Our projected bracket:
http://www.d3football.com/playoffs/2018/final-playoff-projection

Interesting.  Bethel sent south.  That would be new.  Also, I reckon the Jays will get #1.

But a SJU v BU semi at Clemens will be a spectacular game.

There are South teams in all four brackets in our projection.

It's not personal, Pat, but YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!1!!11!!1!

Congratulations Bethel and SJU!

I don't see ncc playing wartburg in the first round. I don't think Pat had been real accurate in his matchups over the past few years-But we will see.
After his second touchdown catch in a record-setting day, St. John's receiver Will Gillach pointed skyward. That, folks, was for former head coach John Gagilardi. The legendary coach of the Johnnies for 60 seasons and 64 in college overall died Sunday. He was 91. His 489 victories are most in college football history in any division.

It looks odd but I literally describe the reasoning behind this very matchup in the story.

I guess we will see, but I am not sure many would agree that st Norbert is better than wartburg.

I don't either but they have a better record and they beat Monmouth, where Wartburg did not.

I think Wart is probably better, but the evidence on hand outweighs my gut. Wart lost to Monmouth. SNC just beat Monmouth.

First Impressions from D3 Projected Bracket.

1. I think Pat and crew tend to get this more right than the real committee year in and year out. I'm trying to remember the last time I saw the total bracket and felt like the real one was superior. This usually leads to some disappointment when the real bracket comes out. It's also a really hard process, and Pat and crew have a major advantage in that they've been at this for 20 years now and the committee is refreshed every few years.

2. It'd be fun to see Bethel with the matchups proposed - SNC is a perennial playoff team that Bethel hasn't ever gotten to face. And I agree that they're worthy of a 3 seed. I like that they'd only have to play one more game in Arden Hills. I don't want a repeat of the North Central game on concrete from a few years back.

3. SJU/UWW would appear to have the most challenging road. I'd rank the Brackets as follows: UWW, UMHB, Mount, Brockport.

4. Brockport should be a near lock for the semi's (cue Frank dinging my karma in 3...2...1...). The weakest #1 IMO, and in this projection they also get the clearest path to Final 4.

5. It's the most, wonderful time, of the YEAR!!!!!  ;D ;D

It's gonna be a long wait till 4:30

It's clear that in the projected bracket that Mount and Brockport have clearly the easiest path to the semis while SJU would probably need to beat 3 top 7 teams just to get to the championship.

Valid point, however it shouldn't matter the way the SJU team is playing right now. Hopefully the level of play for SJU only continues to increase as each week goes by!

Do they weigh when the game took place, like first game of year vs last game?

Armistice Day is one of those words that is a line ball over being harder to pronounce or spell.  So hard that it's been changed to Rememberance Day in Aus.  Regardless of spelling, remember the vets, particularly the doughboys.
