      Highlights since last time
      • Bowie beat Cal - I wasn't expecting that
      • VSU 6-0 - Another day at the office

      Lincoln is declining and VUU, FSU, WSSU has just won games they are suppose to win or lose.

      It is going to be wars come conference play. As always scheduling matters.

      Also, St. Aug. almost beat a D1 school, Winthrop. They were up by double digits at one point. Even the Winthrop announcer on ESPN has to say (paraphrasing a little) - This team was picked to finish last in the conference? That's not right.

        I can't wait for the CIAA tournament. We have a great possibility of getting 3 teams in the NCAA tournament!

        VSU and Fayetteville State are locks.

        Then it comes down to who wins the tournament which may not be either of those two. I definitely wouldn't be surprised.


        BTW, I hate these rankings. The D2SIDA and WBCA are completely different. I think the WBCA is more accurate.

          I'd pump the brakes a bit on calling VSU a lock. For one thing, it's hard for anyone to be a lock with five weeks left in the season, when there are only 8 spots available and 3 of those could be stolen in conference tournaments.

          VSU would be in if the season ended now (probably 5th or so), but there are weaknesses in the profile that could be worsened by a late losing streak... which doesn't seem too likely to happen given the current record, but almost all of the remaining games are against the top half of the CIAA. The weakness that stands out is that VSU has lost to the two best teams they played, and the best win by RPI is Chowan, who at 9-7 is 15th in RPI in the Southeast.

          The bottom line is, keep winning and things should be fine.

            All good points

            I'm not expecting them to lose another game. I realize if they lose to anyone remaining on their schedule they will have to win the CIAA. My point was is they win out they do not have to win the CIAA.

              Only ratings that ultimately matter at regional
              WBCA and d2cca are just for headlines and recruiting imo. They mean so very little.

              I'll be curious to see first division ranking as I struggle to believe CIAA gets 3 in rn, especially if a surprise bid is won by any conference.
