Well yeah, but there's different entry points. They don't stick Chelsea up against West North Famingshire Tuesday FC. -- nm - Reagen Sep 10, 07:56 5
- My guess, you’d basically rank them on RPI and the lowest guys play first rounders until you can get to 256 schools and then just 8 rounds to a champ -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 08:03 3
  - How do you rank based on RPI when you haven't had a season of games? -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 08:04 2
    - It’s schools 150 and lower...does it matter? - Will Hunting Sep 10, 08:07 1
      - College ball is great when they've had time to play and become a team. Basing rankings on the previous year doesn't work when there are so many - Krusty Sep 10, 08:13
- That's what I was trying to suggest yesterday when I speculated it would favor the larger schools. - Sam SeaBaron Sep 10, 07:59
Good for them. I get that they're just trying to make things work during very trying times and find a way to make some money. -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 10, 07:54 2
- 2019 was trying times? -- nm - Wakanda Forever Sep 10, 07:55 1
  - *sigh* I'm talking about the NCAA and sports. Keep up -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 07:57
And the 2019-2020 just one less. (No idea why the previous version came up first. Be better, Google!) -- nm - Sam SeaBaron Sep 10, 07:49
