Now that Wheaton has lost, the question really doesn't need to be asked, but I'll ask it anyway for fun.

If Wheaton beat Swarthmore for the national championship, what final ranking would they end up as?

In the history of our poll, no voter has ever placed the winner of the NCAA Tournament/playoffs anywhere but No. 1. (True on D3hoops.com and D3football.com.) Legend has it that one voter requested to do so in the first few years of our poll, but I requested they reconsider and they obliged.

"but I requested they reconsider and they obliged." = I made him an offer he couldn't refuse (no horses were harmed in this offer, though)

When you go back and look at scheduled, by the time a team has reached the championship game, they've beaten an array of teams that just can't compare to someone, even someone really good, who loses the first weekend.  I doubt Wheaton will be in my top four, but I haven't started looking yet, so you never know.  Oshkosh will definitely be #1, though.

One of the more interesting things that Mike Schauer said in the Wheaton postgame press conference on Friday night -- and Mike always says interesting things when you put a microphone in front of him -- was that the semifinal against UW-Oshkosh was the eighth game that Wheaton played this season against the three teams ranked atop the Central Region by the committee (Augie and North Central three times each, UWO twice). That's a quarter of all the games that Wheaton played this season, which is pretty amazing.

Wheaton went 3-5 against that group, beating each team once.

In the 3 wins Aston Francis averaged 42.3 PPG.
In the 5 losses he averaged 31.8 PPG.

Will WC be ranked above Augie and North Central both of which beat them 2 out of 3?

Possibly. Beat ranked Wooster, Augie and Marietta.

My guess is above NCC, below Augie.  But just a guess.  I could argue ANY order of the three.

That's where I ended up.  For a while I had NCC as the best, since they were 2-1 against both Augie and Wheaton, but the other losses on the schedule (especially the loss to Loras) kept me from making my decision so CCIW dependent.  Three great teams regardless.

Hey... didn't Dave promise an early preseason top 25 before the weekend was over in one of the Live Fort Wayne shows? ??? ;D

I think it was an early preseason All-American list.

No ... I said I might have to start working on my preseason Top 25 while I had the data fresh in my head. :)

There was also talk in the same vein about preseason all-America selections.

And then continued to joke about how some entities do that in D1 once everything is done and how it is called the "way too early" stuff.

Kind of like how we'll already be drafting teams and players for next year's tournament?  ::) 12 of my 16 players I drafted last year at this time did make this year's tournament!
