NCAA Schedule Adjustment

[Buffalo/Islander Alum]

For next year the number of games for playoffs has been changed to 7.

Ah ok thanks for the clarification. Premise stays the same. Go undefeated and remove all doubt.

I think you have to have at least 8 or 9 D2 games to be eligible for the playoffs? If so you better go 8-0. Anything less you lose a tiebreaker to everyone else especially if you are a GNAC team. Maybe those playoffs rules will be relaxed for this year as well.

Wouldn't that be nearly impossible to make playoffs through if you've got 7 vs others having 10?

Right, but most teams have multiple out of conference games. We can drop one and be at 10, but what if all of ours want to drop, then we are at 7 and suddenly multiple games short and screwed in playoff scenarios because they backed out?

I'd think in our particular position it'd make the most sense to drop Azusa seeing as how closed off California is, but who knows.

I think the GNAC teams will get hurt for sure. The LSC could just cancel all games except conference games and be fine. 7 D2 games without traveling far and playoff eligible. I hope it does not happen but I see this sort of scenario could happen.

The Lone Star is going to be a mess in other sports just due to the size of the conference.

It could get ugly for Azusa, our first game - I would think we would drop them also.

OOC games will be dropped from the schedule first. Then those with silo schedules only have to cut 1 game. GNAC is going to have the toughest time just trying to get to the minimum of 7 games.

Well it'd definitely give everyone a higher winning %. ;)

So how will teams decide which ones get cancelled? I have a feeling this is going to cause some ugly schedule issues

It should work if every one just drops Commerce.

The schedule reductions include all sports.
