for that first round, yeah the #1 & #2 get the far lower rated opponents, although one could argue #1 getting #42 Fort Valley State is one additional level an easier path than getting #23 Belmont Abbey, the CC top teams are a higher level. either would be in a shocker upset anyway and pretty sure the committee will desire to keep Big West & MPSF teams on oppposite sides of the brackets, just how they justify that could be interesting (or funny perhaps). I can't see how a committee could straight faced keep Irvine #4 and GCU #3 if Irvine wins and GCU loses tonight, other than going with KPI, and that's a bout it, lol. when the KPI & SOS could be used to make GCU #2 and Beach #3 right now. I mean GCU would be 0-5 vs. the top five and IRvine 5-5 and IRvine with the best SOS (the argument that would be used to make to keep UCLA #1), just would be funny to see them use one metric to make one decision, and then ignore the same metric to make a different decision on another team. it's always an element of entertainment to see committees justify certain decision Right, whatever they see fit! My preference is always to have the two conferences on opposite side of the bracket until the championship match if it gets there. the #3 and #4 are still gonna have to get thru tough matches on the quarters. Ohio State, especially with Pasteur apparently healthy now, should they win the MIVA today is going to make their quarterfinal match a toss up. |

Hawaii’s problem wasn’t its SOS or “growing the game” philosophy. Everyone knew the outcome would have been different if they were fully healthy.

Committee will have some interesting decisions ( don't have KPI SOS, so Massey SOS)
KPI / SOS / tourney teams record / top 12 KPI record / top 12 KPI road/neu record
Beach: 3 / 14 / 4-2 / 5-2 / 1-1
UCLA 1 / 6 / 8-3 / 14-4 / 5-3 (MPSF final gives them an 'away' win)
GCU 2 / 7 / 1-4 / 8-4 / 4-4
Irvine 4 / 2 / 3-4 / 8-6 / 5-6
Ohio St 5 / 16 / 1-4 / 3-6 / 2-3
Penn St 6 / 17 / 2-3 / 3-3 / 2-3
I think they will put UCLA #1, Beach #2.
Beach really needed a couple more tougher road games.
PSU does make it over OSU for #5
would the Committee put GCU over Beach @ #2? that GCU record vs. the top teams is their major issue
with the eye/consistency test
I'd put
Beach #1 (with Godbold healthy again) Big West Reg Season & BWCT champ puts them here
UCLA #2
GCU #3
Ohio State #4 (with Pasteur healthy again)
Irvine #5 (just too hot and cold)
Penn State #6
but the top 3 are really close/tossa-up nd 4-6 are close as well
hopefully do keep the Big West & MSPF teams apart
wouldn't shock to see any of the #3-6 teams advance to the semis
some great OHs
Champlain
Godbold/Siapanis
Gianni
Pasteur
Henno
Kerr
