Note: Tommy McLeod would be the MidCentral Division champ, at 33-23, but he needs to be within 1 game of the 12th seed to grab a 13th seed... mostly because I cant put someone in the postseason 3 games behind, when there are 8 people ahead of him with better records - DMOsborne had this same issue a few years ago, and said in response "winning the division and not making the postseason is the most Mississippi State thing I can possibly do". And actually DMO missing the postseason being 1 game back helped implement the rule that division winners make the postseason if they are not in the Top 12, provided they are no more than 1 game behind the 12th seed.
