True. They at least played and lost to Regionally Ranked opponents. The GAC has had the strongest SOS numbers throughout the season and the NSIC's numbers were not good by comparison.

Yeah, SOS had to of been the criteria given the most weight. Which is the more difficult conference? GAC or MIAA?

We go 2-1 this week losing to the #1 team in the nation by two points and wind up 3 spots behind a team with 8 losses who went 1-1 losing in their tourney semis.

This is pretty shocking.

And realizing had we lost Saturday night to Rogers State we would most likely be in a better spot in the bracket.

Yep. Unless Rogers State has their physical play taken away from them by the officiating I expect them to make the final from their half of the bracket.

I don't believe that SNU or SEOSU did either...in fact, worse...they lost

Cough cough, look over here.

Not even the 3.

No reason to pay attention to Schnautza and the PI any longer. The GAC gets the two and three seeds after those two teams lost in the semis. In the meantime, we lose to the top seed by one and by two and there are supposedly three teams in between us and Northwest??? And Northern State probably feels pretty pissed.

Really starting to feel like D2 regional committees are going out of their way now to validate their existence and value to the process. And leaving little doubt about their lack of credibility instead.

The second and third best team in this region just got seeded as the 4 and 5.

Yep! I posted same on other places on the internets.

Seems like this is taking the whole sandbagging thing to an unprecedented and frankly disturbing level.

This is a great post.

I've always believed in Massey is the betters guide...and it's pretty close.

One thing to keep in mind is that Northern didnt beat a single team in the top 10 of the Regional Rankings in their tournament run. That will not be the case for whomever wins the MIAA or GAC tournaments. Maybe Northern still gets the 2 seed due to the GAC keefluffle but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they stick at 3.

Seeding is a joke imo...no way is NSU a 4 seed/MSSU a 5 seed...the committee put the 3 best teams all on same side of the bracket....wtf?
