First Crack at Seeding

Joaq Nagle and I sat down for a quick 5 minute crack at seeding, and decided we should start the hotly anticipated discussion.

First off we’re using format 17.1.3 in the format manual to determine the pools. After that we just did quick run through. Enjoy the debate!

1. Oregon – Explanation, no.
2. Pittsburgh – See above
3. Carleton – Surviving King Joffrey’s wrath
4. UCF – Hard to place these guys, don’t want an NC regional rematch
5. Wisconsin – semis at Warm Up, Stanford, and Centex
6. Tufts – Won QCTU, Semis at Centex, Semis at Easterns
7. Luther – 3rd in the NC
8. Minnesota- 4th in the NC- good regular season
9. California – Won the Southwest, win over Colorado
10. Colorado – Won the South Central
11. Texas – Second in the South Central, good results
