The Florida Postgame Report

RPI UPDATE:

from the one site that has already updated we are right at about 100...

that is a huge jump, almost 40 spots from last week, that is a big time move, huge win for vols.

if they wanted any chance of ncaa tourney(excluding sec t) this game was a must, good win boys.

Our RPI before the game was 134. 34 spot move.

RPI projected us to lose 84-65.

then why did you cite Lunardi?



My first post was about how great it is to beat UF twice and how i really like how this team is looking. The chances of us getting into the tourney aren't high at all, if they exist at all, yet people always start talking about it like it's expected to happen as soon as we get a good win. No one can ever just look at our situation logically and be happy with it. This team is a solid NIT team that plays great defense and is looking great for the future. They're not a tourney team.

my quote: "im probably going to trust the peolpe that get paid millions like joe lunardi

also meaning similar too.

i dont know the name of the experts on the site i gave you, but they make their living off doing what lunardi does. therefore, im going to trust their opinion and expertise over yours.

indianavol4eva,

are you an espn insider? if so you can view daily rpi, if you look in one column it has lundardi preferred rpi formula...

you know what he has us at, BEFORE the wins @ florida?

Another thing to consider that will boost our chances or break them is having teams who are likely to receive automatic bids win their conference tourneys (UK winning the SEC tourney for example). This will create more available slots for at-large bubble teams. Every bubble team that wins a conference tourney pushes us one step further away regardless of the season outcome short of winning the SEC tourney ourselves.

lol so you mention the name of the most well known bracketologist despite the fact that he hasn't even mentioned us in his bracketology once this season. And do these people really get paid millions? lol maybe I'm mistaken, but i don't think they do.

lol. no, i do not have espn insider. I see no way possible we can be at 54th RPI prior to this game. We have losses to 4 teams outside of the top 100 and 1 team out of the top 200.

Does RPI take road record into account? because I'm pretty sure the committee does, and we are awful on the road.

lol, I don't think the selection committee will be using Lundardi's RPI formula... it excludes home games.

Keep in mind that the selection committee keeps a 'what have you done for me lately' attitude when making their selections. If we close out strong, it looks better.

exactly.

murray state is one to watch. if they dont win their conference they will still get in along with the auto.

don't they also look at what you do on the road? There are no home games in the Tournament. We suck away from home.

Yeah, this typically happens in your mid major conferences where one team dominates the regular season, but is upset in their conference tourney. Murray St. Is a perfect example.

listen man, i dont know what to tell you. you wanted lunardi numbers i gave em' to ya, i'll update them when he updates the florida win.

if you want to choose to take i'll believe it when i see it approach thats more than fine. i just didnt want people to think winning the sec t is the only way to the dance was accurate, because its not.

something else to take into account, the committee will factor both, how have you played lately, and addition or subtraction of players.

meaining:
if we close out sec going 8-1 and take 2-1 in sec, so 10-2 over our last 12 vs sec opponents, and much better since stokes was added, we will get a nod over a similar rpi rated team on the bubble.

don't they also look at what you do on the road? There are no home games in the Tournament. We suck away from home.

we DID suck on the road. if ut wins all remaining road games, committee will look at what have you done for me lately approach as already mentioned.

pus as ccn pointed to ncaa games are neutral, we actually had a VERY good neutral showing.

I can't remember what I read about their views on tourney wins, but if they keep that 'what have they done lately' mentality surely it will be a big factor. Someone else may know.
