Our RPI is 65 today. Who knows after tomorrow when they recalculate.
I like that Texas Tech lost to Kansas. It was a close one.

Michigan St, the 4th last team in (1 spot behind Syracuse), wins a home game it should.
So after this result the 10 teams behind us are now 2-4 today.

Arkansas the 3rd team out (7 spots behind Syracuse) may have a really bad loss here. This would make the record 2-5, and since Michigan plays Indiana tomorrow, the next 10 would finish with at least 6 losses. Considering we loss, this is about the best we could have hoped for today.
Is it the majority feeling that if we win 3 out of the last 5 (any combo) and don't go 0-1 in the ACC tourney than we're in?
That's my feeling.
Losing to a Johnny Jones coached team should automatically eliminate Arkansas.
you're wrong, just as you were last yearSounds right to me. Not gonna be easy. In fact I hope I'm wrong but I think going 3 for 5 is less than a 50/50 proposition.

Sorry, I thought you were saying that it's less than a 50/50 proposition for SU to get in the tourney if they win 3 of the next 5What part am I wrong about?
The winning three out of five gets you in or the likelihood of winning 3 of 5.
Like I said, I hope I am wrong so don't take that prediction personally.
SU has five games left. They'll be betting underdogs in all but one of those games (home against GT). Hence the comment that it's less than a 50/50 proposition. Does that mean they can't win three? Of course not. Certainly stranger things have happened.

If they win three out of five it's about a 90% chance we're in the tournament! I thought you were saying less then 50 if that was to happen.

A) All of the bubble teams will have less-than-stellar recordsNever one to leave well enough alone - I'd say that your 90% prediction seems a bit bold to me. If we go 3-2 but lose the first ACC tournament game we'll be 19-13 with several hideous losses. At that point we're going to need a little bit of help only in the sense that we can ill afford some tournament upsets where some surprise teams take automatic bids. I think our chances would be above 50% for sure but I don't know about 90%.
A) All of the bubble teams will have less-than-stellar records
B) We'll have exactly one "hideous" loss
C) We'll be in the tournament if we go 11-7 in the ACC
