The 2014 Edition of My Team Got Screwed by the Selection Committee Thread

Re: The 2014 Edition of My Team Got Screwed by the Selection Committee Thread

It doesn't matter what I think. The way the committe was ranking Plattsburgh all along shows where the Cards' fit into the overall picture. Which was/is puzzling to me but it is what it is. Plattsburgh's L25 and losing in conference semis were their downfall

Bit of a difference playing scorching hot Oswego than playing Castleton, wouldn't you say?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the Cards ranked 1, 3, 7 in the NCAA rankings...something like that. I think you're going to see Trinity plummet like the Cards did last week (not that we'll know). I think Norwich's slight 3-3-0 vs 2-3-1 record vs. ranked and 4-2-1 vs. 4-3-0 isn't significant enough to overcome the WIN, H2H and COP. I think it was a costly loss for both Norwich and Trinity yesterday. We shall soon see just how costly.

What did Plattsburgh do yesterday to improve their standing? I don't see Plattsburgh as any more in the mix than I see Utica getting Pool B. Once the committee has dropped you, you tend to stay dropped.

Same question can be asked about Norwich. I'm not saying that Plattsburgh is going to make it, frankly I highly highly doubt they do, but Norwich did nothing yesterday to cement their spot in the tournament.

The only team I see replacing Geneseo or Trinity is Eau-Claire.

I was referring to Norwich's semi-final opponent Castleton. That's what I was drawing a comparison to. Playing Castleton or Oswego in your respective semi's. Had Norwich had the misfortune of playing a Oswego team in their semi's ,.... well you know.

Just keep on believing...

I don't know if Norwich is going to get in or not, but I think they are more likely than Plattsburgh. Since they didn't play at all this week, they are the most likely to drop off the rankings altogether and be replaced by somebody else. Norwich may drop, but probably not all the way off.

Going back to the ECAC East is weak rhetoric? All that aside I still don't think Norwich gets a bid tonight...

Yes the Sunyac knows, not so sure Norwich gets it though!

This is Selection Launch Control

12 minutes to launch and the clock is running!
 
Re: The 2014 Edition of My Team Got Screwed by the Selection Committee Thread

Over the years I have had no problem conceding Norwich having a better team than Plattsburgh. This is not one of those years.

I agree with you. Platty was the best team I saw this year.
 
Re: The 2014 Edition of My Team Got Screwed by the Selection Committee Thread

Wow, both SUNYAC have to play Wednesday.
 
Re: The 2014 Edition of My Team Got Screwed by the Selection Committee Thread

Trinity gets the hook. Also, Bowdoin-Oswego is a GO.
 
Re: The 2014 Edition of My Team Got Screwed by the Selection Committee Thread

Trinity went from #1 in the East to out in less than a week. Wow... How were they ever #1 if they dropped out that quickly?
