Re: D3 18-19 season
Originally posted by Birdwatcher View PostUCHC does not have an auto bid. Looks like Elmira would be B and UWRF would be a C.
So it would be
Pool A:
MIAC: St. Thomas
NCHA: Adrian
NEWHL: Plattsburgh
NEHC: Norwich
CHC: Endicott
NESCAC: Williams
Pool B: Elmira
Pool C: UW-River Falls
Pool C: Hamline
Pool C: UW-Eau Claire
Seeds Done By PairWise Rank
1 Plattsburgh (1)
2 St. Thomas (2)
3 Elmira (3t)
4 UW-River Falls (3t)
5 Hamline (5)
6 Adrian (6t)
7 Williams (6t)
8 UW-Eau Claire (8)
9 Norwich (10)
10 Endicott (12)

Re: D3 18-19 season
Taking it a step further (and assuming that whomever is #1 will dictate which region avoids the first round)...
First round:
8 UW Eau Claire @ 2 St. Thomas
5 Hamline @ 4 UW River Falls
QF
10 Endicott @ 1 Plattsburgh
6 Adrian @ 3 Elmira
9 Norwich @ 7 Williams
8 UW Eau Claire / 2 St. Thomas vs 5 Hamline / 4 UW River Falls
Not a very appealing bracket. Almost enough to make me rethink my premise. Will the committee prioritize giving the #1 seed the bye (and bringing the #7, #9, and #10 seeds along for the ride) or do they give #2, #4, #5, and #8 the bye instead?Steve

If St Thomas wins the MIAC they will have played PW#11 in Gustavus and PW #5 in Hamline to win the MIAC.
Where Plattsburgh will play #27 Oswego and either #25 Potsdam or #17 Cortland.
Would that be enough to shift it back to St Thomas for the #1?
In my opinion the lowest seeds should be playing in the first round, but who knows.
Also there'll probably be at least 1 upset and throw everything out of whack. Like if Oswego wins the NEWHL :P :P
My other random question...that was probably discussed a long time ago. Why does the NEWHL get an autobid with only 5 teams?UWS Ladyjackets

Originally posted by Birdwatcher View PostIt was decided because they were tossed from the ECACW now UCHC with they would be allowed an auto bid for two years while securing the needed teams which they will have accomplished by next season.
In terms of upsets, the best thing to happen would be for Morrisville to come out of the CHC instead of Endicott. At that point there is a good argument for waiving the flight requirement as it's 523 miles and then bus Morrisville to Adrian as one of the first round games. Then first round could be Morrisville at Adrian and Eau Claire at Hamline.
If Plattsburgh gets punched in the face in the NEWHL they'd end up bumping out one of the western Pool C teams (River Falls, Hamline or Eau Claire).Last edited by Scott_TG; 02-20-2019, 12:30 PM.

Re: D3 18-19 season
Originally posted by shelfit View PostAnd they accomplish that by adding Morrisville and Canton, correct? If that's correct then that means the Colonial conference dŕops down to 5 teams. Do they lose their autobid or are they adding two teams somehow?
Unless there's some qualifier I'm not aware of that they don't meet to get the grace period, CHC would have two seasons with the autobid and if they don't get back to 7 for the third (21-22), they lose it.

I'll be a homer here and say...if that were the case, wouldn't that make even more of a case for the other 1st round to be Norwich at Williams?
I know this whole discussion is pretty pointless because the NCAA will just do whatever it wants, which will likely include not risking having to fly 3 west teams to Plattsburgh.

Originally posted by shelfit View PostDo they have any prospective teams (either existing teams or possible new programs) they might be adding before the two-year grace period ends?
Otherwise, their best bet is to hope the CCC schools that play men's hockey start playing women's hockey and they can become the women's CCC. Of their remaining member's only Becker doesn't compete in the CCC full time and they are an Associate Member for both men's ice hockey and football so it would fit. The CCC schools fielding men's teams but not women's teams are Curry, Wentworth and Western New England. Curry has a women's club team but the other two would be starting from scratch.
