Hence why we agreed there would be an asterisk. You pot stirring is sorely lacking 88.

Sorry I upset you Eeyore. The asterisk might not be as big as pre-82 but this season has been a sh!tshow and IMO the asterisk is still substantial and there are posters who would argue against it (BDkkk - Does Alabama have an asterisk next to their NC this past Jan?). You're free to have your own opinion just like you think that Flacco was as good as Russell Wilson.

Why Eeyore in this case? I'm happy the Hens are playing well. Neither GF nor I are upset by your poking on this topic so not sure why you're poking Hens fans. Seems like you should focus on BDK.

Auto-Bids:

Big Sky: Weber State
Big South: Kennesaw State
CAA: James Madison
MEAC: SC State
MVFC: North Dakota State
NEC: Duquesne
OVC: Murray State
Patriot: Holly Cross
Pioneer: Davidson
SoCon: VMI
Southland: Sam Houston State

Likely At-Large Bids:

Big Sky: Eastern Washington
CAA: Delaware, Richmond
MVFC: North Dakota, South Dakota State

Need Help:

Big Sky: UC Davis
CAA: Villanova
MVFC: SW Missouri State
OVC: Jacksonville State, Austin Peay
SoCon: E. TN State, Mercer
Southland: Incarnate Word, Nicholls State
SWAC*: AR-Pine Bluff, Jackson State

*That's if the SWAC doesn't bother with a bowl game, as I've seen a hint for. If they don't, and the NCAA grants the SWAC an auto-bid, I think it will go to AR-Pine Bluff, which would likely snag an at-large bid away from (likely) SD State. I don't think the MEAC has enough games to get an auto-bid, so if they're eliminated and the SWAC then gets an auto-bid, then I think Jackson State would be well into the mix for an at-large, particularly if some fo those I mentioned in the Need Help section stumble in the next couple of weeks.

I don't think any others are in the conversation, but you guys might beg to differ.

The word has wins against 3 ranked opponents. If the beat Sam, both get in.

4 teams have 1 loss, Missouri St, SDSU, NDSU and UND

If UND wins, there is a 3-way tie for the conference title. Either NDSU or SDSU would have 2 conference losses.

SuperHornet wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 12:09 pm The NCAA announced the use of host sites due to COVID. I think this announcement (08 APR) is a bit presumptuous, given the shakeups that took place this past weekend, but here they are:

Delaware
E. Washington
Jacksonville State
JMU
Kennesaw State
Maine
SW Missouri State
Murray State
North Dakota
NDSU
Sam Houston State
SDSU
Villanova
Weber State

The NCAA has confirmed 10 auto-bids and six at-large bids. Eight of these will be chosen to host first round games, allegedly NOT to be influenced by schools actually chosen to participate. (So we could theoretically see Duquesne vs. Weber at Kennesaw?!? Yeah, right!) Twelve will be chosen to host QF/SF games. As we previously knew, the Finals are set for Frisco, TX, Sun 16 May, on ABC. ESPN and related networks will broadcast all of the preliminaries.

I wanted to include Davis for three BSC teams, but I just couldn't. Also, I don't know if they're doing four 1-4 pods, seeding 1-16, or doing 4 or 8 and placing others around them. I'm doing four 1-4 pods. JMU is my top #1 seed. Unfortunately, I don't see any HBCUs getting an at-large this year....

1 JMU vs 4 Holy Cross
2 Jacksonville State vs 3 E. TN State

1 NDSU vs. 4 Sacred Heart
2 Sam Houston State vs. 3 VMI

1 Weber State vs. 4 San Diego
2 Delaware vs. 3 Murray State

1 SDSU vs. 4 Monmouth
2 North Dakota vs. 3 E. Washington

If this pans out, I see:

JMU d. Holy Cross
Jax State d. E TN State (JMU d. Jax State)

NDSU d. Sacred Heart
Sam Houston State d. VMI (NDSU d. Sam Houston State)

Weber State d. San Diego
Delaware d. Murray State (Weber State d. Delaware)

Monmouth d. SDSU
E. Washington d. North Dakota (E. Washington d. Monmouth)

JMU d. E. Washington
Weber State d. NDSU

JMU d. Weber State (I want to be wrong about this one, though....)

-You do know ETSU just lost to Mercer, has zero chance of getting the So-Con AQ , or at 4-2 in the So-Con with no game Sat, virtually no chance an At-Large for that matter?
-You do know that JSU has clinched the OVC, Murray St has lost back to back OVC games, and has virtually no chance at an at large out of the OVC?
-You do know that all Davidson has to do to clinch the Pioneer is beat winless Stetson?

You have:
1st round HC @ JMU (plane trip)
VMI @ SHSU (plane trip).
Murray State @ UD (plane trip)
Sacred Heart @ NDSU (plane trip)
Monmouth @ SDSU (plane trip)


-VMI and JMU 57 miles apart
-Sacred Heart and HC 113 miles apart
-UD and Monmouth are 123 miles apart

Yet you act as if geography means nothing to the NCAA. How drunk were you when you posted this?
