And this is why nobody gets to discuss the merits of their own team in this committee, and their own conference in the real committee.
-
Wyoming steals an at-large bid, Buffalo and SFA win to preserve their bids. Only potential bid thief tomorrow is UConn. Georgia something will win the Sun Belt too late to be relevant.
-
Take Tulsa out of the field now. Tulsa was never in the field, so that should be easy.
-
UConn beat Tulsa, and will play SMU in the AAC final tomorrow.
-
Wyoming leads San Diego State at the half in the MWC final. If that holds up, that would steal a bid.
-
Harvard beats Yale to win the Ivy league. I see the two as interchangeable, so I don't see that spot moving.
-
Also, once the protected seeds are settled, we can start bracketing and tossing teams to pods.
-
As you posted on the last page, UCSB is out. It's either Hawaii or UC Irvine. Thanks, fixed now.
-
Also for discussion: - Notre Dame and UNC could be in line for bump ups after yesterday's performances. - Right now, we have seeds 1-7, and seeds 13-16 ranked, so only the mediocre middle is left. If anyone thinks a valid team is missing from the lists today, let us know. EDIT: Added UConn.
-
For today/tonight: - Rank the following teams in order: San Diego St. Davidson Cincinnati Oregon Georgia Oklahoma St. St. John's Texas Purdue Indiana Xavier UCLA Boise St. Stephen F. Austin (Southland) North Carolina St. LSU -- Rank these teams in order (6 spots for 13 teams, including the 2 auto bids): Ole Miss Valparaiso (Horizon) Wofford (Southern) Dayton Colorado St Temple BYU Miami FL Tulsa Illinois Texas A&M Stanford UConn

The committee doesn't follow kenpom at all, it follows RPI (which is worse, but they do). Also, this committee already has a top 16 and I'll have the next 8-12 out shortly after running some errands this morning.
-
Other late games: Norfolk State, the 2 seed in the MEAC, was also upset yesterday, so the MEAC champ (Hampton or Delaware State) will for sure be in the play-in game. UC Davis and UC Santa Barbara, the top 2 seeds in the Big West, were upset last night, so the Big West champ will be either Hawaii or UC Irvine.
-
Also, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if the committee gives Zona the 1 seed out west if they win the Pac-12 tournament.
-
Virginia lost to UNC in the ACC semis, which could be enough to bump them from the top line.
-
My second 16: The rest of my field: Also, I suggest bumping the MEAC champ down into the end of the play-in.
-
UNC Central just lost in the MEAC semis, leaving the winner of the MEAC as a terrible team.
-
Auburn continues to show how bad the SEC is outside Kentucky.
-
Also, Illinois is probably in the field with a win yesterday, as their profile is still borderline even now.
-
I've noticed that there isn't much difference between Tulsa and Murray State's profile, but that says more about Tulsa than Murray State.
-
Just enough to fill 68 is fine. Just don't forget to include all the auto bids. If my addition is right, that would be a list of 28 teams.
-
I'll clean this up later when I don't have to type via phone, but next steps: -Rank the following 16 teams: North Carolina Utah Georgetown Butler West Virginia SMU Providence Arkansas Iowa VCU Ohio State San Diego State Michigan State Davidson Cincinnati Oregon -Rank the rest of the field including the rest of the auto bids.

Teams off the at large board: Florida Arizona State Stanford Vanderbilt Alabama Saint Mary's Richmond Buffalo Rhode Island Illinois State
