Brackets and Rankings: 2024-2025

Even if we win out, going 1-8 in q1 games is going to be a tough sell for inclusion imo.

Agreed. And 1-9 currently, since TCU is up to a Q1 L now

[GoMuskies]

We'll end up with another Q1 opportunity or two (or three!) in MSG.

I would say 14 are bubble or better. Only LSU and SC are out at this point. I think the actual number will be 12.

I agree that 12 will probably end up being the number, possibly 11. Based on schedules, Oklahoma and Georgia are going to keep losing. They both kinda suck, but have been propped up by a good SEC.

It's going to be interesting for the committee about considering SEC teams that go 7-11 on conference. I can see that happening for teams like Vandy and Arkansas. I don't care how good their metrics are, or how good the league is. When you are 4 games under .500, i don't think you should be invited to the dance.

I wonder if the committee will take a deep look at the fact that X lost 2 of their quad 1 games with Free sidelined and X was right down to the wire in both of those games. Plus, X got BOC'd in the Marquette game, and BOC'd in SJU.

Oklahoma was being propped up by their undefeated out of conference schedule that included wins over Michigan, Arizona and Louisville. Playing in the SEC has been their demise as they are on the verge of playing themselves out of the field.

So…there is no pac12 this year, right? Is there one extra at large bid? Wasn’t sure with all the conference shuffle.

Teamrankings gives X a 40% chance as of this morning. It’s pretty big turnaround from that St. John’s home loss. Too many close losses that we handed over, just one of those switches and we’re fine. I just think Creighton is a matchup nightmare. I don’t see us beating them

I understand that...but when you are 3-10 in any other league, you're not even in consideration at this point.

Others may disagree, but with Creighton, I'd really like to try Hugley a lot. If anything, he at least makes Kalk work on offense. He's not the best defender by any means, but hes a hundred times better than Free, and can at least rough Kalk up a bit. Use all five fouls

Exactly, they are beginning to get dropped from the field by some. And based on their schedule remaining, I don't see how they end up winning enough games.

Yeah with their schedule, I agree they are going to play themselves out. I think Georgia will do the same… that leaves Arkansas, vandy, Texas. I think Texas makes it because their schedule is pretty doable the rest of the way.. Arkansas and vandy are going to be right on the bubble line imo
