PJ posted this on page 4...

Those eight will be seeded according to their medal play finish. Coaches will also seed their players, who will face the corresponding seed from the opposing team. Each match is worth one point. The first team to win three points advances. The coaches can then reseed their players after each round.

The above is what I was basing my statement on.

RE: sudden death

Yea last time all 5 golfers for each team played the same hole and total score was compared. All 5 scores counted as I recall.

Minnesota or whoever it was had played that particular hole at like +6 and we had played it at around par in regulation yet we lost the playoff.

The video feed announcers were saying the coaches wouldn't be allowed to pick who played where - it would be based on golfstat rankings after the 3rd round was completed.

Either the newspaper was wrong or the tv guys were wrong. No idea who.

No, it sounds like the commentators were right

4 shots to the good and only UTC and UF with any sort of chance; however, they're 8 back.

I believe that means that in a 8 team playoff, the highest nationally ranked team on our side of the bracket is #3 USC. The #1, 2 and 4 national seeds would be on the other side of the bracket. Nice! Not to mention that before today USC had been playing average golf in the Regional and the first 2 rounds of the national championship. I'll take them over the other 3. Although Arizona St has been playing really well lately so pros and cons.

Most likely the road would be as follows:
Arizona St --> USC --> Championship game vs Okie St, Georgia or Washington

Of course upsets happen but still fun to think about.

So it looks like we'll be playing Arizona State in the 1st round. I like it.

PY,

I heard the same thing. Matchups based on golfstat player rankings.
caleblyn
How long do you want to ignore this user?
golfstat ranking would pair it this way...

Bronson Burgoon …+2… vs …Knut Borsheim …+11
Andrea Pavan …+9… vs …Stephan Gross …+16
Conrad Shindler …+1… vs …Chan Kim …+3
John Hurley …+5… vs …Jesper Kennegard …E
Matt Van Zandt …+16… vs …Scott Pinckney …+1

I wonder how OSU feels about the format change with a 13 shot lead after 3 rounds

and having to play #1 Georgia in the first round!
polish german

So it should end up like this:

#1 OSU (#2 nationally)
#8 Georgia (#1 nationally)

#4 Arkansas (10)
#5 Washington (4)

#3 USC (3)
#6 Michigan (39)

#2 ASU (13)
#7 A&M (15)

Screw them.

And Florida is -4 on the back and Chattanooga is +3 on the front. No worries whatsoever.

Whew.

I am thinking the OSU doesn't get to complain about the new format

pg...no.

I also ranked some of them (some are unranked) according to their play in this tourney.

Yea the tv guys made it sound like the rankings wouldn't be available until the entire round was complete. I dunno if that's true or not.

Any news what happened to Nacho? I mean, Conrad has done stellar, but I'm just curious.
caleblyn
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We need to anticipate and early start.

I don't get in until 8:00 am and they will probably be half-way through the front 9 by then, depending on when we start.

And considering how they handled their amazing 2nd round I'm very happy the Aggies will be heading into tomorrow trying to redeem themselves.

Hopefully almost blowing it will light a fire under them.
caleblyn
How long do you want to ignore this user?
imo, I think that Nacho was sat down in favor of Conrad because of the match play format. I could be way wrong, but the Aggies did play this same 5 in the only other match play tourney we played in this year.
polish german
How long do you want to ignore this user?
That makes sense.
caleblyn
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Can you imagine how they are feeling? A match play environment is going to be seeping with excitement tomorrow.

Makes me think of the Ryder Cup!
