Bracketology is wrong. No way ND is below a 5 if they win today against Cuse IMO. Their RPI is 33, but just about every other ratings system known to man has them in the top 20. Lunardi is very good. A 33 RPI hasn't been enough to get teams off the bubble in the past, and their 117th SOS doesn't help matters either. Yes, but the case you're referring to is when a mid-major bubble team has a 33 RPI, not when it's the 4th-place team in a conference that had 10 good teams this year. ND also has a 5-6 away-from-home record which is about average for a tournament team, and boasts a 7-3 record against RPI top 100 teams.
