One thing I'll say about Lunardi - he's a lazy son of a gun. He updates his brackets about three times a week. Whenever you're ready, Joe.
i think starting next week he updates daily and sometimes more than once on saturday and sunday

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
I always down Big came back and beat Saint peters
Also Colgate won Yukon lost and Oaklands in a dog fight
I put together some stats to make everything easier to find in one spot. Nothing you won't find anywhere else, just easier to read and formulate IMO. I took the last 10 in and the first 8 out based on the Bracket Matrix most current update.

not that it helps all the much but cornell has a shot to win the ivy and get in
Might be in their favor. After all, they had to play all season without their coach.In the back of the minds of the committee, all of lvilles troubles could play a role.
I'm basically using the criteria the committee has stressed the last 2-3 seasons, only with quadrants. I'm going to have to do more research to see what really has changed, as I was under the assumption that they were going with what has worked for them recently. Like if individual RPI is actually used again.
Maybe someday the committee will be consistent with their criteria.
I agree with you. As you have acknowledged, I believe the eye test should be one element of the process and would be disappointed if they don't use it. They can deny it but we know it's a factor. It has to be. I can just imagine a committee member being asked about XYZ University. "Uh I don't know, I've never seen them play... but they have an RPI of 44." Thx pal.
We're a 12!I turned my love for bubble talk into a new bracketology blog, if anyone wants just one more opinion!

Harvard and Penn are tied at 12-2 in the Ivy league. Cornell has been eliminated. Princeton, who won the league last year, has had a disastrous year.
Cornell is the 4th seed. A long shot for sure, but not eliminated.
Updated this morning, Jerry still has us as the 2nd of the last 4 in, playing Texas in Dayton.

I'm really surprised he doesn't have Baylor and Virginia Tech anywhere on the bubble. Yet has Providence and UCLA pretty safely in and considers Utah, Boise State and Washington worthy of 'First Four Out' status.Updated this morning, Jerry still has us as the 2nd of the last 4 in, playing Texas in Dayton.

You're right. Forgot they now have a quasi-postseason tourney.
Oh wow, I didn't realize that
I got Syracuse -Baylor and Texas-Alabama last 4.
St. Bonaventure as the last team not in First 4.
First out USC.
