First Regional Rankings are out. I don't understand the South. Rhodes beats Texas-Tyler by 10 in Texas, has the same overall record and are ranked three places behind them. Eastern Mennonite beats Randolph Macon by 20, has a better record by two games, is two places ahead of them in their own conference and Randolph Macon is #5 and Eastern Mennonite is #9. I understand SOS, but you can't help who who you have to play in your conference and league scheduling. All you can do is schedule tough non-league games. Rhodes played Texas-Tyler and Ferrum in non-league games. Eastern Mennonite has played Ferrum, York, and John Hopkins in non-league games. Some common sense needs to be applied when ranking teams instead of using formulas (categories) to figure things out. No offense to Texas-Tyler and Randolph Macon. I think both are very good teams. I just feel like Rhodes and Eastern Mennonite being ranked behind them makes no sense based on records and head to head games, which should carry a lot of weight when comparing two teams. That's just my opinion!!

Nice to see two teams from the conference (Ferrum & Maryville) ranked in the first regional rankings. It would be great to get two teams from the league into the NCAA tournament.

I hope she is OK. She is a great player and seems like an even better person. I hope she is healthy and back as soon as possible. To graduate what Maryville graduated last year and to come back and have the great season they are having says so much about what type of program they have and what a great job Coach Travillian does.

I wish we could get some discussion on this board. This has been one of the strongest conferences in the South Region the last two or three years. A league that got three teams in the NCAA tournament last year. Let's get some discussion going on this years teams. Who are the best teams in the league? Maryville, Peidmont, Huntingdon, Ferrum, Greensboro, Methodist, NC Wesleyan? Any predictions? Let's see if we can't spark some discussion on this board.

You are right. I think the Methodist lost did Ferrum in for an at-large bid. They now need to win the tournament. Before that loss they only had loses to teams that should be ranked very high regionally. That is why it is so important to win the games that you should win. You can't afford to have any bad nights. If they had won against Roanoke and not slipped up against Methodist they might have been in the picture.

I think Ferrum College should be included in your list. They are 14-4 overall and should be 12-4 in the region. Their loses came to Ogelthorpe, Marymount, Roanoke, and Greensboro. Marymount is not a South Region team, but I think they fall within the mileage range to count as an in-region game for Ferrum.

I would like to hear some talk about the League.  We need more talk. There has been some good play.  Let's hear what people think about what is going to happen once league play starts.

Why doesn't there seem to be much talk about  the USA South.  I would like to hear some talk as to how everyone feels the league is going to play out now that we have seen some non-conference scores.  Who looks like the favorites? Who might surprise some people. I don't think it's going to play out like the preseason rankings.  Let's hear some talk
