I hoping that Karl can pop on here and clear this up.

Southwestern went 7-0 in conference so they have the 1 seed. But, there is a three way tie for second.

UTA, Trinity and SEU all went 5-2 in conference. In contests between those three teams each squad went 1-1 with UTA losing to Trinity, Trinity losing to SEU and SEU losing to UTA. What are the tiebreakers used to determine seeding?

Gary I'm pretty sure its goals for and against. I want to say its goal differential, but can't remember right now.

Has Trinity Played AC?

In the event of a tie, the first tiebreaker shall be the results of head-to-head competition between the two teams during the current regular season. If this does not produce a solution, the second tiebreaker shall be overall goal differential in required LSA play during the current regular season. Plus of minus goal differentials in excess of 5 shall not count toward the tiebreaker for more than 8 goals. The third tiedbreaker shall be a coin flip, with the Division B President flipping the coin in the presence of at least one other member from a different school present.

Not that I know of, no score has been reported.

Thanks to multiple Division B teams not fulfilling schedules it will make the playoff positioning difficult to unravel.

I would highly suggest that Trinity and AC let us know when they plan on playing.

Yes, Trinity defeated AC, 15-1 on February 18; Trinity and SFA did not play yesterday. AC and TCU were scheduled to play last Saturday, but it did not take place as well.

Karl, I sent you some emails a few minutes ago.

Brent,

Thanks for the update on the Trinity v. AC game.

I take it then that a game report will be forthcoming by both Trinity and AC.

Is OU going to be in division A next year?

Are we at a point yet were the B division playoff matchups can be announced?

OU asked to be moved up for next year. I think Alex is doing a great job with that program.

OU will officially move up at the fall meeting.

I heard (unconfirmed) that SFA had forfeited the Trinity game. if that's true, how is the goal differential for that game calculated? is the 1-0 score used for that as well?

of course, i also remember reading (in relation to Duke's decision to cancel its season), that, under NCAA rules, a forfeit is not a "forfeit" until declared so by an official at the game site (or something like that). otherwise, it'd just be a "no contest."
