With many of the highly-ranked teams eliminated during the opening round, the final-10 teams include many surprises, mostly surprises really. The CCC has the #1, #2, and #4 rankings. What other conference has achieved such a feat in any sport?
Massey has the CCC teams at #1, #2, and #5 (with the #3 and #4 teams already eliminated).
Let’s look at the first-round matchups according to Massey…
College of Idaho gets Ottawa, who Massey has at #21 and gives C of I a 70% chance of winning.
Oregon Tech gets the winner of Mount Mercy and Houston-Victoria, who Massey has at #47 and #57 respectively. Oregon Tech will win over 80% of the time against either team according to Massey.
SOU gets the winner of Milligan and Bethany, who Massey has at #30 and #86 respectively. The Raiders will win over 85% of the time against either team according to Massey.
The only non-CCC team in Massey’s top twenty that made the final 10 is Olivet, the #3 seed.
Games begin a week from today.

The Raiders will welcome Morningside, Hope International, and Saint Katherine to US Cellular Fields in Medford next week. Massey has them at #11, #18, and #96 respectively.
Even though they lost two in a row, Massey still has SOU as the #1 team in the country by a decent margin.
