Lone Star 18 wins, 1 pending
Cal CAA 15 wins, 3 pending

(Penn St 16 wins, 1 pending)


Today's #2 Grand Valley St v #6 TAMU, Commerce game could decide MUSDUC III. Lone Star currently leads with 18 wins, and one game pending. The Cal CAA sits at 15 wins, but has 3 games this PM. Both GVSU and TAMUC are 4-0 in MUSDUC III games, and TAMUC is favored by 1 point on the road.

A GVSU win leaves the Lone Star vulnerable. The CCAA would need all 3 of its PM games to come through to force a tie. 5 of the 6 teams in those 3 games are 1-3 in MUSDUC III so far, with CSU, LA at 3-1 the sole interloper. CSU, LA is heavily favored (-13) over simai Tuskegee of the decimated Southern Conference (9 wins, 1 pending). Grand Canyon is a 2 pt favorite at home vs Wayne St from the GLIAC (12 wins, 2 pending). Sonoma St and Clarion (Penn St - 16 wins, but just 1 pending and no chance to catch the Lone Star for 1st place) are a pick'em. 

The Cal CAA and the Lone Star split their head-to-head 3-3 so the next tie-break will be total margin of victory, which I am not about to calculate unless I need to! Good luck coaches, and may the best (non California based) conference win!

TAMU, Commerce pulled off the road win 62-52, so GVSU and TAMUC swap national rankings and the Lone Star wins its first MUSDUC with 19 overall wins. Congrats Lone Star.

There will be no relegation this season. The Southern Conference will be replaced by the newly reconstituted North American conference. We hope to see the Southern return soon. Schedules to follow shortly for MUSDUC IV. Thanks for making this the best damn tournament in HD!

yes, if possible. sorry for the confusion

Due to numerous errors on my part, there are a few corrections necessary for the MUSDUC IV schedule. I believe that the schedule as posted currently is accurate and that all games that are set to be scheduled have open slots available. Here are the changes that were made:

1st - bob squad of Cal Poly Pomona posted previously that he was already scheduled for next season and would wait for MUSDUC V, but I failed to note his post, and slotted Cal Poly Pomona at #3. Since all those games are filled, and since CSU, Los Angeles has an open slate and per RWOPR is compatible, I am slotting CSU, LA in the #3 CCAA slot. This affects sharrow (CSU,LA), a_in_the_b (St. Mary's), sublightd (Northwood), shucky (TAMU, Commerce), johnmacdan (Bloomsburg), and hubie72 (WV Wesleyan).  I haven't gotten confirmation from sharrow that he will participate, but making the switch is a no-brainer. If sharrow is out, the games don't get scheduled, which is currently the default anyway since Pomona is full. My apologies.

Lock Haven @ W Oregon wk 5 cannot be played as there are no corresponding openings between the two teams. 

The following games have had their wk changed:

Ferris St @ St Edward's: wk 1
St Edward's @ Midwestern St: wk 2
St Edward's @ San Francisco St: wk 8
E Stroudsburg @ St Edward's: wk 10
Northwood @ CSU, LA (Cal Pomona): wk 8
San Bernardino @ Montevallo: wk 8
Stonehill @ Clarion: wk 8
Alaska, Anchorage @ Ferris St: wk 8
Tarleton St @ W Oregon: wk 8
California U @ Central St: wk 8
St Mary's @ Bloomsburg: wk 8


Affected coaches please be very careful to double check any game offers. Thanks.

I'll be glad to delete this, it's going to take up some space, but here's a quick idea on scheduling that may quickly address mmt/llamanunts concerns.  The idea would be that the conferences would be ranked A-F (A the winner thru F - relegation entrant) and the A, B & C and D, E, F conferences would play one another 1-6, but the games between any of ABC & DEF would not be purely 1-6.  Here's the chart [Rank is the sum of each of the seeds played, which in a straight 1 only plays other 1s schedule would be 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30): [Edited to even out the brackets and rankings]

I ran the numbers on the Heartland conference for the 3 seasons we have complete season data and wopr or rwopr rankings (MUSDUC II, III and IV). While wopr did a respectable job (4 of 6 twice, 6 of 6 once) picking the best 6 from our conference who were interested to compete, the final season standings and the wopr predictions for relative power weren't really all that well aligned.

As I just posted to the Central's CC, I'd love to have the MUSDUC I envision where the seeding is close to reflective and everyone plays someone that is just about as good as they are, but even if wopr was 100% that still wouldn't exist when the conferences themselves are so unbalanced (ie some only have the minimum 6 while others are full or nearly so). I'm smart enough to want to have the best MUSDUC we can though, and after a lot of consideration I think that the schedule proposed by rogelio and quoted above is probably the best and most fair schedule we can use for MUSDUC games. I've asked the Central to chime in here and if they won't rejoin given that I've now seen the light as it were. Please post any thoughts or comments about this change below. If there are no major objections in the next couple days I will implement this for MUSDUC VII. Thanks everyone
