West Region / Re: BB: Top Teams in West Region

All problems described shows why SOS is flawed and makes Pool B/C process flawed.

I support on the field games to make the regionals.

Top 4 in Conference are in my world of playoffs

Round 1 Conference Tourney
Pool play for the 4

Round 2 Conference Championship
Top 2 in Pool play play 2 out of 3 for Regional play.
Lose and stay home.

Winner plays in Regional

Wow. SCIAC with any 6 of the top teams could win the Pool A Bid. Only 1 loss separates the teams in the loss column.

I like some change to the current system. Pool B/C system I have never liked

I like the system above that is described. Win it on the field and eliminate regional rankings and committee's choosing Pool B/C.


Round 1 2/3 Series

Round 2 Pool Play

Round 3 Double Elimination

I think it would be fun for a full blown conference tourney  (though it would make the regular less meaningful and it would mangle chances for NCAA postseason longevity)

Round 1
Play In Round - one game
8 v 9

Round 2
Semi-Super Regionals - best 2 of 3 lower seed is home/host team
1 v winner 8-9
2 v 7
3 v 6
4 v 5

Round 3
Championship Double Elimination - re-seed based on outcome above
G1: 1 v 4
G2: 2 v 3
G3: WG1 v WG2
G4: LG1 v LG2
G5: LG3 v WG4
G6: WG3 v WG5; WG3 is Tourney Champ if winner
G7: (If necessary - WG5 wins G6)  Winner is Tourney Champ


That it makes the whole season come down to the best of three is not great - but that would get some juices flowing wouldn't it?  It does give 5-9 a chance to get hot one weekend and sneak into the 3rd round as opposed to getting it done in the 1st 24 games.  Good points/bad points.  If I'm a 1 or 2 seed would I really be at that much risk?  3 and 4 might need to watch out though.


I like it ......then only conference tourney winners move on to regionals. MAY MADNESS for D3. DONE on the field and not in committee for Pool C bids

Crash, any real fix is going to cost $$ you are right. So we deal with what we have. It could be worse. What if pool c went away, and you were left with pool A and B.
Your right.

Conference tourney is like 1st round of playoffs for D3. A mini regional. Win and move on. Lose and go home and maybe stay home if you dont get Pool C bid. Not a great way to do this but not sure how to fix this. Committee's do a poor job of picking Pool C teams in my opinion. Tough job indeed but ALWAYS a deserving team stays home. How do teams with a winning percentage at .750 stay home is hard to take.

Maybe a Pool C play in game. BUT it costs $$$

Once conference tournaments begin it is a new season for the teams involved. Win the conference tournament to get the Pool A bid to go to the regional.

Lose it and you could be done and stay home. Most years many 30 win teams have not made it to the regional tournaments and do not get Pool C bid.

BUT for a week to week opinion I use overall records. I know SOS is not factored in but I prefer wins on the field to form my opinion. SOS is flawed in my opinion.

Jim,
I don't believe Chapman was ever NAIA. They were previously college division or D2.

They could have been D-II.  My knowledge of NAIA and D-II is pretty poor.  I made that assumption since there are quite a few NAIA teams in S. California.
Chapman has won a D-II National Championship(1968) and D-III(2003). They never were NAIA although played many NAIA teams in CA over the years. At one time it also played games against a lot if D-I teams.

Chapman sweeps Whittier
Pomona 2-1 over Cal Lu

SCIAC top 4 for the SCIAC tournament is anybody;s guess. Only CMS, CalTech, Whittier are out.

108,

The key word there is "only other" referring to Chapman and Linfield

Looks like teams better plan on winning their conference, if they want to make a Regional. We could see two teams flown in this year if this continues. CTX looks like the best team in the West right now.

Last season Pool C contenders CTX (31-14), Chapman (30-13), and George Fox (28-12) were left home. Odds of a Pool C contender getting a spot this year look pretty bleak based on win/loss records thus far and how the conference schedules are lined up. The NWC is going to continue to beat up on one another, ASC doesn't have a clear-cut #2 who could make a case, SCIAC could have a team in the running as long as they don't beat up on one another too much, and the SCAC has Trinity and/or TLU at the moment (sorry Southwestern).
Only Pool A for ASC, SCIAC, SCAC, NWC

SCIAC has 3 teams at the bottom that will kill the SOS for a Pool C team from the SCIAC.
