KRACH ratings for DII Men's Lacrosse, 2021

[SouthernLaxGenius]

Alot of pretty even resumes in the north and south.

A little bit (shocked; not much) about Adelphi being left out. But I can see with St. A's schedule (even though they played the other side of the NE-10) and the wins.

South, no real surprises there as I felt a number of teams could be swapped in and out.

What's interesting was the Regional Rankings...

Why rank BA 4?

The appropriate ranking should have always been as it turned out with BA on the bubble pending the UIndy and Tampa games.

As stated in an earlier post I surprised that 2 CC teams were in the top 5...

Guess they wanted a little suspense!

Anyway I think things worked out the way they should have...

UIndy vs Tampa should be entertaining!

But LR is the odds in favorite and my pick to come out of the south.

Tampa plays UMO, UIndy plays Wingate

Was anyone surprised that tampa was the #5 seed and the last team in? I thought that was a bit low.

No surprise there.

Just because they were the #5 seed, doesn't mean they were the last team in.

They could be the #5 team based on the selection criteria this year, they may have been locked into the 5 seed no matter what

When you play ~half the games as the other teams, you don't build as good as a resume. And given that the SSC only played in house, all the common opponent and head-to-head categories that are used for the seedings are essentially zeroes for them.
