SH's Playoff Predictions
Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2014 6:57 pm
No seed predictions here, and this is not intended to be a ranking. And, yes, after my Hornets won Causeway, I considered them, but I just couldn't get past the six counters (one of which is specious in that Incarnate Word is still nothing more than a D-II (Abilene proved a little tougher than that). I DO have at least two odd picks at the end. (I actually gave a second bid to the Pioneer and the MEAC, something I would rarely do.) I just couldn't find a fourth Sky team worth a bid. MVC and CAA actually picked my pocket for FOUR, though. FYI: SFA disqualified themselves by losing to Abilene Christian, and Lamar only had six counters, some of which weren't all that impressive (including Incarnate Word and Abilene).
1. Liberty (8-4, 4-1) - Big South AQ
2. Coastal Carolina (11-1, 4-1) - Big South #2
3. EWU (10-2, 7-1) - Big Sky AQ
4. Montana (8-4, 6-2) - Big Sky #2
5. Montana State (8-4, 6-2) - Big Sky #3
6. UNH (10-1, 8-0) - CAA AQ
7. Villanova (10-2, 7-1) - CAA #2
8. JMU (9-3, 6-2) - CAA #3
9. Richmond-B&M Winner (8-4, 5-3) - CAA #4
10. Morgan State (7-5, 6-2) - MEAC AQ
11. NC A&T (9-3, 6-2) - MEAC #2
12. NDSU (11-1, 7-1) - MVC AQ (I'm guessing here, since NDSU tied with IL State, and they didn't play. MVC fans can elucidate the tie-breaker procedure.)
13. IL State (10-1, 7-1) - MVC #2
14. UNI (8-4, 6-2) - MVC #3
15. SD State (8-4, 5-3) - MVC #4
16. Sacred Heart (92-, 5-1) - NE AQ
17. Jax State (10-1, 8-0) - OVC AQ
18. E KY (9-3, 6-2) - OVC #2
