On the women’s side, we can expect Texas and Baylor to host. With that in mind, I think this is how it will pan out. Austin – Texas, TCU, Rice and a random 4-seed Waco – Baylor, Tulsa, North Texas and Oral Roberts And shock of all shocks, A&M hosts. They could keep Ole Miss [...]

Men’s bracket predictions – one huge dumpster fire
I am really not sure where to go with all of this. The men’s is a massive dumpster fire in the middle of the country. With only one top seed between the Mississippi River and the city of Los Angeles (Oklahoma), I am not sure what they are going to do. Not to mention there [...]
Maps of the seeds for men and women
OK, so I have created maps of the suspected seeds… some schools are on top of others and obviously I have cut Hawaii out of the women’s map. (blue-1, red-2, green-3, yellow-4) MEN - http://texascollegetennis.com/images/NCAA_men_2012.jpg WOMEN - http://texascollegetennis.com/images/NCAA_women_2012.jpg I may port them to longitude and latitude and put them in a some software, but I think you get [...]
Women’s 2012 NCAA seedings… how I see it.
OK, here’s what I have… 32 at-large, 32 next highest. Puts us at last one in being #41 St. Mary’s College Of California. Here are the seedings. I have not looked to see if any teams have direct wins and should move ahead. I also want to point out that the final team, Oral Roberts, [...]
The entire double-run women’s ITA Rankings, as far as I can tell
OK, if they are not going to publish them, then I will go ahead and publish my own version. Again, the biggest issue is correcting the neutral matches that show up as away wins for teams. I manually corrected this for the top-51 teams in the April 24 rankings. Why 51? Not really sure myself. [...]
My look at the seeds for the men’s bracket
There are a few interesting quirks. One I see is that there is a rule saying teams with direct wins over a teamdirectly in front of them can jump them. At 16, you have UNC, who lost to 17 Auburn… but Auburn also happened to lose to 18 Tennessee… so what happens? Also, the Big [...]
Ever wondered what the entire ITA rankings look like? Here are the men’s final rankings
This is not going to be 100% correct, but I can assure you it is pretty darn close. I do not think I am missing any matches. I have validated the database for all matches for teams that were in the top-50 last week. The biggest challenge was how to estimate the rankings from 76-125. [...]
Current List of D1 Conference Champions
FINAL For those of you playing along at home, here’s a current list of the DI Conference Champions that have already been determined. I am not sure if the Great West gets an autobid. I remember being confused about that last year as well. MEN WOMEN ACC Virginia Duke America East Binghampton Stony Brook Atlantic [...]

COLLEGE STATION – Cierra Gaytan-Leach punctuated a come-from-behind, three-set win with a service ace, as fourth-seeded Texas (17-7) collected the doubles point and three singles wins to seal a 4-2 win over third-seeded [...]
