Given that no team has ever won the MWC with one road loss or less, I don't seriously expect the following scenario to happen:<br /><br />What if BYU or SDSU were to run the table in-conference and win the MWC tournament? Would either of them stand a chance getting at a 1 seed under that scenario?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-86356919959631514912011-01-18T10:37:30.785-05:002011-01-18T10:37:30.785-05:00Barring a stunning loss at DePaul on Saturday, Pit...Barring a stunning loss at DePaul on Saturday, Pitt will be a 1 seed in our next bracket.<br /><br />Florida State has been so inconsistent (especially on the road lately) that it's almost impossible to predict their final record. The most likely scenario, though, is that the Noles finish 10-6 (at best 11-5) in conference and then win a couple of games in the ACC tournament. If they were to finish 12-4 and advance that far in the ACC tourney, as Timothy suggested, they would probably be right around a 6 seed.<br /><br />Pitt's win over Syracuse is huge for a couple of reasaons. It gives them an early one-game lead in conference, and it's almost a given that the Big East regular season champ will get a 1 seed. The win also gives the Panthers three top 25 RPI wins and six quality wins on the year (Syracuse, UConn, Texas, Georgetown, Marquette, and Maryland). Syracuse, by comparison, has three top 25 RPI wins as well (Michigan State, Notre Dame, and St. John's), but those wins aren't as impressive as Pitt's. They also have a win over Cincinnati and a chance to pick up another quality win this weekend as Villanova visits the Carrier Dome.Bracketology 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277396896660963269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-79430546125967379842011-01-18T10:05:27.581-05:002011-01-18T10:05:27.581-05:00Very interesting write up for this week.

I was anxious to log on and see what the update would be.<br /><br />As Nole fan I am happy to see that they are back in the field with the great week that they had. If they were to finish 12-4 and make it to the ACCT Semis or CG, do you think that would be enough to crack a top 6 seed? I know their OOC is going to hurt them, I am just hoping that it isn't too much.<br /><br />Also I think the BE tops out at 10 this year. I realize it is the strongest conference, but 8-10 in conference getting in? I wouldn't think that would happen without a couple of wins in the BET. <br /><br />I would like to hear your thoughts on what the Pitt win does for their resume as well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17617103616941304627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-60184620074872827852011-01-18T08:10:30.249-05:002011-01-18T08:10:30.249-05:00Where do you see FSU finishing at, record-wise.Where do you see FSU finishing at, record-wise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-11119523599949601622011-01-18T03:35:14.783-05:002011-01-18T03:35:14.783-05:00What do you project florida state finishing at?What do you project florida state finishing at?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-27873012118571878322011-01-17T23:17:55.856-05:002011-01-17T23:17:55.856-05:00The Big Ten is so tough, I have a hard time seeing...The Big Ten is so tough, I have a hard time seeing PSU going better than 9-9, which won't be good enough to make the tourney. <br /><br />Does Pitt replace Syracuse as a 1 seed next week?give me the brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394822811215045045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-52376431134055746962011-01-17T15:10:31.369-05:002011-01-17T15:10:31.369-05:0011-7 will be tough for Penn State.

If a conference has eight bids or less, than teams from that conference cannot meet until the Elite Eight (and two teams per region max). If a conference has nine or more than they are allowed to meet in the round of 32 (now called the third round) as a worst case scenario. This bracket provides that worst case scenario, with the Big Ten having four teams on 1, 4, and 5 lines and the Big East having six teams on lines 1 through 5. Now last year the committee ignored their own rules by having two potential Sweet 16 matchups for the Big East despite having only eight teams in the field. Here is the link to the latest bracketing principles and procedures (keep in my mind that what we used to know as the first/second rounds are now called second/third rounds, the four opening games are the first round):<br /><br />http://www.ncaa.com/sites/default/files/files/BracketPrin-Proc10-5-10.pdfmatt rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-57204736159080018422011-01-17T11:45:57.606-05:002011-01-17T11:45:57.606-05:00data taken from realtimerpi.com
Discounting wins ...data taken from realtimerpi.com<br /><br />Discounting wins over teams ranked below 150 in RPI (who cares?), here are two teams:<br /><br />Team A 5-3, average rank of top 150 wins: 128.6, average rank of losses: 14.3. Best win is ranked #110, worst loss is ranked #34.<br /><br />Team B 5-3, average rank of top 150 wins: 45.6, average rank of losses: 22. Best win is ranked #11, worst loss is ranked #41.<br /><br />Identical record against teams with a pulse. Team A's wins aren't nearly as good as Team B's, but their losses are slightly more forgivable.<br /><br />Team A is Wichita State, who is in the "last four in." Team B is Kentucky, who is a 2(!) seed.<br /><br />Any decision made concerning Wichita State (in or not and where they're seeded) suffers from the fact that they haven't played a single team ranked between #34 and #110. A team whose best win is against the #110 team should be solidly out. A team whose worst loss is to the #34 team and is undefeated against teams below #34 should be solidly in. Wichita State is both of these teams.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-79005185078532058042011-01-17T11:21:58.644-05:002011-01-17T11:21:58.644-05:00What do you think it will take for Penn State?

If the bottom feeders in the conference continue to get rolled over (see Providence, Seton Hall, Depaul, and Rutgers) then 11 bids are possible. But it is likely that these teams knock off some of the heavyweights and midweights at some point in the season and ruin some tourney hopes. 8-10 in conference with some wins over Big East teams in the top of the standings will earn the Cinci's and Marquette's a bid though, especially if the conference continues to beat up on fellow BCS conferences in their last few OOC matchups.Bracketology 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277396896660963269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-8498884107184879182011-01-17T02:31:09.927-05:002011-01-17T02:31:09.927-05:00Sorry B101 your my favorite bracketologist but the...Sorry B101 your my favorite bracketologist but the Big East will not get 11 bids.
