Tournament weather has officially hit the Northeast!!  I'll take my guess at the Final Four: TCNJ, Chicago, Carnegie Mellon, and Williams.  Although, all of these teams face significant hurdles to get to the final four.  TCNJ could potentially have to beat Tufts, undefeated Chris Newport and then Messiah just to reach the Final Four(of course you never know).  Let the games begin.  Everyone going out to the games stay warm.

Those are certainly 4 very strong teams.  The UAA is a fantastic conference.  No matter what there would have been two top ten at large teams coming from the UAA.  The Centennial is pretty strong as well.  Out of the 4, I would have to say that Messiah not getting the AQ is the most surprising, but, not 1000-1 surprising.  100-1 is probably around right.     

deiscanton, Thank you for the great work.  Very enjoyable reading.

From what I can see Susquehanna and Moravian do not control their own destiny.  If Scranton beats Catholic, Scranton is in and the Sus/Mor result will mean nothing as far as playoffs are concerned.

I see Catholic at 3-2-1 10 points Scranton 3-3 9 points and Moravian at 2-2-2 8 points.  I believe with a Catholic loss to Scranton and a Moravian win over Susquehanna.  Scranton would be 4-3 12 points Moravian would be 3-2-2 11 points and Catholic would be 3-3-1 10 points.  Etown also has 10 points but is a favorite over Juniata on Saturday.

So Scranton controls their own destiny.  Win and they are the conference 4 seed, correct?  What about a tie?

I think Scranton would be the #3 seed with a win over Catholic.  If Moravian beats Susquehanna, Moravian would be the 4 seed Catholic would be out.  If Susquehanna beats Moravian and Scranton beats Catholic I'm not sure who has the tiebreaker for the 4 seed between Catholic and Susquehanna.  Scranton can only advance with a tie if the Moravian Susquehanna game ends in a tie.  In that scenerio Cahtolic would be the #3 Scranton #4.  Of course, all of this is subject to me having made a simple math error.

Some interesting games to start the season this weekend.  It's nice to see some teams like Trinity (TX), Chicago and Pacific Lutheran traveling to play out of region.  Makes for some great match ups to start the season. 

Thanks for the info.  I guess the easiest way in is to just win the conference and not have to worry about it.

Any word on where the final four is headed?

I think I read somewhere that the Final Four is heading to Roanoke VA?  Not sure if I read it correctly.  Does anyone know the number of At Large bids available for the Women's Tournament?
