This Notre Dame stuff is really pissing me off
Only two I don’t see in are Notre Dame and Penn State.Current situation (just my own opinion, I can't trust all of the brackets out there)...
Locks: 26
Houston, TCU, Creighton, Butler, Kentucky, West Virginia, Arizona, Clemson, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Virginia, Michigan State, Xavier, Villanova, Duke, Michigan, Auburn, Ohio State, Texas Tech, Wichita State, Kansas, Cincinnati, UNC, Gonzaga, Purdue, Florida
Automatic bids: 25 (I estimate that 7 of the 32 conference tourney championships will be won by a locked team)
Which leaves 17 spots available.

Temple-Tulsa really the only semi-bubble game today it looks like.
In the meantime, we could root for our computer numbers to improve with these results:
Colgate over Holy Cross 12pm
UConn over Houston 4pm
Iona over Saint Peters 7pm
Oakland over IUPUI 7:30pm
The Loyola/Ill State game may have bubble impact today if Ill State wins.
Only two I don’t see in are Notre Dame and Penn State.
Plus we need URI or Bona to win the A10 and Nevada win the MW.
Gonzaga over St.Marys could knock them out.
I suppose, I just don't see Loyola getting an at-large. There rpi is good, but when you look at their individual wins and losses, I don't think that resume would hold up in the end.
Unlikely. Buffalo won't play enough quality teams in their conference tourney to bump their number up siginifcantly.Could Buffalo swing back to q1 if they win conference tourney

UL or SU to me . if we beat Wake and both lose who gets in. I dont think both can get in without both winning the 2nd day game and one winning and the other losing probably bumps that team ahead too.. not to say we both couldnt/shouldnt be out already.
as good as the noon/2pm games were the afternoon/evening games almost all went the wrong way. would've been nice if 1 of texas, ucla, marquette, or smc could have lost. We made have righted the ship, which was almost an impossible feat today, but even with that, it feels like the intangibles are lining up so we almost for sure need to win 2 to even bother watching on sunday- as most have been saying.
USC is out now. IMO.errors:
l'vlle, penn st, notre dame are not in.
provy, ucla, nc st, usc are in.
syracuse, washington, ok st, loyola much closer to cut line than what you've listed

We have 900 games of opponent data. A few extra games of it will not move the opponent % of the formulas at this point. We can only really move it ourselves. Our RPI will not be a problem...our power numbers are mediocore.
Every little bit helps. A couple spots better in different categories is better than nothing.

:bat:So here was my biggest surprise from yesterday. As I spent too much time watching and posting about this stuff yesterday, I went into the office between 1 and 3 last night to catch up on a few things.
So I get home at 3:00 to my condo unit, throw on the TV for a few minutes, prep up for a few minutes in the washroom. I head to my bedroom, wiping off my face, totally undressed, and there is a random stranger in my bed drunk out of her mind. Scared the crap out of me. I must have left the door unlocked which is a bad habit I have when I only leave for a few hours.
So I ask her if she realizes where she is. She says not sure, but it's OK and just wants to continue sleep. I said I would give her a few minutes and to call someone, but she kept on sleeping. I went back to watch a bit of TV. She slept for another 45 minutes or so, she got up and we realize she was on the wrong floor... she lives on 6 and I live on 3.
Louisvile is in big trouble, there profile is much weaker than ours
