If either team goes undefeated through the MVC Tournament they would absolutely receive a 2 seed, with an outside shot at a 1 seed.
I like to beat the "no respect" drum as much as anyone, but you guys are really selling short the ceiling on this team. Having 2 elite teams in the league this year is hugely beneficial for seeding, especially if one can steamroll the other.
Rpiforecast.com shows that going undefeated for the rest of the regular season would leave us with an RPI of 9.8. Throw in a win over a top 50ish Bracketbuster opponent and 3 wins in the MVC tournament and you can adjust that upwards closer to an RPI of 5. Our record against the RPI Top 50 would be 7-0 or 8-0 based on current projections depending on the BB opponent. Poll mechanics would work strongly in our favor as well- being ranked #20 this early in the year puts us about 3 weeks ahead of when we broke in last season and rose as high as #12. We'd enter the MVC tournament around #5 would be my guess. I know this is all a longshot and conjecture at this point, but you guys have got to shed the mid-major mindset.
We aren't last year's Murray State flavor of the week. There is enough fuel in the hype machine to carry us to the highest level of seeding.Last edited by Guest; January 22, 2013, 12:33 PM.
