SoCon Standings

App is still in that 9 seed. It's looking like overall record is used as the tiebreaker rather than head to head which I didn't know. If it were head to head, App would be ahead of Sammy in the 8 slot. Looking like App will stay at the 9 spot and can do no better than 8.

From the moctalk form http://moctalk.yuku.com/topic/23406/SoC ... day?page=1 :

Standings

11-4 Wofford (17-11) (owns head-to-head over Elon)
11-4 Elon (17-12)
10-5 Western Carolina (17-13) x-seed
----------
6-9 Georgia Southern (GSU/UNCG split series, both lost to DC, GSU beat UTC, UNCG split)
6-9 UNC Greensboro
5-10 Appalachian State (owns head-to-head over Samford)
5-10 Samford
3-13 Furman x-seed
1-14 The Citadel x-seed

If It Ended Today

8 Appalachian State vs 9 Samford

1 Davidson vs Samford/ASU
2 Chattanooga vs UNCG/Furman

That's what I do. I gripe and I know things.

It's head-to-head. The SoCon website standings is just a computer system doing what it's programmed to do.

App needs to beat UTC and have Citadel beat Georgia Southern to get a 7-seed. Any other result and App is in the 8/9 game, where seeding just determines which bench you sit on.

UNCG doesn't matter since they hold the tiebreaker over App State. App holds the tiebreaker over GSU.

Ok that makes wayyy more sense and was what I thought was protocol. Thanks for clearing that up.
