Regional Rankings

Why is Valdosta ranked 3rd nationally and West Alabama 14, but West Alabama in ahead in the regional rankings with a lost to Valdosta without a loss. Does not compute.

Maybe SOS through games played.

Likely a big factor. Valdosta's SOS is currently 39th out of 45 teams in the region.

Most likely.
DSU/VSU this Saturday might help The Blazers, unless..........

The UWA - VSU game was cancelled due to Hurricane, so there's no head to head. UWA does have a win over West Florida and they've both beaten North Greenville. The last two games will determine everything. Wingate opponents are a combined 4-12, UWA 4-11 and VSU 11-5

UWA also has a win over Miles, who is 9th in the regional rankings

Because the national rankings are pointless in D-II...

A truer statement has never been uttered.

boyblue, where are you getting those numbers from? I just looked at all of UWA's opponents and their records, and it comes to a combined 32-34.

Not sure I disagree with you. I believe VSU should be #1 right now.

I know that the numbers do not match the point I was making, I must have gotten VSU and UWA records backwards. The point I was making is that we hadn't played anyone and UWA had played a tougher schedule.

There are like maybe 10 of us that post to the GSC forum regularly, why are you coming at me guy, can't we all just get along? In terms of the calculation of win loss record, I can't figure out what I was calculating, because at that time teams had all played more than 12/13 games. My apology, it was some bad math.

My good friend Emelle, up north of Livingston agrees and hopes they will be soon.
That way UWA has a decent chance to get in round 2

That being said, if UWF beats VSU, he ain't gonna cry.

I wouldn't mind a good loss (i.e. no injuries in a competitive game), that is unless a win gets us the 1 seed
