I hate to ask this, especially when I could just do the research and find out myself, but how many pool B's are there this year?

It's not even really research so much as clicking the FAQ or reading the blog or the ATN column, where we continually mention the basics over and over, knowing people are new to Division III or the playoffs or forget over the offseason.

I think I'll stick with the rest of the board in making you work for it instead of just telling you though :D

2 more than there should be.......

You do understand how they calculate the number of Pool B teams that make it, right?  Or do you just think UWW and UMU should be the only teams to make the playoffs?

You do understand a joke right?  Yeesz, lighten up Francis.

And no, I don't want only Mount and Whitewater to immediately go straight to Salem.  The best part of the season is the ride getting to Salem, not the actual Stagg itself.

I find easily offended people rather offensive!

Statistics are like bikinis; what they reveal is interesting, what they hide is essential.

Yeah, they're supposed to be funny.

K-Mack,

Thanks!  I did finally just go to the faq's and look it up.  I didn't know whether the number of pool B slots change over time due to more conferences getting the aq bid.    I should have known better ;D

They may change. But we keep up in the FAQ. And I just wrote a blog about it not two days ago.

IMHO, SUNY-Maritime is one win away from a Pool B bid.

As to who will get the third Pool B bid, I think that we need to see the Regional Rankings to figure out the Salisbury/CWRU/other UAA/Norwich tangle.

HSC85

Salisbury has only two losses and both to undefeated teams that are in the Regional Rankings.  They are only 7 points away from an undefeated record.  I would consider them one of the top 32 teams to be considered for the tournament.

Results versus Regionally Ranked opponents may help Salisbury.

The thing that will help Salisbury is if a USA South Champion Pool A CNU makes it into the final South Region Ranking to give Salisbury a 1-2 record versus Regionally Ranked teams.  CNU at 6-4 is probably a reach.

In any case, Salisbury beat the co-leaders in the USA South, NCWC and CNU.  CNU currently has the tie-breaker.

Could we change the name from Poll to Popularity Contest?
