So, the two #1 seeds have 4 and 5 losses? While 2 OVC schools have 1 loss and got a 2 and 3 seed?

I'll continue to say it Until some of these OVC teams start playing outside the River Area they will never move up. They need to play teams that are in their D3 Seeding so the other teams can get an idea of how good they are. OVC has some very good teams but needs to start doing this. Whether it's a bussing issue, schedule issue, or just a coaching issue it needs to happen.

While I agree teams do need to get out and play other teams in their seeding, they do have League Commitments. The weather was not real cooperative this year so that caused some problems.

It makes no sense how Valley can be seeded higher than Portsmouth West. Valley is 8-9, West is 8-6 and they play comparable schedules. The argument will be made that Valley beat Burg. However, West beat Valley twice head-to-head, 9-1 and 14-3.

I completely agree.

In D4 Belpre is 7-8 and somehow pulled in a 5 seed, avoiding a play in game, while Ironton St Joe (9-2) is a 6 seed?

In the end I guess it doesnt matter, but that is one more game that a team like St Joe has to play and burn through pitchers.

9-2 is a #6 seed and a 7-8 is a #5 seed......SMDH. Makes zero sense.

They definitely need to go back to a Sunday meeting where everyone physically votes and each vote should be made public to the other coaches.

The point is not about receiving records or having information - we all know that your schedule / who you play can easily affect that. The point is that some coaches find it easy to vote up or down a team when it is done online. A physical presence would make a little less easy. It's like a text or email (and this forum). People do and say things behind a screen (even if you know who they are) that that wouldn't say/do face to face.
