Thank you iBosbu for clearing that up. One more question. What Ranking model is used to determine at the end of the Championships, who gets paired up with who ??

I am not too sure with this question. I think I read some where that they take into account mainly RPI and also considers Sagarin and Pomeroy ratings. Lately BPI is also looked at due ESPN holding so much influence in College Sports.

Hope that helps, Hammertime. Someone with more knowledge in seeding can perhaps chip in and clear it for us all.

Stony Brook #13 in ESPN Mid-Major Power Rankings for the 1st time!!!

http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/77559/mid-major-report-power-rankings-11

WOW !!! You gotta love it !!! Is his rankings the same is the BPI. RPI etc.. ?? Could it change who we verse in the Tourney, assuming we get that far !!

No effect - similar to the influence of most rating systems outside the RPI. For the mid/low majors the NCAA committee goes pretty strictly by RPI unless there's a marquee win (so the public might be mildly interested).

I expect a few of the 14's to fall, so we'll likely end there. Maybe 13 if enough upsets happen.

More interested in what's going down in Boston in a couple of hours....

Silly question...  Why is SB only playing 29 games when most other teams play 31 ?????

RealTime RPI: 69


This is impressive. We are pulling a Baseball "schocker" type season right now. This is a legit RPI ranking. God please help us get across the AE Tourney. Just three games to win and we can possibly be a 13 seeded team (hypothetical 26-6)

ESPN is still showing us at 72 but regardless, This really is impressive and too bad we lost that bizarre game to Hartford after the storm otherwise, we could be flirting with RPI in the 50's... Imagine that !!!!!!

I dont know. but i don't wanna get carried away. I'm trying to put all my energies toward an SBU Ae tourney championship. The more I think about it, the more worried I get. and I'm not even one of the players....

I completely understand that but, SBB so far can handle Albany. So I think we should get thru game 1 and 2. Lets see who we play in 3 at home! Vermont ????! I think this is the year SBB makes it to the Tourney.

Same here... I am not looking at NCAA until we win the AE tourney! That is my personal goal for Seawolves this year. Anything more, is just cherry on the top!

Im with you guys. Win the next three one game at a time. Hey  maybe we face Maine Sunday a little easier than the Danes.  It is tough to beat a conference opponent  three straight.

We have knocked Albany out the past two years - so are 8 and 0 against them.  Could show we have their number and it could mean that they are finally due.  Not sure how to take it.

New ESPN Bracketology out today and Lunardi still has us as a 14 seed facing Michigan State in Auburn Hills, MI.

He did move us from the East to the South which means we will have to travel a bit farther when we make the Sweet 16!!!

I like your style of thinking GoWolvesGo....I'm not sure about the sweet 16 but I'll be happy just making it to the 64!!!
