Win and your in, end of story. If you win all your games from here on out your the national champion no matter how much you cry about it. If Colby wins every game from here on out would you say they don't deserve to be the national champions?

Re: The 2018 My Team Got the Shaft from the NCAA Thread
The case is that, except the teams that swim in Pool B, the route to get to the national championship begins with the first round of the league tournaments. There is one Pool B selection, and a collection of "lucky losers" who get a second chance. The NCAA intends its national tournaments to be tournaments of champions. If you can't be champion of your league you are getting a gift to be allowed to play for the national championship.2007-2008 ECAC East/NESCAC Interlock Pick 'em winner

Re: The 2018 My Team Got the Shaft from the NCAA Thread
Not sure this counts as a shaft but Hobart 's likely path to a championship is beating Geneseo in the Cooler, likely going to Maine to play UNE ( having not moved past UNE in final RR despite having been tied at # 2 two weeks ago and Hobart going undefeated since then , and UNE got creamed by Nichols?) and then likely beating St. Norbert followed by Adrian on back to back nights.......now that is one hell of a gauntlet

Originally posted by spwood View PostI believe Geneseo is more than 500 miles away from U. of New England. Hobart is only 450 miles away. I think both of you would be hosting Colby in a second round game. And it could be worse - you could be Trinity, who got shafted by their own regional committee.Russell Jaslow

Re: The 2018 My Team Got the Shaft from the NCAA Thread
I happen to think the NCAA Div 3 Men's and Women's Tournaments need some serious work and consideration. As for the Men's...When you have the two top teams in the east (Geneseo #3 traveling to Hobart #5) playing in the first round while Nichols #13 and University of New England #7 play unranked teams. You are going to lose one of the top 5 teams in the country in the Quarterfinals. Now the Women's tournament has the Adrian #5 traveling to the east to play Elmira #3 and Hamline #7 gets a first round bye and then gets to play the winner of the #6 vs. #8. I guess geography benefits the teams that are not that good because we can't ask them to travel...
