The NUSA’s Bowl Executive Committee (BEC) released their final rankings for 2017. This ranking also gave us the final seedings for the Champions Tournament, culminating in the Champions Bowl game in January.
1. Ohara Scarlets (GTen) 11-1
2. Olaskas Crimson Glory (G12) 11-1
3. O’Connell Shamrocks (AEC) 10-2
4. Granada Bulldogs (SAC) 10-2
5. Eregonia Dragons (GTW) 10-2
6. BSU (GEC) 9-2
7. NESU Knights (NEC) 8-3
8. Gayle Gryphons (AL) 7-3
This means that the Quarter finals are as follows:
1 Ohara vs 8 Gayle
2 Olaskas vs 7 NESU
3 O’Connell vs 6 BSU
4 Granada vs 5 Eregonia
Ties to be played on 9/10 December 2017.
Ohara and Olaskas have got the 1/2 places, whilst Granada’s reward for topping Clementine for the SAC champinship is fourth place(!) The Shamrocks and Bosshogs will also feel slighted. I guess the Gryphons and Knights will have expected those seedings, just as last year.
