@AU_Godfather But you’re not insinuating that Steven Pearl is, or will ever be as good as Oats right?
Or are you really doing the ‘Hugh Freeze had the same record as Nick Saban’ thing here?
@bamaperspective Yeah they are exactly tied in bracket matrix now. I agree with most of what you said. One luxury is that Gonzaga is done. So one or two wins here late might do it.
🚨 10 days until Selection Sunday! My updated field below ⤵️
The Winners 📈
- The last 2 seed is very much up for grabs... Illinois holds it for now. Going to be quite the battle in Chicago next week at the B1G Tournament between Michigan St, Illinois, Purdue, and Nebraska to shake out these 2/3 seeds (I do think MSU is easily ahead of the other three at this moment)
- Wisconsin and Miami FL both jump from an 8 to a 7. Looking ahead, Wisconsin as a 7 could potentially share a pod with 2-seeded Florida (sorry Badger fans for the Chris Chiozza flashback)
- TCU has a crazy resume with amazing wins and terrible losses... but have to feel pretty comfortable if you are a Horned Frogs fan following the win over Texas Tech
- VCU and Indiana both handle their business this week and enter the field, mostly at the expense of other teams losing
The Losers 📉
- With how strong the top 3 teams are in Michigan, Duke, and Arizona, I would not want to be on the 8/9 line. Utah State, losers of 3 of their last 4 including an awful showing at UNLV, now find themselves right in that spot
- The bubble is volatile... NC State, Missouri, and Texas all drop from the 9/10 line to the 10/11 line
- New Mexico loses at home to Colorado State and falls out of the field
- I was tweeting about this a bit yesterday, but SMU really could use a win on Saturday at Florida State to stabilize their odds
With Miami OH now clinching the 1 seed in the MAC, they have replaced Akron as the AQ. This freed up a bubble spot for Indiana, who would have been the first team OUT in a 2-bid MAC.
I made some really cool updates to my website this week, please give it a look and a share! The 'bracketology' tab on the side menu has everything you need to compare resumes and see where your favorite team stacks up 👊

@blakebyler45 His last two games he’s combined for 5 points, 4 turnovers, 8 fouls, 2-14 shooting.
Hopefully his freshman wall ends this week and he can get back to double-double Amari.
@bamaperspective@joecorona_real I appreciate the optimism. But 1) that’s not happening. And 2) you’re forgetting ‘22 A&M that was on the bubble, rattled off 7 wins, played in SEC champ, and was left out.
@bamaperspective@joecorona_real Nah, that was it. Which is sad because tech lost and Kansas may lose another game. It was a perfect opportunity to move up finishing 10-0.
I haven’t seen any evidence, any year, that the postseason tournaments matter.
It’ll be a 4 seed and a tough road.
