Up to a 7 seed in the latest CBS bracketology

If they are going to give us a 7 seed, put us in Omaha with KU. Also they only have one PAC 12 team, Washington a 12 seed.

Lunardi's new bracket....we can only dream of this scenario.

According to Realtime RPI:

WSU has one great win (UNLV #10) and three good wins (CU #73, UNI #51, Missouri State #81) and one bad loss, Drake #120. (Any 100+ loss is bad)

Tulsa sits at #108. If they continue to win, WSU victory could be a top 100 win. Also, Drake, Ill State and Indiana State all have a chance to become top 100 wins. (which works well for CU too as does Tulsa.) Nebraska sits at #109.

CU has two great wins, three good wins and no bad losses. Great wins are WSU #27 and SDSU #20. Good wins are Northwestern #37, UNI #51, and MSU #81.

CU's strength of schedule is 89 while WSU's is 71.

These are fairly close resumes but CU does have the advantage with the resume.

I think when you look at game statistics, the way KenPom does, WSU has the edge. I believe some of that comes into play too.

Ken Pom has WSU #16 and CU #25.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe a bad loss is generally considered to be RPI 150+. I think the team info sheets given to the selection committee groups RPIs into 1-25, 1-50, 50-150, 150+. I may be off but I'm fairly certain that 100 isn't one of the delineations.

I don't think a road loss to a team with an RPI better than 150 will be considered bad.

I agree. I would LOVE a shot at Weber St.!!!

And I would love to see what Damian Lillard could do against KU.

I don't think a road loss to a team with an RPI better than 150 will be considered bad.

All of the Nitty Gritty reports I've seen for the last 2 years group teams into 1-50, 51-100, 101-200, and 201+.

That is a great bracket. A 7 seed Omaha, with a win we could face the 2 seed KU. I think most Shocker fans would like those games and location.

[WuDrWu]

I could be wrong, and it would hardly be the first time, but as much as Creighton fans dislike WSU, I would still think locals would be solidly behind the Shocks in that potential 2nd round matchup.

For sure, there would be a ton of beakers there.

[shocker22]

Sign me up for a trip to omaha if that scenerio happens! :)

[shocktheheart]

CBS has new bracket out and Shox a 7 seed playing New Mexico as well in this one. Not in Omaha or having a possible second round matchup with KU. Creighton is a 5 seed playing Miami in Portland with a possible second round matchup with St. Mary's.

Not for me. I don't want to see Thomas Robinson until the Elite 8, if ever.

[kochHead]

As of today CU has a resume that is almost identical to WSU. Only difference is they are 4-2 vs top 50 rpi, and we are 3-3. Of course that will change Saturday...

Yes, we'll both be 4-3.

I haven't caught a single game of theirs this season. Better than Kemba Walker?
