South Region playoffs

 looks like bridgewater got athe 3 and wesley the 4

[Ralph Turner]

I know that chances are tough for UMHB to get a home game as we understand it now, but I want those "northern" sportswriters and media folk to see some D3 football, Texas Style!

Good luck, Cru!

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round...all thru the town.

PA Wesley fan, As I understand it, "pairings" are not necessarily "seedings".

[Bill McCabe]

Ralph, can you make any sense out of how they are ranked, rated, seeded, etc?

[mandfense]

My GUESS (and it's only that) in the South bracket is:

1.  Trinity
2.  Thiel
3.  UMHB
4.  Wesley
5.  Bridgewater
6.  W&J
7.  Ferrum
8.  Johns Hopkins


If UMHB wins, my guess is they are home in Round two.
Thiel would host anyone they play in the region except Trinity.
Johns Hopkins can not get a home game.
Ferrum only gets a home game if they play Johns Hopkins in the Region Final.

On the ESPNEWS broadcast, Pat said that Wesley would host UMHB if they both win their games.

[BC2000]

SO, what are the seeding from top to bottom?

Did BC get the 3 seed?  What about Thiel?

Know I shouldn't look down the road to the second round, but would BC would host Thiel in the 2nd round.

...Know I shouldn't look down the road to the second round, but would BC would host Thiel in the 2nd round.

NO, you shouldn't.

NO, they wouldn't.

Really?  Who did UMHB tick off at NCAA HQ?

[Olinemom]

I'd love to see another Bridgewater - Trinity matchup.  Those 3 games in that 3 year span were some of the best football I have ever seen.

TTU,

Did you see the 2001 game at Bridgewater?  That was the greatest football game I've ever seen at any level.

He may not have but it was a fabulous game.  Hope the game this coming weekeind can be an exceptional one as well.

I think that Wesley's QOWI, which is highest in D3, is the key factor.

1.  Trinity                      8-0,  11.000
2.  Thiel                      10-0, 11.1
3.  Wesley                    5-0,  12.500
4.  UMHB                      7-1, 10.375
5.  Bridgewater            7-1, 9.500
6.  W&J                         7-1, 9.375
7.  Ferrum                     8-1,  10.111
8.  Johns Hopkins          7-2,  9.444


Ferrum's loss dropped them from a QOWI of 11.000 to 10.111.

I mentioned this last night, and I'm not sure if it had any bearing or not in the seeding, but maybe HSU fell from the regional rankings after losing...which in-turn hurt UMHB, as they'd no longer have a win against a regionally ranked team.

[Ralph Turner]

Mizzou, I have HSU's QOWI roughly 10.222 with a win over TLU.  I believe that HSU might have knocked Capital (8-2, 10.100) out of the playoffs.

Ok, so explain to me, the not "seeding" statement....the teams were not seeded per the broadcast, so are they using the last Regional Rankings or what?  To get to the point, I am wondering if UMHB will ever have a home game during this postseason play?  I thought, we might in the 2nd round but a statement was made that we (UMHB) would go to another place if (when!) we beat TU....any clarification to my confused mind would be appreciated.

GO CRU

Not if they go strictly by bracket lines. Obviously they are not an eight seed playing a one seed but that is how they are paired up due to geography. Correct me if I'm wrong but the teams have been seeded everytime in the past. Now do they use that to their advantage to have UMHB host if they beat Trinty & Wesley on the road or do they have to travel regardless. Again if they have to travel throughout regardless then that is just flat wrong! But welcome to D-III athletics from an NCAA perspective.

[Ralph Turner]

Cruprez, there was one last regional ranking from Saturday that the committee used.
