DII National Bids

[East Coast]

Any predictions about the bubble teams for DII? Conference champs? I'm not even really sure how the at large bids are decided.

[Gvlax]

per FAQ section. It is the top ranked team to not receive and AQ that gets the bid.

If you go off of tradition in the GRLC, then Harding would be the expected team from the GRLC. Honestly, Anyone of the teams in the GRLC playoffs could take it this year, because the level of play is very competitive among them. Three of which haven't even cracked the top 25 this year, Dordt, SLU, and Wheaton. All three are very good teams capable of getting the AQ.

And of course Elon is already in having won the SELC tournament.

....and Emory is ranked high enough to probably have an At Large coming their way, unless they lose big to Dayton.

I'm not trying to be a jerk here but can someone tell me why a team like Dort is still being called a great team? They were taken in to overtime by a 1-9 team in Augsburg, who is last in the UMLL; and lost to a 5-5 team in Carleton who is fith in the UMLL. Although Augsburg and Carleton are not bad teams, (actually Augsburg has looked good for a start up team) I still don't understand how anyone should be getting top 25 votes for that.

You would have to think that if they beat Dayton, they secure their spot for sure.

Sharkattack:
I wasn't saying that Dordt should be in the top 25, but the fact is they have played everyone withing the conference very well thus far. they did beat Creaighton who was ranked in the top 20 at the time. However, it could have been that Creighton was way overrated. Dordt might show up to the GRLC playoffs and get handled. They haven't played three of the teams that are going. Or, it could be that they scheduled well enough to make it to playoffs or their subdivision is weaker than the other two. I don't know. It does appear, by the numbers, that any one of the teams in the GRLC playoffs can take it.

[SharkAttack08]

Sorry for the confusion......I was just wondering why they were still getting a lot of votes in the polls.

PCLL has an AQ they have enought teams (6) there are 4 AL bids this year

[Gvlax]

i would have to put Elon above Ft. Lewis no matter where they fall on the top 25. more quality wins overall not just top 25.

I would think it would go

Elon
Ft. Lewis
SJU
Emory

Somewhere in the top 10

Where is Emory? I honestly dont see them not making it unless they get blown out by Dayton.

I agree emory is in if they beat or keep it close with dayton (less goals then the Dayton SJU game) and SJU doesnt upset UST in the tourney game if it happens like that. Right now how the poll is set i beleive SJU and Emory are fighting for that last AL.
