Haley out with his bracket predictions if it were to be announced today (well, yesterday).
- Lehigh is the sole Patriot rep at the #5 seed.
- CAA has three in there with Rhody, Monmouth, and 'Nova at the 9-10-11 respectively. UNH is his third team out. W&M not on the radar.
- FCS stalwart South Dakota State is the first team out thanks to their 4-game losing streak in the heavyweight MVFC after opening the season 7–0. Losing to Indiana State a few weeks ago was the real killer for their résumé.
- Playoff newcomer Ivy League has Harvard as their lone qualifier, but Dartmouth is Haley's second team out.
