Resume Comparison Time

[jncuse]

Note - these are projected resumes including conference tourney (win games your are supposed to). These are 3 teams that are in.

Top 50 Wins: (Home unless indicated)

Syracuse - at Duke, St Bonnie, UConn (N), Texas A&M (N), Notre Dame
Michigan - Texas (N), Maryland, Purdue, Iowa (projected - and hardly a guarantee)
Tulsa - Wichita, UConn, Cincy, at SMU

Other Top 100 Wins
Syracuse - 4
Michigan - None
Tulsa - 4

Bad Losses
Syracuse - St, John;s
Michigan - None
Tulsa - Oral Roberts (H), at Memphis??

Why is it relevant showing us against 2 other teams that are in. Because there will likely be a few bubble busters. There is also not much upward push from the outside,

Alright, who's the wiseguy with the We are screwed vote?
Guess who I picked

 

[Alsacs]

Michigan is in trouble. They lost Levert for the season and their resume is thin.

We just need to beat Florida State or VPI next week are in.

 

[2-3zone]

Amazing how close the comparison is between SU and Tulsa

 

[Alsacs]

The fact people think we are one Florida State loss from being when teams like UConn, Cincinnati, Gonzaga are projected barely in makes me laugh.

If we lose to FSU then we need top win our first ACCT game. If we win one of our next 2 games we are in. If we lose both we could be in trouble but we won't.

I notice that everybody that tends to follow the tourney / bubble process the most this year on the board (Alsacs, Pearl, Chris, myselfm and I am sure I am excluding others), all feel quite confident in the 1-1 scenario over the next 2 games.

I am not ready to say that 1-1 is 100%. There's some judgment and uncertainty that all goes wrong around us, but I am ready to say 80%+ at this point. Has been my prediction all season.

The quality of the top 50 wins is clearly better for us.

Iowa at Michigan game is a big one this weekend. A loss knocks them out in my view.

Not really.

I'm not following it as much as you guys, I'm really relying on you guys for a lot of info, but I will feel pretty confident with one win before the end of th eyear

 

[2-3zone]

Not really.

OOC schedule is much better for Tulsa

How does JB let that happen?

 

[EnnisEnvy]

The only resume' I care about is mine and I don't need it anymore.
Win the next game.

Well for one our RPI OOC is better. The bad teams they played just happened to be less bad than the bad teams we played.

Since when has Georgetown and St. Johns been this bad? Do you do research before you ask these questions?

 

[CorduroyG]

1-1 i think we're a lock, 9 or 10 seed

1-2 i think we're in the first four. but obviously if we're in the first four we're close enough to be in the first four OUT!!

 

[Brooky03]

I want to take a dump on Tulsa for beating essentially nobody, but I did that with Xavier and got everybody's panties in a twist.

I voted SU.

 

[jncuse]

91 and 111 is pretty tight. And that number is easily corrupted by a few games of RPI teams of 250 or less.

Our OOC SOS is right in line with many P5 schools.

Did you notice the OOC RPI?

Expected Conference Record: 10-10?????????????????

I don't want to jinx anything, but how is that our expected conference record? We'll be favorites for the FSU game and the 1st round ACCT game, no?

No.
Slight dogs @ FSU I'd imagine.

That record assumes a loss to FSU, win over VPI in ACCT and then a loss to UNC in the ACCT. I think we are 1 point dogs at FSU.

 

[Brooky03]

No.
Slight dogs @ FSU I'd imagine.

Why?

We'll be dogs on Saturday

 

[Knicks411]

Why?

Most of the power rating systems don't have FSU that far behind us, and the game is at their place. Pomeroy has FSU -4, our rating does include the games without JB, so maybe Vegas has it -2.5?

But they're 4th from last in the ACC and we beat them by nearly 20 in the Dome...

it really comes down to a KenPom-like efficiency rating - despite their record and what we did to them, KenPom (and Vegas) find them to be slightly more efficient than us, with the homecourt tipping the scales
