B Division Playoff Seedings

[Gary Robinson]

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?

[Anderson]

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?

[Karl Lynch]

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.

[Gary Robinson]

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

[Karl Lynch]

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.

Has Trinity Played AC?

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.

[Karl Lynch]

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?

[primelax]

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

[Karl Lynch]

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.

[WT]

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?

[WT]

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."
