[JMU Duke Dog]

Texas State is at TWO losses left...

They are 6-1 with two of those wins coming against Div II opponents putting them at 4-1. If they lose two games, no way they get the seven Div I wins they need. However, they coud still win the SLC title...

Thank you for pointing out my mistake TexasTerror. I did not realize that Texas State had played two Division II opponents.

well, with a ton of help Sam Houston could still get the conference autobid, but thats really stretching it

Montana only has four D-I wins right now (5-2 with one win against a D-II team), so their number should be two. They must win three of their last four to reach seven (assuming they don't win the BSC and the autobid, and I'm not sure if they can do that or not if they finish 2-2. If it's even possible, they'd need a lot of help).

[HensRock]

Montana should be a 2.

EDIT: Tod beat me to it!

[HPCAT]

Should Texas State go 2-2 in their remaining 4 games, they would have only 6 DI wins. At 8-3 they would not automatically be eliminated from the playoffs, although if we do not win 3 out of the last 4 games we proabably do not deserve to be in the playoffs, especially if one of those loses is to SHS at home.


The won-lost record of a team will be scrutinized to determine a team’s strength of schedule; however, less than seven Division I wins may place a team in jeopardy of not being selected;

Thanks for pointing out my mistake Tod. I had forgotten that Montana had played a Division II opponent.

Thanks for the info, duke. I was wanting a list like this, but had been too lazy to compile it.
