Interesting that Chatt got in when we beat them head to head. Strange. Looks fishy. We are clearly better than Chatt.

We should have been in ahead of Chatt since we beat them but the way we screwed up the last half of the season didn't give them any reason to include us. The whole system is fishy when you have to outbid/offer payments to the NCAA who are not known for being honest anyway.

Who are the voters that represent the SoCon. Could be that homer from the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

A school’s AD has to leave the room whenever their team is being discussed. So the UTC guy should not have had any DIRECT involvement in them being chosen. But I have to assume they had a strong bid (hosting APSU who honestly should have been in the conversation for a seed), and I also expect the other people in the room take notice when a person from the committee leaves the room - adding more focus to that program.
Happy the SOCON got 3 in, as that helps us going forward. I hope the Mocs and the Bears win at least their first round games. If they do, the SOCON is guaranteed to have at least 1 team make the quarters. But we need one of those 3 to make at least the semis. I’ll be a huge Mercer fan against SDSU!
And of course an awful taste in my mouth in what could have been. I’d say if we win UTC would be out. That probably would have been us getting Gardner-Webb, though.

SoCon had a good day in the playoffs:
Mercer 17 Gardner Webb 7
Chattanooga 24 Austin Peay 21
This is good for the SoCon......

Just think though. That would have been us beating AP or GW if we got in.
