstalker:

How have you been?  I agree that Salisbury and Wesley have possibly shots with a one loss record.  Right now, the pressure is on Wesley to win out.

I know this is the wrong board, but how do the Gothic Knights look for the upcoming season in B-Ball?  We're all going to miss Coach Brown.  Btw, Ive seen alot of NJCU commecials on TV lately, great job by the PR department.
