This was put together for SR3 with the help of inkblot for the weekend. Regardless of what happens, it will be a bloodbath from the word go in the playoffs for any and all NSIC teams that get in.

Sorry for the multiple posts, this is the correct thread.
Apologies also for the blurriness, I'm not the most tech literate. -
Graphic is hard to read. If I am reading it correctly:
1. Ferris State (In)
2. Northwood (In)
3. Michigan Tech (In)
4. Minnesota State-Mankato (In)
5-8:
Findlay (In), Truman State (In-AQ), and two of Augustana, Davenport, Minnesota-Duluth, Wayne State (NE) and Grand Valley State
Games this weekend (favorites in bold)
Roosevelt at Ferris State
Walsh at Northwood
Wayne State (MI) at Michigan Tech
Minnesota State-Mankato at Minnesota State-Moorhead
Findlay at Tiffin
Wayne State (NE) at Augustana
Grand Valley State at Davenport
Minot State at Minnesota-Duluth
SCENARIOS
1. Augustana & Davenport Win: They take the last two spots (Davenport @ Tech, Augie @ Mankato)
2. Augustana wins & Davenport loses: Duluth gets last spot (if they win), if Duluth also loses, Grand Valley takes final spot (Duluth -or- GVSU @ Tech, Augie @ Mankato)
3. Augustana loses & Davenport wins: Wayne and Davenport get final spots (Davenport @ Tech, Wayne @ Mankato)
4. Augustana & Davenport lose: Wayne and Duluth (if Duluth wins) get final spots (Duluth @ Tech, Wayne @ Mankato)
ROUND 1 GAMES
Truman at Ferris
Findlay at Northwood
Tech could host Davenport, GVSU or Duluth
Mankato could host Augustana or Wayne

Can't tell you how much I hate having conference teams play each other in the first round. It has nothing to do with the fact that the Mavs beat Wayne or lost to Augie. I just hate it. Second round is fine. I like to see someone new.Comment

I don't peruse all of the other boards, but the little that I have over the last few years...I feel like most fans feel the exact same way, no matter the conference. It's really too bad that it always comes down to that.Originally posted by laker View PostComment

Man, I'm right there with you since Augie and MSU have met first round a few times, most recently 2023 and 2024. But, Idk....I see a scenario where Augie goes to Michigan Tech.Originally posted by laker View PostComment

Thank you friend. Sorry about it being blurry again. Yes, this is correct.Originally posted by wscsuperfan View PostComment

Who would play in mankato? Truman is locked against Ferris because of the rule. Findlay would need a flight to Tech or Mankato, so they're all but guaranteed against Northwood. Last two spots have to play at tech, and Mankato.Originally posted by Discopooch View PostComment

There's a strong possibility that ends after this year. From what I've seen in the committee reports, it seems likely that bracketing will no longer be regionalized and first-round matchups between teams in the same conference will be banned. (Selections will still be regionalized, though.)Originally posted by laker View PostComment

I was hoping that if we beat Moorhead that we would host Findley- someone different. Again-avoid conference teams playing each other in the first round. After that- it might be unavoidable, just be glad if your team won.Originally posted by mavsfan98 View PostComment

My predicts (for now...)
Truman St @ Ferris St. (locked in, both are AQs)
Davenport @ Northwood (Northwood AQ)
Findlay @ Mankato (MSU-Mankato AQ assuming they beat Moorhead at the Fargo Dome)
Augie @ Michigan Tech
