    Re: Bracketology 1.0 D3 style

    Still a month left before we decide who the 12 will be.

    At this point if you're not UW-Stevens Point or Geneseo, just win baby because otherwise you're dancing on dangerously thin ice.

    I'd say those two, Stevens Point especially are all but locks right now. Geneseo probably is pretty darn close too.

    Everyone else still has plenty of work left to do. The gap between 3 and around 13 can fluctuate pretty quickly. Norwich was 15th a couple weeks ago and is now 4th with this 12-game unbeaten streak. However, one loss and I could see them dropping quick.

        That is correct but due to travel the matchups would stay the same as the committee has done countless times in the past to avoid flights. Is it your intention to misinform people or do you simply not know what you are talking about?

          Has anybody calculated the PWR from the end of the 17-18 season? I'm curious to see how the at large selections (especially Marian) stack up with what the field would have been like with PWR in place.

            He's saying the problem isn't "solved" because your scenario involves a possible flight in the QF game, which I think is unavoidable. I agree that the committee would probably go with your assessment, unless they went way outside the box and had an Oswego Adrian first round game, with the winner going to Geneseo. However, in that scenario, my head hurts and I'm not looking at the rest of the bracket to see if there's a way to make it all fit without any flights until the FF.

              Nothing in my scenario involves a possible flight prior to the FF

                The 500 mile rule is dumb. Period. Just get rid of it.

                D-3 is gradually moving towards a meritocracy via employing a PWR for the AL's; let's take the next step vis-a-vis the sitings, FCS.

                  An 8-4 split would produce a bracket with all of the Quarter final games in the East. It's happened before and it will happen again.

                    So all four FF teams will be from the east? Is Mcshane back on the committee?

                      I think the point is that:

                      4 west teams play to 2, who both get to the final four

                      8 east teams play to 4, and then to 2, who both get to the final four

                      And all east teams then play one more game than the west teams to get to the FF

                      I am not saying it will happen or I am endorsing. I am trying explain what I Believe you are not understanding of the previous post

                            That was what I meant. I mistakenly called the first round games quarterfinals because I was up past my bed time
