Bracketology Thread for May 6

MD 14-8 over the Girls for the B1G AQ.

Hop or the Girls. Should get interesting tomorrow night around 9 or so. I don't think there's room for both, with all the upsets this week.

Maybe neither.

The Big 10 is not a three bid league and Rutty has two wins vs JHU and 11 overall vs an 8 and 6 record. Easiest thing to do, leave them both out.

I'd be fine with that. But you know that's not going to happen.

Wouldn't surprise me if Hop gets a home game

This clown still has Duke, Albamy, and now Marquette ahead of us. Oh Lord

Stevens has us hosting Harvard in Denver's bracket.

Lol Foy is beyond delusional, SU has four losses and beat Albany head to head in a blowout. SU will be a 5 or 6 seed at worse

729321236178833409 Stevens has us hosting Harvard in Denver's bracket.

That's assuming a Harvard win today, right?

 

[CreaseRat]

I don't get some of these "analyst" predictions. Cuse isn't traveling and won't be lower than 6. If Harvard wins today, Cuse should be the 4/5. Not sure how you don't give them the benefit of winning the ACC Tourney and being a "hot" team entering the tournament. Hopkins doesn't deserve to be in over Rutgers, two head to head loses proves that. Unfortunately the committee will give Hopkins the benefit of the doubt and snub Rutgers.

Top 4 seeds should be:
Maryland
Denver
ND
Brown (if Harvard wins)

5-8
Cuse
Yale
Loyola
Albany

The ACC champion playing on the road while two ACC losers host games? Yeah, that's likely to happen.

 

[cuseguy]

With Harvard losing, I'm guessing Rutgers or Navy gets in -- and we face one of them.

 

[CreaseRat]

I think Yale just earned themselves a top 3 seed, but I'm not on the committee so they probably won't get it. I could see something like, UMD, Denver, Yale, Brown, ND, Cuse, Albany, Loyola

What time will the bracket be leaked?

What time will the bracket be leaked?

About 3 minutes before Quint starts whining about Syracuse being seeded too high.

[cuseguy]

Surprised Harvard still in at 8-8? Apparently we never had anything to worry about.

 

[orange79]

Hop in - SHOCKER!

As soon as Air Force won their tourney, they were locked in as Denver's 1st round opponent - saves a flight.

Albany losing in their conference semis dropped them from hosting to one of the last 4 in - wow.

Duke loses 7 games (should have been 8 ) and hosts a 1st round game. Gotta love college Lax.

This bracket makes a lot of sense. I could see the Girls replacing Hop - if the committee had any guts. Although, an 8 spot difference in RPI and 1 more Top 20 win is what they will use to protect Hop. They'd have to hold their collective noses and say 2 (that's TWO) head-to-head wins by the Girls didn't mean as much as those 3 (should have been 2 ) Top 20 wins.

 

[WoodyUK]

No way Hop should be In over Rutgers

 

[WoodyUK]

 

[WoodyUK]

What a disgrace, Rutgers not making this over Hop shows a lot of biase, Towson in a playoff? And Cuse at #8 makes me very disillusioned by this process!
