2009 Bracket

chiefer wrote:In reviewing the automatics and possible at larges my question to the Pilot Nation is, when you get your deserved #1 seed, who, other than the one of three Pac 10 teams that surround you, will be put in your pod? I see nobody within range. The closest team that I can find would be Reno (575 miles). Will they fly two other teams out to you or do you think you're going to have to go on the road for the first two rounds?

We'll host with one of the PAC10 teams, and the NCAA will fly two teams in. That's the way is has always been done in the past. If there is no tournament team within 400 miles, we travel. (there are only 6 possibilities, 4 of them PAC10)


Last year it was UW as the local team, and they flew in Texas and Northern Arizona.

This year we host. Probably Oregon State will join us. I'd guess the other teams might be somebody like Denver( a long way, but not close to others and a hub for Portland flights) and Boise State (435 miles).

i havent seen this mentioned anywhere ive looked, but cal thumped stanford yesterday, 4-1. since #1 seeds are in themselves seeded, does this change the way ncaa seeds the pilots now an the teams they will put in the pilots bracket??

You got it wrong, it was the other way around. Stanford won 4-1

Re: Reno comment, I mistakenly had them as WAC champions when it was Boise St who won

You mean WSU, not UW, right?

All I remember about that game was Petrucelli chasing the referee around the field afterward.

Someone may have posted this already, but, I just noticed that the bracket selection is being broadcast at 8 pm EST; 5 pm PST on ESPN News. I'm going to go workout and watch the show...
