As for Chicago, the Championship is about to come off the books. We've made the 2nd round in each of the last 10 seasons, and the sweet 16 9 of those 10 seasons. However, we've only made it out of the sweet 16 twice in those 10 seasons since the title. We're starting to develop a complex and will need to find a way thru Manchester U's perimeter attack.
Looking at next season's schedule we've got Hood, Macalster, UNCW, W Conn St, Keuka, Arcadia, Hartwick, E Oregon, John Hopkins and Drew on tap for the OOC. Can't imagine putting together a much tougher OOC past upon historical performance in this world. If I don't reclaim the #1 SOS next season I'd be shocked.
Good luck in round 3 to those remaining (well except for Arcadia since we've alredy proven we can't beat them this year, need someone else to do so :)
