College Hoops Around The Country [TN opponents, RPI, others]

No I think Michigan is a little too far back. Also, the way road wins are counted OSU would have gotten a big boost.

And yes, I think we pull for Penn State

Ohio State probably drops below us with that L, also thinking Clemson drops a couple more.

WSU won. That probably puts them close to us on the seed line

Penn State blew a lead to lose to Purdue :/

Seems to me like there’s probably 10-11 teams that are almost certain to get 1-3 seeds...after that it’s pretty wide open.

Beet, correct me if I am wrong but it’s pretty similar to the Pearl year where we drew the last number 2 seed (maybe ‘06??) for a similar reason.

Except this year the teams ranked between 10 and 25 are foggy whereas that year it was a combination of unexcpected conference tournament winners and a solid drop off after the top 5-7 teams in the country.

If we win out and get to the conference title game I think a 2-4 seed is realistic.

Definitely rooting for Kansas over Oklahoma in this game, looking good so far.

Why?

Isn't Oklahoma so far behind us it doesn't matter?

They should probably be, but a win at Kansas would definitely boost their resume

Bracket matrix has them as a 6 seed, admittedly that’s probably a bit high but a win at Kansas would definitely have them right back in the mix and breathing down our necks.

I think Kansas is getting a 1 seed. I think the odds of OU passing us - especially w a win tonight - is greater than us passing KU

Yup no doubt...no brainer to root for Kansas.


Have you ran your model after this weekends games?

Sounds good. You guys sold me

Now it's very possible OU only has 18 wins and is 8-10 in the their league

They easily get in?

With an expected rpi of 37...most definitely.

I haven’t - I’ll do it tomorrow. But based on the different scenarios I think it’s safe to say UT is still a solid 4 seed

I agree.
One less win though and it could get hairy

What was it you told me you’d do/eat if SEC got 8 teams in?

Probably said I’d eat my hat

Will you be live streaming this? What kind of hat will it be?

Yea I would say it will probably be same group of teams, maybe Ohio State dropping out and Wichita State entering the picture.

 

[BigZiti09]

Honestly have no idea how many are projected to get in.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Right now 8 and not any of them really close to the bubble...Georgia, LSU and Mississippi State are outside but both are in the talk.

At least one will tank

 

[bleedingTNorange]

At least one will tank

Running out of time for that...even so, if 1 tanks 1 of those other 3 could easily make it in. 8 seems almost certain, but even if it’s 7 you said that wouldn’t happen either, 8 was simply the number for you eating your hat.

Oh look, Oklahoma lost again.

Shocker.
