2023 D3 Bracketology

Considering SNC has played in nine national championship games and won five, no. Especially when you consider that SNC is 2-2 in common opponents with Utica at 0-2-1. The UCHC is terrible and I will believe Utica is worthy of its pairwise stature when/if they ever back it up for a change.

Aren't they tied at 82?

Yes , but Utica has a small edge in RPI , which is probably a tie breaker [TABLE="cellspacing: 0"]

Utica would be the current #1 seed by .0076 of a point over Hobart

Still lots of hockey to be played, but if Utica wins their last 4, it'll be pretty hard to pass them at this point

Then just go with neutral site selections and forego the campus site selections all together. And it can stop these endless Utica b*tch*ng sessions.

Come on, Russ.

How many times has the W been screwed out of a berth, simply because it was one team short of an AQ?

Yes, that was a while ago, but it happened rather frequently.

How about this: the PW selects the field, and sites the field, and if a certain school doesn't like it, that school can just stay home.

It remains basically moronic, how D-3 hockey does it. Better than it used to be, but still way dumb and inequitable.
 
With only one game on the schedule for Sunday, I'm pretty confident that this wouldn't change with that outcome, so here is your final bracketology of the regular season:

CCC: Endicott (3)
MASCAC: Plymouth State (6)
MIAC: St. Scholastica (24)
NCHA: Adrian (T-4)
NEHC: Hobart (T-1)
NESCAC: Amherst (20)
SUNYAC: Oswego (12)
UCHC: Utica (T-1*)
WIAC: Stevens Point (10)

At-Large:

Curry (T-4*)
Plattsburgh (7)
UNE (8)

Where it gets tough here is with Endicott not having a bye, that leaves 3 CCC teams in the first round with 3 all-East games happening, so you have to split those three up, and we had to flip two teams (Curry and Plymouth State) to make it work, but I think this is still a good bracket all things considered

First Round:

Oswego @ Adrian
Amherst @ Endicott
Plattsburgh @ Curry
UNE @ Plymouth State

Quarterfinals:

UNE/Plymouth State @ Utica
Oswego/Adrian @ Hobart
Plattsburgh/Curry @ Amherst/Endicott
St. Scholastica @ Stevens Point

Your response had absolutely nothing to do with my post. Which is typical of your shouting at the clouds rant.

And as for your typical post, the D3 schools want this system. And it’s for all sports. The NCAA doesn’t pull rules out of their butts. They make rules based on what the membership wants.

And for some reason you can never understand this concept. The schools want these type of selection rules which includes AQs for all eligible conferences. (BTW, I could never understand the moronic argument that a conference was just one team short. There has to be a limit. Otherwise there could be a two team conference and they would get an AQ. A limit is a limit. Everyone knows it, and if you can’t meet it, too bad.)

So go scream somewhere else. Nobody is listening to you anymore.

Remember, Elmira and Hobart did play last year in the first round. When three teams from one conference are in, it’s hard to avoid that.
