Regional Rankings

As of right now there are 4 teams in the region that are undefeated: Mankato, Duluth, Sioux Falls, Ouachita Baptist. There are six teams that only have one loss: Azusa Pacific, Humboldt, Henderson, Harding, Pitt, and of course Northwest. By the time that the final regional rankings come out, there will be at most three undefeated teams: Duluth (since they play an ubber weak schedule), and the winner of Mankato/Sioux Falls (Which I'm guessing will be Mankato.) Ouachita Baptist can be undefeated if they can manage to beat Henderson in the last game of the regular season - which would help clear things up a little bit. If they lose, that would add yet another 1 loss team to the mix.


Here is where it sits today:

NSIC:
Mankato
Duluth
Sioux Falls

MIAA:
NW (-1)
PITT (-1)

GAC:
Henderson (-1)
Harding (-1)
Ouachita Baptist

GNAC:
Azusa Pacific (-1)
Humboldt (-1)


If all of the favorites win out the rest of the season - which is a HUGE if, this is what the record would look like:
NSIC:
Duluth
Sioux Falls/Mankato (-1)

MIAA:
NW (-1)
PITT (-1)

GAC:
Henderson (-1)
Harding (-1)
Ouachita Baptist (-1)

GNAC:
Azusa Pacific (-1)
Humboldt (-1)

Because the NSIC and the MIAA don't play any OOC games, the GAC and GNAC play hardly any - so the typical selection criteria that we've come to know is pretty worthless. Up to this point - the number crunchers have pretty much figured out that the equation consists of Winning % added to Strength of Schedule. So the human element is probably going to come into play more than previous years.

Here are the participants - not sure of the seeding, but I think these will be the participants for Super Region 3.

Duluth
Mankato or Sioux Falls
Pitt
Northwest
