Colorado
Alabama
Florida State
Arkansas
Texas
William & Mary
NC State
Stanford
Portland
Georgetown
Villanova

Oklahoma

What happens to SLO since they tied in the region. Will they take ASU and not SLO?

doesn't slo win on the tie-breaker? The west is by far the best region, and I don't think you can take ASU without SLO or vice versa.

Arizona State beats Cal Poly on the tiebreaker. In the NCAA, the tiebreaker is head to head comparisons of the teams' top 5.

5 Cal Poly 155 14 24 34 38 45 55 58
5 Arizona State 155 7 25 28 35 60 61 69

ASU wins the #1, 3, and 4 runners.

Here's my rationale. Most likely chance that I'm wrong is because somebody ran their B-team midseason. Otherwise....

These teams made it automatically:
Wisconsin
Michigan State
BYU
Colorado
Alabama
Florida State
Arkansas
Texas
William & Mary
NC State
Stanford
Portland
Georgetown
Villanova
Oklahoma State
Oklahoma
Syracuse
Iona

At-large:
1. Oregon is selected with 6 points.
Potential push: NAU can push in New Mexico. But, as we shall see, NAU will end up qualifying on their own, so no push is used.
2. Washington is selected with 3 points (winning common opponents tiebreaker over Iowa State).
3. Arizona State is selected with 3 points (winning head-to-head over Iowa State).
4. New Mexico is selected with 3 points (winning head-to-head over Iowa State).
5. Northern Arizona is selected with 6 points.
6. Providence is selected with 3 points (winning common opponents over Iowa State).
7. Iowa State is selected with 3 points.
8. Auburn is selected with 2 points. Louisville and Minnesota also have 2, but Louisville wins common opponents over Minnesota and Auburn wins common opponents over Louisville.
9. Louisville is selected with 2 points.
Potential push: Virginia can push in Duke. But UVA gets in on their own later, so don't use the push.
10. Minnesota is selected with 2 points (both are from beating Michigan State!).
11. Duke is selected with 2 points. Ohio State and Iowa also have 2, Ohio State beat Iowa head-to-head and Duke wins common opponents over Ohio State.
12. Virginia is selected with 5 points.
13. Ohio State is selected with 2 points.

And that's it. Anyone see any problems?

No chance for ISU. Would have been cool to see an underdog team like that get in but they just aren't good enough during the season. The only point they had was over Michigan State and everyone ahead of them had that same point.

These aren't correct. Washington State is going to push in Poly with their two wins over Michigan State (Griak and Pre Nats). You will need to use the push with UVa. That is going to leave Minnesota and Ohio St out.

Washington State in 10th can't push in Cal Poly in 6th!!

Kolas is incorrect as far as I can tell. Did anyone else run it?

Slight change -- I missed Auburn's 2nd-to-last finish at Wisconsin. Doesn't change the top 31 teams, but does change the order in which they are selected.

Take Auburn out from 8th -- they now lose the tiebreaker!

Instead continue with Louisville, Minnesota, Duke, Virginia, and Ohio State.

Now there is only one spot and Iowa cannot push in So. Illinois for the last spot. So Auburn gets it.

the number 3 seed in the midatlantic doesn't even make the discussion???? i don't get it. the points system is inherently unfair to teams who don't have a budget to travel across the country to major meets...you HAVE to look at regional-day performance as well.

Devil:

Great job. You have the same 31 teams as I do, but I do not have Auburn going in where you have them. At the point you place Auburn in I have the head to head between Minnesota, Auburn, and Louisville with Minnesota losing to Louisville at Pre-White, Auburn having no head to head over either Minnesota or Louisville, and Louisville having a win over Minnesota, so Louisville would go in at that point. Did I miss something.

Thanks.
