If we win 5 straight games? One of those would HAVE to be against Kentucky. All the regular season conference winners would have to win their tourneys. And then it'd still be unlikely we get in. JMO

Our rpi would be around 45 winning 5 straight, 3 in season and 2 in sec t. As long as its against good opponents which it would most likely be if we are a 3 seed. If we beat UK as a 4 seed our rpi would be insid of 40.

It's a long shot, but the field is VERY weak this year.

Alabama's in good position to make the big dance whether or not they beat Tennessee in the SEC standings. That's the benefit of having a great RPI and SOS...

That can change with a loss tonight very easily.

Why would that change? Arkansas SUCKS on the road, but they've beaten a bunch of good teams at home this year. Even if Alabama lost tonight, they'd still be in pretty decent shape. I think 'Bama only needs to go 8-8 in conference to get to the dance. Again, that's the benefit of having a great computer resume.

If we are in the lower bracket, then 5 straight would put us facing KY in the championship.

So finish 2-2 in their last 5? Ask them how a bad finish to their season worked out for them last year.

Bama isn't even considered in right now, what makes you think going 2-2 would get them in?

That make zero sense.

Huh? They're solidly in in EVERY bracket I've seen. ESPN and CBS have them as a 10 seed. So, they're a bubble team, but they're a bubble team in VERY solid shape.

Don't compare last year's Alabama to this year's Alabama. Last year's Alabama is similar to this year's Tennessee. Great conference season, awful non-conference season. Bad computer numbers. This year's Alabama team has had a very good non-conference season, and an okay conference season. Great computer numbers.

yea i just edited, i over looked them somehow in lunardi's new bracket.

im sorry but if bama goes 2-2 they will not be in the tournament at that point. they may get themselves back in during sec t, but if they lose tonight you can bet they will be right back out imo.

Mississippi State is in worse shape than Alabama right now, imo. They're still in on most bracketology websites, but they're falling fast.

if they went 2-2 to finish they'd be 6-8 in their last 14 games. that's not gonna get in a bubble team.

and im comparing them to last years team, because last years team WAS in the tournament until they lost 2 of their last 3.

same concept this year, they are in the tournament most likely at this point, but if they lose a few just like last year they will be out.

the committee looks VERY strongly as to your last 10-15 games.

Depends. Losses @ ark and @ msu they'd be on the bubble. At this point, bama is likely a tourney team

one thing to remember with lunardis bracket is his new one will have seton hall and colorado state both in it, and right now they are out, so they will be replacing 2 teams....

"Back out?" They've never been out... They were around that seven or eight seed until the suspensions hit.

i dont see it going 2-2. they are about 4 spots away from being out. you go 2-2 and their will be atleast 4 bubble teams that go 3-1 or 4-0 and will jump you.

as i said they could bounce themselves back in during the sec t, but at seasons end if they go 2-2 the last 4 i dont see them being projected in.

The tournament has made it clear that games in November mean as much as games in February. This Alabama team's resume far exceeds last year's Alabama; it's not even close. If they went 2-2, their RPI would still be 41 (according to RPIforecast). Their SOS is among the best in the country. They're similar to Georgia last year, and Georgia got in without too much trouble (a 10 seed).

miami is in this bracket, but nc state isnt according to him. so thats 1, who'd be the other?

Texas or Northwestern. Again, Alabama is a 10 seed, so they're ahead of Washington, Xavier, Connecticut, Seton Hall, Northwestern, Miami, and Texas in his bracket. Alabama is fine; I don't understand where you're getting any of this from.

if they dont put weight on your last 10 then why do they say they do?

and also, why wouldnt have alabamas team last year not got in?

they had a better resume than quite a few teams that made it in, but those teams all finished stronger than bama.
