That is most certainly not what you implied with your post. Especially by saying you had a source. Why would you need a source for regional rankings when Williams would obviously be ahead of Plattsburgh due to head-to-head. Do you just make this up as you go?

Because you (I thought) were implying that Plattsburgh got compared to UWSP. That never happened.
BTW, it was not obvious that Wiiliams beat out Plattsburgh just because of head to head. All the primary criteria were considered, and it was very close as many here assumed it would be. But as many assumed, Wiiliams won that comparison, but it was not obvious (they did look at secondary criteria, BTW.)

8 v 9 at 1 the day before... I like it! Doesn't inappropriately award 8 with a home game, and ensure 1 plays the lowest remaining seed AND that 1 plays the team that's slightly tired from playing 24 hours earlier

Prez I am wondering the same thing. You might as well use a crystal ball when it comes to the NCAA.

There's that, and there's the current NHL CBA that encourages early departures at the D-1 level. Even mediocre programs suffer defections regularly, and the better programs are revolving doors, creating more roster-spaces in D-1 for borderline talent.

Re: 2016 NCAA Tournament Thread
Good point. I forgot about that. I hate the unintended consequences of the way the NHL CBA was written.
If a player wants to leave early, all the power to him. It's his choice, best of luck to him. But, the situation of nearly forcing players to leave early, even those who wish to stay in school and get an actual degree, is just plain wrong.

Re: 2016 NCAA Tournament Thread
None of the pro leagues care about colleges. The worst system is the NBA system that encourages the one and done. It forces kids that have no intention of seriously attending classes to take up space on college campuses that would best be spent on kids at least pretending to be student-athletes.

Re: 2016 NCAA Tournament Thread
I have no doubt whatsoever that there was anything unintended about it. The owners wanted this situation to exist, because it gave them a ton of leverage to use against the kids.
This is just another example of the Bettman's complete lack of vision. First, he inexplicably blew the ESPN contract that gave the NHL an unprecedented degree of national exposure, then he allowed the short-sighted owners to push through a provision that guts the NCAA game of star-power and hamstrings the growth of the sport at it's grass roots. Nobody really wins, but nothing he does surprises me. He's the worst commissioner of any sport, ever.

Fun waiting for Saturday. Face it. It's pretty quiet around here with NOP out on the golf course.
Re: 2016 NCAA Tournament Thread
Why would Gary Bettman (and more accurately the owners of the NHL) care about the NCAA star-power? It's the same with all of the pro leagues. The NCAA is not a concern of theirs. All of their rules are for the owner's benefit, not the NCAA. It's led in recent years to systems that are absolutely to the detriment of NCAA in hockey, basketball, and, to a lesser extent, football.
