Re: UCHC Playoffs
Originally posted by NUProf View PostFish evidently thinks there is no need for a national tournament, after that's just a meaningless series of games, too.
I just would prefer that the field was chosen on a more objective basis. (For example, top-12 PW, irrespective of conference-affiliation.)
Don't you -as a statistician- agree on that point on a logical basis?
(Don't pander to the LCD on that one, please. You know you know.)

If Utica loses in the UCHC tournament, they likely do not need a PWR “perfect storm” to get in either.
Wilkes is #17 in the PW. Not in the field if they don't get an AQ... But why is Wilkes even in the discussion at this juncture?
Utica, of course, is safely in in any case, on the basis of the RS.
That's my point.Last edited by Fishman'81; 02-26-2020, 08:51 PM.

Re: UCHC Playoffs
Originally posted by NUProf View PostI think your logical disconnect is not recognizing that the national tournament really starts with the league playoffs. Some teams that don't win one of those are given a second chance. The only thing that I would prefer is if there were more at large berths.
I really don't believe that you find that equitable at the end of the day.
You're appealing to the masses on that one.

This current system is extremely stupid. That's fairly indisputable.

Re: UCHC Playoffs
Originally posted by NUProf View PostTake that up with the UCHC and their seeding/selection process for their playoffs. The conferences have the freedom to determine how their rep is chosen.
And (I think) that all the conferences buy-into the Emperor's New Clothes BS.
That makes absolutely no sense, and you know it.
