No. A separate committee associated with the football playoffs, not the NCAA, does that, as I understand it.

That sounds about right. And most of that revenue comes from the BB TV contract.

Oh man imagine a 7 game Harris Cup final series every year between SNC and Adrian. I mean I know how that would turn out this year, but it would be a thing of beauty.

Amazingly, Adrian, Eau Claire and Hobart are tied in RPI with only one game left before selections. Hobart is currently fourth in the PWR, I assume because it wins the comparison over Eau Claire on common opponents (Hobart beat St. John's while the Johnnies tied UWEC). That means, at least for now Hobart is in line to host the first-round of the 3-4-5 group of death.
As I see it ...
First round
Adrian at Hobart
St. Thomas at Lake Forest
Plymouth at Endicott
Babson at Trinity
Quarterfinals
Adrian/Hobart at Geneseo
Babson/Trinity at Utica
Plymouth/Endicott at Norwich
St. Thomas/Lake Forest at Eau-Claire
Semis
Norwich pod vs Genseo pod
Utica pod vs UWEC pod
I'm guessing here, but I think Trinity needs to win tomorrow to be in. Williams lost about .004 off its RPI with its loss to Wesleyan today, and the Bantams' lead over Babson is just .0029. It's going to be close either way.
If Trinity wins it's also going to be very close between Trinity and Endicott for #7. That's looking like the difference between hosting #10 Babson or #40 Plymouth State in the first round.
It should also be noted that Hobart has a win over Trinity so if the Bantams win that RPI bump would all but assure Hobart of finishing ahead Adrian and hosting next weekend. If Trinity loses the Statesmen are probably headed to Michigan.

Trinity loss kills Hobart...Statesmen drop from 4th to 6th and now might be looking at a trip to Adrian instead of hosting them...

Knocks Point out of the field, too, doesn't it?
Gotta love those tourney AQ's.

UWSP was never in the field. The team that is out is Trinity. UWSP needed to beat UWEC to have a chance at the field. Considering the fact that the first 9 teams in the PWR are all in the field, I'd say the system worked as it should.

Wasn't Point the final team in, as of last night?
Learning the D-3 calculus is sort of like attending a divinity school.
Essentially a waste of time and energy.

The RPI includes the Opponents' Winning Percentage and the Opponents' Opponnents' Winning Percentage. Even when you are eliminated, some of your opponents and their opponents continue to play. This means your RPI (the main factor) in the PWR will continue to change up or down, depending on how your opponents do. Your ranking is interconnected with them. There is a math discipline known as graph theory that explains some of how all this works theoretically. I have a master's degree in graph theory.

Okay, beginning to make some sense. I think I played too many games without my helmet! I'm glad that there are people like you who can have this make sense! However, the common sense in me says that there is something wrong with a team sitting around letting someone else do your work, though!

Re: 2019-20 pwr
Considering the PWR is the sole method used to select the field, it stands to reason that all of the top teams in it through the four at-large teams would be selected.
