NCS open-division 3 seedings

I would tend to agree that Salesian should get the #1 seed. Wins vs SRV and DV. Significant win vs Modesto Christian. Game could have gone either way against Riordan. And Riordan won decisively against SRV by 24 points and SRV had a few more games under its belt.
Valid victories . If SRV beats De La tommorow. They will let the chips fall where the mp rankings place them. This is the most likely scenario. Solely talking Srv and Salesian.
Hopefully, head-to-head matchups applies, a win over De La should not play any part in deciding who should go number 1. Salesian beat DV, and SRV. Salesian also beat Modesto who beat Lincoln who beat SRV.
Thursday’s EBAL semis & Saturday’s final should play a large role in the seeding of EBAL teams. Dublin lost to DLS tonight, while Cal topped MV.
Thursday semi’s:
3) Cal @ 2) Dougherty
4) DLS @ 1) SRV
Thursday semi’s:
3) Cal @ 2) Dougherty
4) DLS @ 1) SRV
Normally seeding doesn’t matter unless travel distance is involved. But I do see why it’s important to Salesian cause it’s a big advantage for them playing at Contra Costa JC. Place is tough for visiting teams the way the gym is set up and Salesian is accustomed to it. If Salesian does not get the 1 seed, I don’t see them coming out of semis.
DLS at #1 in NCS rankings, but comes in 4th in their own league? Maxpreps is a joke.
Now it has srv as 2nd … hmmm it’s almost as if it’s constantly updating .. the gap between de la and srv seems to be large. They did beat the number 4 team last night. It will be interesting to see how much credit it gives to SRV if they win the game tonight. If De La wins it appears to be a clincher for #1 spot . For mp rankings
DLS vs SRV should be a great game. I think that DLS size could give SRV some troubles while SRV has much better 3 point shooters so it'll be an interesting matchup from that aspect. Blair is a handful so I wouldn't be too surprised if he was able to will them to a road win but gotta think that SRV will prevail on their home court.
If they lose to Newark (seems likely) on Friday I'm sure that will drop them out. But yeah seems like they would need to be 54th unless there are 3 teams above them in the rankings that don't qualify.
Ayalar,
I think they have to take 6. The NCS has a certain amount bid's to the CIF tourney. If they only put 4 in the open, then they would have to figure out how to distribute the other 2 auto bids. Some would say let the D1 finalists and semi finalists in.... but that would pretty much be exactly what happens with the current open format. This makes sure that the top 6 teams in the NCS, regardless of division gets into the CIF tourney.
The game of the day is cal and Dougherty . Winner SHOULD lock up open spot . Loser out ???? Dougherty lots of pressure. D1 is an insult to expectations.
