I am bringing this up just to show that we can have some high level comfort (not total comfort) based on our bracket matrix seeding.  Even if we lose Wednesday, the lowest I can see us falling to is around the 4th or 5th last team in on the matrix.

History of Teams "In on the Matrix" but left out by the committee;

2018 2nd Last In P12
2018 Last in WCC

2017 None

2016 5th Last in A-10
2016 3rd Last in WCC
2016 2nd Last in MWC

2015 5th Last in MWC
2015 4th Last in AAC

2014 Last in  AAC

2013 None

2012 Last In Big East

2011 5th Last in ACC
2011 4th Last in Big 12
2011 Last In WCC

2010 Last in SEC

2009 Last in MWC
 
[B]Some Facts[/B]
14 teams in 10 years

The last 8 above the line misses have been from non power conferences (I am including the 2018 P12 because it was basically a high mid major).

The distribution of seeds
6 - Last Team In
2 - 2nd Last team In
1 - 3rd Last team in
2 - 4th last team in
3 - 5th last team in

Our range with a loss in the ACC game is probably 3rd last in to 6th last in.  6 of those 40 teams have missed (about 15%).   But the odds are much lower if you are on a P5 school in that position.
