Check out how close the 12-14 seeds are. Three teams within 20 points in those bubble spots. Utah, Oakland, BC and Georgia Tech all need to play well in conference tourneys. I would venture to say that Arizona is in a little danger too. Without a good showing against Santa Barbara, their loss to ASU could end up costing them the season . . .

6 points between Oakland and Utah - amazing! That's basically a one voter difference in position ranking. Can't get much tighter!

That one vote could be huge for one of those teams. If the bids for the tourney would go out today, Oakland would be in and Utah would be out.
With tough matchups for both these teams coming up, it will be crucial for one of these teams to either score an upset or look real good in a playoff loss.

Utah appears to have a slight disadvantage as they face BYU in their last regular season game this Friday and then will have to face CSU in the first round of the RMLC playoffs.

It also appears that BC & Lindenwood will have to win their respective conference tourneys to get in. Shapes up to be an interesting couple weeks of lacrosse.

what are some peoples predictions for the playoffs??....how about UCSD moving up in the polls...arizona helps out UCSD by losing to ASU...now UCSD now has to play chapman in the 1st round instead of a higher ranked team...also how do you think chico will do in the playoffs...with a win already over Cal Poly, how do you think their chances are of goin to the national tourney??

who was the guy that gave SSU a first place vote? if I'm mistaken, CSU beat SSU, so who's the joker? april 1 has passed folks.... don't get me wrong, SSU is a great team, but until CSU is beaten, they deserve the full attention of the voters..

I'm pretty sure Coach Flip doesn't vote for his own team

by **Laxer** on Wed Apr 20, 2005 8:57 pm

my guess would be flip...

I think Flip does this just to see the posts like this on the forum.

I, personally, can only account for 1 #1 vote (mine) and it didn't go to SSU

Trust me, the last thing that Flip cares about is what people in the forum have to say. His motivations are different than that.
