Jncuse

Alsacs was all over USC, when I excluded them from my 9 for 2 assessment yesterday... convinced me to make it 10 for 2 this afternoon.

 

[rrlbees]

The 3 of them were doing work.

 

[MGP]

All do a bang up job. Makes the weeks prior extremely enjoyable. Much appreciated.

 

[MSOrange]

Awesome work by all 3 but we better not be so emotionally invested next year.

I didn't make the call for us... I just said were on a list, and pick from a hat.

The only thing I will take credit for (with others as well such as Pearl, Chris, Tm) is spreading the message to not oversell what it take to make the tourney over the last month of the season. These bubbles are always weak. If anything a few times in the last week, I fell into the same trap.

well of course jn is the king of all things bubble - but I didn't see that he had us definitely in prior to selection show...

 

[Chris02M]

hopefully next year we will be safely in our regular place of top 4 seed. It was great having these discussions and the others helped with usc as i had thought they were in before the discussions convinced me otherwise

I want next year to be what we need to do to strut our stuff as a top seed in Hartford.

I miss doing my top 16 posts when we were fighting for pods.
I don’t care to do the work unless we are actually in contention for them.

I will say I just piggy back off jncuse and Jerry Palm for bubble analysis.
They get the teams correct and then it’s just studying the numbers without being bias.

 

[Chris02M]

yea realtime rpi is also very helpful

 

[Alsacs]

What did in St.Mary’s they didn’t schedule anyone.
Apparently Rhode Island offered them a home/home with the home game for them this year at St.Mary’s and they declined.
Rhody played at Nevada instead.

Also St. Mary's lost to Georgia and Washington State in Wooden Legacy. Those were bottom tier P5 teams and they lost to both on neutral floors.

 

[pearl31]

didn't post it, but my gut call was Out for us - thought it would ND in with SU and lvlle out

 

[AZOrange]

No kudos for my reverse jinx?!?

 

[Briancuse]

No doubt they put in a lot of work to help us out.

The killer was that Creighton also offered them a game and they said no. The same Creighton who has an AD who Chaired the selection committee and ripped St Marys for their soft non conference schedule on national tv.

I only new jn's posts before this year. Super happy with all the contributions that gave me hope. Even though it was 25%...

 

[Jake]

Yeah. I tried to do this one year and realized it was a shitton of work.

Glad you guys are around and hope we don't need you next year.

We have the best bubble experts because we have more experience unfortunately.

 

[Obie9]

Yes, you guys are awesome!!!!! Thank you for all your hard work on the bubble analysis. I enjoyed reading what our chances for inclusion into the tournament were like, and who to cheer for each day other then Syracuse. Now I have to figure out how to get to Dayton.

 

[NineOneSeven]

I hope they can do this every year, even if SU is either solidly in (hopefully) or out (rare, hope it continues).

It's fun to track.
