The rankings that matter!  Pretty sure Christian isn't making a thread this year so i'll kick things off with my RPI rankings for each region.  I included a bubble team or two for each region. 

Something that should be kept in mind when looking at the NCAA Regional Rankings and starting to think about Pool C at-large berths . . .

Due to the dissolution of the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) and the merger of the Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) and United East Conference (UEC), there are two less automatic berths (AQs) this year and thus two more Pool C at-large berths.  So this year's tournament field is comprised of 41 AQs, 1 Pool B at-large berth, 22 Pool C at-large berths.

That is significant.  I'm not sure it should change anyone's prediction of who is on the "bubble" for at-large selection, but it probably is more a shift from trying to figure out which 2 of 6 "bubble" teams will make the cut to trying to figure out which 2 of 6 "bubble" teams will be left out.

When do the first set of NCAA rankings come out? Apologies if that's what is above, but NCAA has not updated their website yet if so.

This is the last release before the final rankings, correct? Or is there one more set next week?

One more next week before the final rankings

With D3Soccer.com not operating, I'll miss "Conference Championship Central." I've seen mention of two fewer AQs this year with the merger of CSAC and United East. What is the other berth gone and how many total AQs are there this year?

Here's what @FlyingWeasel posted about that in another thread:

Quote(1) Due to the dissolution of the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) and the merger of the Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) and United East Conference (UEC), there are two less automatic berths (AQs) this year and thus two more Pool C at-large berths.  So this year's tournament field is comprised of 41 AQs, 1 Pool B at-large berth, 22 Pool C at-large berths.  That is significant.  I'm not sure it should change anyone's prediction of who is on the "bubble" for at-large selection, but it probably is more a shift from trying to figure out which 2 of 6 "bubble" teams will make the cut to trying to figure out which 2 of 6 "bubble" teams will be left out.

I have no idea if it means anything but Tufts and Babson both with 10 games vs RR opponents

As conference playoffs begin tomorrow in the NEWMAC I expect things to go to the wire (but please no PKs).  As a Babson fan things will be stressful.  Of their 23 goals, only 3 have been scored in the 1st half;  and no 1st half goals (by Babson) since 9/17, spanning 11 games.  Some of that is tough luck, but IMO the lion's share can be attributed to "let's feel the other team out and see what we're up against".  No excuses tomorrow - 2nd game against a conference foe.

Cristan, you may have posted about this 50 times before, but is the language or practice around counting BOTH 3rd and 4th weeks results for RvR purposes definite (as in must be applied that way) or could there be discretion there...like a team shows in hindsight that they really weren't a ranked-quality team, and so assuming if in the last spot anyway, maybe a W or L versus that team shouldn't count as much?

Well, I got to tell you, it was nice to be be relatively relaxed and stress-free this weekend and getting good sleep. It's been over a decade that I couldn't say that about this particular weekend. I do miss doing it on some level and, like many of you have expressed, I definitely miss not having the information available to me as a fan that we at D3soccer.com were able to provide surrounding the at-large selections and everything else throughout the season.  But my four soccer-playing kids (not to mention nieces and nephews) with their soccer and non-soccer activities (dance, gymnastics, field hockey, etc.) keep me so busy that I really don't have time to miss it too much.  And last night I was happily compiling video highlights from the weekend's games instead of trying to figure out who the 22 Pool C at-large berths and 1 Pool B at-large berths will go to.  That was very nice and the best part: I didn't feel guilty about it! 

OK, that's not answering your question, so . . .

First, for the benefit of "the whole class", I'll just recap how the Results versus Ranked Opponents plays out.

"Results versus ranked teams" criteria spelled out

For the . . . first weekly rankings:	N/A (no previous rankings)
second weekly rankings:	results versus teams ranked in the first weekly rankings (10/18)
third weekly ranking:	results versus teams ranked in the second weekly rankings (10/25)
final rankings:	results versus teams ranked in the third weekly rankings (11/1)
at-large selections:	results versus teams ranked in either the third weekly rankings (11/1) or the final rankings (11/6)

To your question, as I posted previous in this or another thread, the committee seems to have a lot of latitude in how to consider results versus ranked opponents.  Our understanding was that they can weigh a result versus a team at or near the top of their region differently than a result versus a team near or at the bottom.  That result versus at lowly ranked team would still be a part of the criteria being considered, so it can't be erased and disregarded, but not all wins (or ties and losses) need to be treated as equal.

Teams ranked in the third weekly rankings, that will count toward the final RvR, were ranked based on 90% of the season already being in the books. So it would not reflect well on the committee's own work if last night they all of a sudden in hindsight didn't think a certain team was worthy of ever having been ranked. One result during conference playoffs should not change their opinion that drastically about a team.  Can it drop them down a few pegs and out of the rankings, sure.  But if the season was extended another week, a team that was in the third rankings but out of the fourth rankings would seem a strong candidate to push back into the rankings if they would get the right result in that extra week.

Probably doesn't answer your question really, but I'm not sure there is a clear cut answer.

Thanks, Cristan....I think my question boils down to whether or not the cmte must weigh week 3 and week 4 equally...or is there latitude to give week 4 more weight than week 3.

In part asking because of GAC and Denison...and Trine.  Hobart appears to have "earned" their late entry into the last spot in Region 3.
