Spaulding did make the playoffs this year. An 8 team playoff makes sense in a bigger league, but over half of the teams make it as it is. There is no rando formula if you simply win games. Loyola and St. Paul’s both blew winnable games during the season and it was those losses and not a rando formula that kept them out. Look at Calvert Hall. They slumped hard mid-season, but they won on the field and turned things around after John Carroll embarrassed them. Wins matter, not playing a tough team close or moral victories.
