The NCAA SR4 regional rankings that came out this past week have 4 Lone Star Conference teams ranked ahead of CSUP, as follows: 3 (Central Washington), 4 (UT-Permian Basin), 8 (Angelo State) and & 10 (Texas A&M Kingsville).
The NCAA committee ranked only 2 teams from the RMAC in the SR4 rankings, as follows: 1 (Colorado Mines) and 2 (Western Colorado).
Why did the LSC get 4 teams while the RMAC got only 2?
Does it not make a difference that the RMAC beat the LSC in head-to-head play 5 to 3?
What about the fact that Angelo State and Kingsville scheduled only 10 instead of 11 games like all RMAC teams?
Angelo State and Kingsville have 3 losses like CSUP. Would CSUP have been ranked ahead of Angelo State and Kingsville had it not played and lost to Grand Valley, therefore having only 2 losses?
And what difference, if any, does it make that the teams CSUP lost to are ranked 1, 2 and 15 nationally according to D2Football, and 1, 2 and 13 according to the Coaches poll?
Does it make a difference that the 3 teams CSUP lost to have a combined record of 28 wins and 2 losses?
And another thing, UT-Permian Basin thumped Central Washington today, the number 1 ranked team in the LSC going into the weekend. Western Colorado beat UT-Permian Basin handily. Is the LSC overrated in the SR4 rankings?
Why did the committee place 4 teams in the SR4 regional rankings ahead of CSUP?
Apparently the aforementioned factors don’t make a difference. The NCAA formula for post selection play is clear as mud.
Going forward, HC Phil Vigil and CSUP cannot leave post season play to the discretion of the NCAA selection committee. Al Davis had it right when he said, “Just win, baby?” Oh, and maybe, just play 10 games.
