What a bunch of hogwash! One thing for a bunch of internet hacks to speculate on who can do what based on how numbers get manipulated but if the NCAA really is doing this same kind of speculation, round up the lynch mob now.
Regular season is over. If you dont win in playoffs you dont deserve to move on.

Again? Jesus. Tough to be Hobart now. Play pretty well all year, no bad losses and going to be left out possibly in favor of Babson(should Norwich win)? Ouch.

...if they all would just roll their own, the process might not be any faster, but it would be more enjoyable....
Re: NCAA Rankings 2/19/13
There is a great comment on "the other message board" that speculates that Oswego's ranking is purely in case they win the SUNYAC Saturday, it would put the Lakers in position, given the current rankings, to host a potential match-up with Adrian. Since both are three seeds and the last weekend is being held in the east, Oswego would host that game. The further speculation is that should the Lakers lose on Saturday, you'll see their ranking drop enough that they wouldn't get in at all.
All of that makes sense. I know a few Plattsburgh fans keep wondering (myself included) how the Cardinals can be ranked that far below Oswego. This is the most plausable explanation I've heard.

Re: NCAA Rankings 2/19/13
The NC$$ may just be thinking how do we get the teams in that can draw the best crowds as already mentioned. In that case lets give Wick a ticket and well deserved, and have a 4 team minitourney for the other 2 from the East between Hobart, UC, Platty and Oswego with the games of E-West vs SUNYAC. It would be like the old days when the SUNYAC teams were in the ECAC and played in the ECAC tourney also. Just a thought for ponder.
Oswego '88

I read the Bracketology...the thought is that the Eastern Committee is just keeping their options open. I think there is very little chance of Oswego and Adrian meeting.... the east is just covering their bases.
The Bracketology has Owsego and Utica meeting in the quarters....presumably in Oswego.

I looked again... Oswego plays Plymouth State and Utica play Wentworth in Wednesday play-ins. The winner of those games play in a QF game Saturday, March 9th. The winner of that game goes to LP to play the winner of Eau Claire and Saint Johns (or whoever wins the MIAC) in the semis.

As a Laker fan, I like the fact that Oswego faces Plattaburgh this wknd...hopefully moves on to the tournament and using the other site's bracketology, survives and advances out of the play-in game, it will be Oswego v Utica at The Aud for the chance to get to Placid...the opportunity to beat the two teams that beat you twice...awesome.
...attaboy...

Way to come off the bench swinging newbie !! But there is something called a "Pool C" bid in this process, that's what we're speculating on. The conference tourney winners are automatic.

Re: NCAA Rankings 2/19/13
Better yet, the potential matchup with Utica is the weekend they can't host - the game could be in Oswego!

Re: NCAA Rankings 2/19/13
See UC thread - the HS games have been moved in case Utica advances....I believe the game will be in The Aud if both advance and the bracket as suggested is how it plays out...
