Harding jumped in Regional Poll

Re: Harding jumped in Regional Poll

Best case scenario for GAC is to have Washburn beat Pitt State and Truman beat MUS&T (and have all other games go chalk). It's also probably not all that unlikely. GAC would then get 3 teams in by virtue of having three of the seven two(or fewer)-loss teams in the region.

+2

Correct. Unlikely imo, but correct.

+1

GV, PITT, S and T, Ferris, OBU, SAU, Hays, NW, and Indy all have 1-2 games left that it wouldn't be a huge surprise if they lost.

It would be kind of a weird scenario if a team in the top 10 in the region with two weeks left didn't have at least one game remaining that wouldn't be a huge surprise if they won, wouldn't it?

Not surprising...at least in the GAC it seems the rivalry games are at the end of the year. Just as they should be. Those are games where you never know what might happen.

If SAU loses, Do Pitt and HU jump them if they both win? Does SAU losing to a middle of the pack team hurt them more than beating 9-2 harding helps them?

Using last year's GV v Harding results, it appears a "quality win" carries much more weight than a "bad loss."

And the 2-2-2-1 deal of course.

The 2-2-2-1 deal is basically necessary to separate Pitt State and Harding, because neither has a quality win or a bad loss yet.

Is Harding in now? #7 FHSU beat #4 NWMO but #6 SAU and #8 PSU also lose. You would think NWMO still in but Harding likely #7 one would assume?
