CBS on UT post-MSU win

First&Tenn, Live RPI (be sure & click "with Conf Tourneys") and Jerry Palm of CBS have Colorado 10-8 against the top 100, so I don't know where that CBS guy got his numbers. I don't think Colorado is better than us, though. Anti-SEC year in the media. Maybe we do suck as a conference but they're over doing it some.

Using Palm's site, we are 4-7 away, 2-1 neutral & they are 5-7 & 4 & 0. I don't think that's updated for our 1-0 neutral in Nashville or their 1-1 in Las Vegas.

You might want to check my numbers though. I'm sick & in space cadet mode.

Zansdad's theory is that people are biased toward teams that are impressive early in the year, and late blooming teams have to work harder. I posted Missouri's resume and ours in a blind comparison, and it is amazing how similar they are, and we beat them head to head. Somehow they are a lock and we are a bubble.

Agree on Missouri! The only difference I think is the Ga games. Ga is better than their record. They were awful the first half of the LSU game but almost came back & won.

They were a "lock" before we lost the road Ga game & we were on the 2nd longest win streak in the country before that game.

"they" not just here

Think if we won the SECT and lost in the first round of the NCAA the 'fire Martins' would still come out in force?

And yet they say we're the insufferable ones. The 'sunshine pumpers,' as they love to call it.

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesgusting.

From the same article:



Colorado has 1 fewer top 50 wins, 2 bad losses to teams ranked between 100-200, and the same record against the top 100 at UT.

CBS says they may fall to a 10 seed, while UT still needs to beat another bubble team to avoid the NIT.

I don't know what to say...

Those formal criteria more often correlate to tournament selection, and the criteria you often hear bandied about are typically outdated emphases. So, no, conference record isn't a deciding factor. Neither is recency. The final 12 games don't matter more than the first 12, and no, there are no bonus points awarded (or subtracted) for conference tournament wins. Advanced efficiency numbers -- including ESPN's own BPI -- might be considered in the committee room, but they are far less important than the NCAA's own RPI, which underpins the entire organization of its infamous nitty-gritty team sheets.

So now it's beat Alabama and maybe we get in, lose and we're in the NIT?

I fail to see how we're left out if we win. If we win and lose Saturday and still don't go, my goodness.
