Franklin wins the tourney due to the h2h tie breaker with Pomona-Pitzer. So close, bates!

Do I get a consolation for beating you??

No, lol

Any word from trentonjoe?

No not yet...he’s usually just late. I wouldn’t sweat it.

Any updates on next season's tourny?

Next season’s schedule will come out tomorrow. I just replaced Loras who might be leaving for d2.

Ok maybe no schedule today just noticed Dickinson has apparently dropped out as he’s scheduled several gms.

mfnmyers has a team in I think every single world. Doesn't surprise me he may have even done that by accident.

Potential replacement could be adding back St. Joseph's (NY) in the Skyline. HD legend majresorter just took over for adjacent1 who left for D1 and hasn't scheduled any non-cons yet.

Carnegie Mellon in the Freedom conference also has no non-cons scheduled yet. Coach is jnix13. Also, brand new coach but really good program - Juniata in the Commonwealth Conference is currently #9 in the country and has no games scheduled for next season. Coach is bearlobe. Unless it's an alias for an established coach he looks like he's brand new to HD though.

ebaylus at Northland in the CCIW is also pretty good. He does have a game scheduled for week 6 but if he's interested I guess someone could play him on week 10? Same with timchurna at SUNY New Paltz in the SUNYAC. He's got 1 game on the schedule for week 6.

There are a bunch of super talented coaches with 2 games scheduled who might be worth a look if we need a semi-broken schedule for 1 season:
Austin College - American Southwest - johnvanrens
Sul Ross State - American Southwest - mjs22
Washington (MD) - Centennial - drwestmoland
King's College - Freedom - slicknick777

Carnegie is in and replacing Loras. I reached out to Ebaylus at the Northland yesterday. Ebaylus is interested so I will be talking with him more today....hopefully. May have something later today.

Ok I’ll try to get the schedule out here later today. Ebaylus is in

Awesome. Looking forward to it. No rush - real life is definitely crazy right now.

Due to H2H Franklin wins the tourney again with a Win against Texas, Tyler. Becker wins the tourney with a win and a Tyler(Franklin loss) win. Tyler wins with a win and a Becker(Depauw win) loss. I haven’t looked at any other possibilities as of yet.

So I noticed that all of our SOS at the end of nonconference hover right around 170--I guess that makes sense because we're all playing each other. Does that get worked out as we play our conference schedules, because I'm sure we've all played pretty challenging schedules?

Yes. Our SOS' will improve dramatically in conference play. At least 7 of the 10 teams participating are pretty much guaranteed 20 win seasons.

SOS is particularly high this go around because the rebuilding teams played the loaded teams early resulting in a lot of 7-0 / 0-7 and 6-1 / 1-6 scenarios deflating the values of those high win teams and then the 1-6/0-7 matchups hurt the SOS of those programs as well.
