Reseeding?

[Nick - Shep '05]

Now that we're 3/4 of the way to having the final 4, how does the NCAA reseed the semis? By record alone, or do they use a more complex formula (like the one used to seed the playoff field in the first place)? What team is Shepherd most likely to play?

Same formula but with all the foregoing games included. Shepherd will most likely play at Ferris.

Assuming that Mines holds on to win, I would think Sheperd would have to go to Ferris in the final four. Ferris was the number 1 team in every poll at the end of the regular season and would more than likely be the #1 seed of the remaining teams. With 3 of the #1 seeds advancing, Shepherd would be considered the new 4th seed by default.

So Shepherd at Ferris State in one semifinal, Valdosta vs Mines in the other.

It's a close call for the #1 spot between Ferris State and Valdosta State, but I think Valdosta has the edge. Shepherd will be the #3 and Colorado Mines the #4.

Stupid old man stuff, please avert your eyes !!

Purely a guess but given that all #1 seeds are in they'll fall back on SOS and peek at the rankings and of course travel expenditures. I don't have the SOS ratings but the longest trip would be CSM to/from KUTZ at 1705 miles... unlikely. The shortest trip is FSU to/from KUTZ at 732 miles... likely. Next closest is KUTZ to/from VSU at 916 miles...also likely. In between we have FSU to/from VSU at 1071 miles... possible. Finally FSU to/from CSM....also possible. My crazy, unbiased, unscientific guess is CSM @ VSU and KUTZ @ FSU.

Didn't Shepherd win? I swear I saw them throw a TD with no time on the clock

They did.

[OldBison]

I think everybody knows it will be Valdosta vs Shepherd and Ferris vs Mines.

[Brandon]

My group is thinking Mines at Valdosta and Shepherd at Ferris.

[Uwfalum98]

When do they announce it?

[Nick - Shep '05]

When will the official seeding be announced?

[Wallst]

My group is thinking Mines at Valdosta and Shepherd at Ferris.

Seems pretty easy to me. Sheperd is the only non #1 seed to make it and Ferris is the overall #1 seed.

Uh, how do you know that? No overall was ever determined and the metric has changed since end of regular season. Shep is likely on the road, but it's not due to their seed in the region.
