Hey, look at that bubble...http://sports.yahoo.com/featured/ncaab/bigboard/
-
Huh...wasn't expecting that.
-
Iowa may want to wake up if they don't want to find themselves in a first round NCAA matchup against a better team than them.
-
Yeah, they are really similar, which is why they are together at the end of the bubble. :) In the name of full disclosure, Teams A and D split on the year, teams E and F split on the year, teams A and D beat team H, and team D beat team F. That info might just allow the more savvy folks to figure out who they are.

For fun though, here's the current "end of the bubble", in random order. http://i.imgur.com/PZX0VsB.png Rank these 8 teams. Right now, just two of them are in.

2014 Draft Discussion
bukie replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
dream scenario: Rodon at 4 All that really needs to happen is for Houston to talk themselves into someone else. Counting on Florida and the WS to screw up their draft slots is almost a given. -
Here's a team everyone considers a lock that I'd question: Kansas State. What is their best win away from home? EDIT: Their road/neutral wins: Long Beach State in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Tulane in Brooklyn, at TCU, at Texas Tech, and vs. Gonzaga in Wichita, KS (practically a home game...)
-
I'll post updated info once the games from today are over, since teams that haven't played yet can still add value. I'm just not sure about how Illinois is where they are right now.
-
All I can really do is swear that I'm not building any bias into the data. EDIT: As the data goes, Illinois passed Clemson, Georgetown, Utah, Indiana, Missouri, Green Bay, Arkansas, St. John's, and Tennessee (who will re-pass Illinois if they win tonight).
-
So, if I go just by value based on T1 wins being worth double, T2 wins normal, T3 wins half, T1 losses half, T2 losses even, T3 losses double, Illinois makes the field as the last team in. If I used my adjusted value by factoring in efficiency, Illinois is the second to last team out (ahead of Tennessee) behind Kansas State, with Stanford being the last in.
-
Updated my data based on games thus far today and updated KP ratings. First thought...damn it, Illinois, what are you doing there?!
-
Until today, their worst loss was home to Creighton. N/R wins against Kansas, Iowa, St. Joe's, Marquette, Xavier, Georgetown, St. John's, and Providence, all at least in mention for potential tourney teams, and 8 such wins is more than most. Big East was better than many give it credit for top to bottom (only DePaul was really bad), and they won that.
-
What is this? How soon you forget about Illinois last tourney game. EDIT: I am referring to reviewing possession on an out-of-bounds play.
-
Illinois rule being used a ton today.
-
Exhibit A of "Louisville looks good in efficiency because they run up the score on weaker teams" in full effect today.
-
Louisville unceremoniously showing Rutgers the exit door on the conference.
-
I think if Wisconsin wins the Big Ten tournament they take the 1 seed from them If Wisconsin takes a 1 seed from anyone, it might be Wichita.
-
you think they deserve to be, or you think that the committee will still make them a 1 seed (or both)? Both, they're at the top of my list.
-
Even with the bad loss today, I still think Nova is a 1 seed easy.
-
I had them in the bubble list.
-
Villanova is so bad. They lost to Seton Hall. No way they make it out of the first weekend, right? Are we basing it on today only or the whole season where the worst of Villanova's 3 losses before today was to Creighton and two of OSU's 8 losses were to Penn State? Two of Syracuse's losses were home to BC and GT. Overall, Ohio State is probably a 6 seed, and they wouldn't even be expected to make it out of the first weekend.

Arizona is murdering Utah's tourney chances.
-
It's like murderer's row all over again. We should get a t-shirt made to commemorate. :good: In fairness...it seemed like a good idea at the time, before it became a symbol of disaster in the Dusty era.
