Projected Final 4

I'd say
1. Michigan
2. Oakland
3. Pittsburgh
4. Miami

What are your thoughts?

I would agree but the final seedings may not allow for all 4 of those teams to reach the final 4 . (some may play each other before the semis)

Because of the way the league is laid out (not sure I like it, but this is what we have) you may see some strange seedings... i.e. West Virginia only has to play one of the above mentioned teams (Pitt) where as Indiana, and Michigan state have to play all of them.

Could lead to some whacky seedings if a team like W.VA makes a run on their side of the conference.

Based on this set up:
Lakes Division
-Buffalo
-Central Michigan
-Pittsburgh
-Purdue
-West Virginia
-Western Michigan

Plains Division
-E. Michigan
-Indiana
-Miami
-Michigan
-Michigan St.
-Oakland

So will the top 4 include two teams from each division?

It better not have to be 2 from each division (which I don't think it is). I think most would agree that the plains division is a little stronger and has at least 3 of the top 4 CCLA teams.
