Michigan state on the bubble?

[orangebabe]

why isn't anyone talking about Michigan state being on the bubble? They have 1 more win than syracuse, and the same conference record in a horrible conference. Why no talk of them being on the bubble?

It's the stupid bad losses thing again.

 

[Chris02M]

They have a bunch more road neutral site wins

 

[Jasonrob44]

They played an absolutely BRUTAL OOC schedule as well.

They don't have any quality road wins and they should have lost to Fgc had it not been for the refs.

No quality road wins and should have lost to Florida gulf coast had the refs not made a terrible call

They played an absolutely BRUTAL OOC schedule as well.

And we played a brutal conference schedule, which they did not and still had the same conference record.

 

[pearl31]

it is a pretty close comparison, but at the end of the day their neutral-WichSt and @Minny wins will squeak them by

 

[wallacecuse]

Their AD is the committee chair...

 

[pearl31]

oh yeah and all hail Saint Izzo

I don't disagree, but the committee looks at ooc, and road/neutral games. Just pointing it out...

I was ranting about this to friends all week. We hear how SU gets by lately on reputation, but MSU being "safely in" is the ultimate in reputation-not-reality situation. They aren't good.

Their resume is good enough to get them in though. That's what matters

 

[CorduroyG]

They'll be a 9 seed

But he will leave the room when MSU is discussed. Wink wink

It is, and I contend SU's is, too. The chasm of perception between the two is my issue.

 

[Hoo's That]

No. They'll be an 11 seed and play us in the 6 v. 11 game. Sisyphus was fated to roll a boulder up a hill and have it roll back down for eternity, Sparty is our boulder.

They are in safely.

 

[pearl31]

They are in safely.

I wouldn't say safely - I'd say without the Wich st W they'd be right where we are

That's all it takes from safe to bubble this year, imo. 1 quality road/neutral W it seems. I think they are a 9 or 10 which is pretty safe.
