NCAA Playoffs

The criteria for entry is inconsistent when the teams aren't playing the same amount of games, I'll start and end there...

In the initial Regional Rankings, there are now (3) teams with 10 games (IUP, Charleston, California).

Well, all teams have their choice. They can play 10 games or they can play 11 games.

Plus, there are so many different factors at play you don't know whether it will help or hurt a team.

Not to mention that the system is inconsistent, anyway, because you're ranking teams from 4 different conferences who don't play each other. Also, PSAC comparisons are inconsistent because teams play different teams in the crossover games.

Maybe in 5-10 years this won't be an issue anymore. We'll have enough teams for a league and everybody plays each other every season. I have my doubts how much longer football will survive at some of our schools.

ive been on the board for well over a decade guy, i make the same statement every year... the system is inconsistent. The shoe has been on the other foot, check posts by your fellow alums.


i agree IUPgroundhog. I dont have an answer. It is like the old FBS system, I dont have an exact science, it just needed to be fixed.

Looks like playing an 11th game would have been a good idea.

[ShepFan1]

Scheduling an 11th game can definitely help, if it is not a cupcake. Shepherd scheduled ODU which is not a walk in the park, but won this year. That will probably get them in the playoffs as long as they continue to win.

How so?

I said that generally 3 loss teams don't make the playoffs. I never said it never happens. You're rebuttal made it clear that I was right.

So, it would appear the PSAC is down to #2 KUTZ, #3 SHEP, #4 CAL and likely #7 SRU. still in the hunt. I tried doing ALL the permutations and got a headache. Suffice to say, IMO, it will be SRU @ KUTZ in the SG with the winner finishing 10-1 and the loser 9-2 and both finishing in 1-4 slots. SHEP will finish 10-1 and end up between #3-6 as will CAL with 9-1 which probably means an intra-league #4-5 Game. One each from the other 3 depending how the BENTLEY/UNH and TIFFIN/FINDLAY games go.

That assumes that Kutztown beats West Chester next week and I'm not convinced that will happen, although I hope it does.

What happens if KU loses to WC?

A big mess LOL!!!!!

[ctrabs74]

"The way better team" just lost to one-win Edinboro after choking away a game to California. Your "extra game" argument is moot this season.

I think kutztown clinched the east this weekend because of the head to head with shepherd. If west Chester wins, then kutztown probably has to win the state game to get into the playoffs.

rock vs cal will decide the west representative now. And the winner goes to kutztown. If rock beats Cal, shepherd gets clarion as a replacement.
