First round picks? Ok heres mine:

HU over WWU
Dayton over UCI
UNC over Calvin
Emory over FLC

Second round picks are unbearable for me. I have no clue at all. Every team is legit after that.

No upsets?! :D


I hope to see Dayton vs. UST and Montana vs. Westminster. Both would be pretty exciting I think.


I don't like how the brackets ended up though.
-both UMLL teams on same side of bracket
-all 3 RMLC teams on same side of bracket
-UNC/Calvin and (possible) SJU/Harding games would be repeats of last year's tourney


It'd be nice if there was some kind of process to create newer match ups. Maybe have four #1 seeds, four #2 seeds, and four #3 seeds. Then put together the bracket.

Here's what I think that might look like for this year:
Left side:
SJU vs. winner Emory/Calvin
Montana vs. winner Harding/Fort Lewis
Right side:
Westminster vs. winner Dayton/Irvine
UST vs. winner UNC/WWU

-Has possible #2 vs. #5 game in 2nd rd, but we still don't know much about Dayton this year. I believe it was someone from both Carnegie Mellon and Calvin that said Dayton was pretty legit, but all they have to compare is their games against early season SJU and UST squads (respectively). And I don't believe early season counts for as much.
-The only non-championship game that would be a repeat of '07 regular season or '06 tourney would be Westminster vs. UNC in semis.
-Keeps #1 and #2 on opposite sides of bracket.

I don't think you're ever going to get the best match ups no matter what system you use, but I think because the B Div. overall doesn't do as tough of an OOC schedule as the A does, this would be the most exciting method.
