The 2012 Southern Division Championships get underway this weekend with the 11 teams from the Southern Division, the tournament is being played at Bucknell. The top four seeds go to the Eastern Championships, and one step closer to earning a NCAA championship bids.
The way the seedings worked is that the Eastern division took the top five spots, and the West was given the other six teams. The top four seeds are Navy, Princeton, Johns Hopkins and Bucknell; those four teams are most likely to advance to the Eastern Championships.
Baring any major upsets, the top four seeds should be advancing to Eastern championships at Princeton. The only likely chance for an upset is George Washington over Bucknell, the schools split the two games they played this year.
