Re: Official Selection Sunday Discussion Thread

I predict Bama will get screwed and left out of the field of 65 this year.

He squeezed in Arkansas.

Re: Official Selection Sunday Discussion Thread

I'm hoping Akron gets an at-large, but that 175 SOS looks pretty bad.

Re: Official Selection Sunday Discussion Thread

Akron has no shot. Toledo would get in before them, but the MAC is strictly a one bid league.

Re: Official Selection Sunday Discussion Thread

Re: Official Selection Sunday Discussion Thread

ill be looking at some local teams.

-Air Force- do they get in after being ranked 80% of the year, but ending the year losing like 8 of their last 10 games?

-San Diego State- Borderline top 25 the last few weeks. Talked about many times as a potential 4bid league by many.

-UNLV- with a realtimepi of 9 (as of yesterday), and a top 25 ranking, are they top 6? or will they get a 7?

-BYU- as the #23 team in the nation playing some great great ball, I sense a 8 or 9 seed for them unforunately.

-NMSU- going dancing for the first time in 7 years. They stormed through the WAC and took down Nevada atleast one time I remember. Here I sense a 12 or 13 seed. They can play some ball. any 4 or 5 watch out

Did Tennesee win anything on the road?

[ExtremeGamer]

Re: Official Selection Sunday Discussion Thread

Interesting. Based on those, OSU is in the Final 4 without a sweat, and the West is one loaded bracket.

[RubenDouglas]

Re: Official Selection Sunday Discussion Thread

anyone hear the guy on TV talk about how Florida should be a #1 overall team over OSU. then he said look at who DIDNT play in that loss?

i swear some teams and conferences, you look at every variable around/excuse to make to try to give them more credit than they deserve. with mid majors, its a simple look at SOS and RPI. they dont care that a danny granger missed three MWC road games, three of which UNM lost all in a row... nope that doesnt matter.

with BCS schools, they evaluate everything.. gotta love that committee

Re: Official Selection Sunday Discussion Thread

just a little thing is that I dont see texas A&M C-C a 14 seed because its there first year in the tourney. I think Albany deserves that 14 and C-C goes to 15 seed.
