Here's how I see the first West Regional ranking looking:

    Team        Record      SOS    Results against Regional Ranked
1.  Whitewater       7-0    11     (Wins over Oshkosh and Platteville)
2.  Bethel               8-0     10     (Win over C-M)
3.  Linfield              7-0     53     (Win over Pac Lutheran)
4.  Pac Lutheran    7-1     45     (Loss to Linfield.  Win over Pacific)
5.  Conc Morehead  7-1   59     (Loss to Bethel)
6.  Pacific                6-1    62     (Loss to Pac Lutheran)
7.  Illinois College   8-0   185
8.  Oshkosh            7-1   143     (Loss to Whitewater)
9.  Greenville          9-0   225
10.  Platteville        7-1   192      (Loss to Whitewater)

Anyone else want to take a shot?

Uh Oh--better tell Pat---the D3football listing has Greenville, and *almost* the entire UMAC in the West!   ::)  Maybe they really are in the west.....

St Scholastica was listed in the west last year.

St Scholastica was listed in the west last year.

Greenville is listed in the North with a few other UMAC teams while the rest are in the West on the main site so idk what's going on there.

TitanPride

I tried not to mess that up.  As some have said, according to the regional page, Greenville is a member of the west.  (http://d3football.com/teams/west)

TitanPride, I have no problem with your SOS formula.
I'm a homer and any formula that keeps LINFIELD off the #1 West ranking wrankles me.
I should know that it's the last poll that counts and that I should not still be upset we're so far West we cannot appear to be but an SOS.

It was a brutal weekend for Bethel I terms of the Regional Rankings. At least as brutal as a weekend can be were you stay unbeaten and win by 49 points on the road.

Wartburg and SJU losing cost them probably 1, if not 2 wins against RRO.

The big question is how much the committee weighs SOS v. win percentage. That will determine a lot about where IC gets slotted compared to other teams with one or even two losses against much better competition.

I feel for you, sincerely.   In 2010, the SOS is what caused UWW to leapfrog around the country even after going undefeated and being the returning national champion.

With so little "cross pollination" amongst DIII teams I have no idea how anyone can be that objective when calculating SOS.

It's pretty easy given that it's based on winning percentages--there's not interpretation needed.......and SOS is one of the 5 criteria used in doing the regional rankings......

But given that some teams with great records have never played great teams what does that prove?
