Games of Interest (2015-16 Edition)

Unless some power 5s steal bids, like if kstate won the big 12, I still feel really good about wsu getting in.

What did he say?

Greenberg stated that Monmouth just doesn't have enough Top 50 wins to make the field. Lunardi countered by saying if the decision came down to Monmouth and their 3 Top 50 wins and a middling P5 school with their 3 or 4 Top 50 wins, he'd give the nod to Monmouth. Why? Monmouth doesn't get the same number of opportunities as middling P5 school does at Top 50 wins and Top 50 games at home. A P5 school with a 4-12 record vs. the Top 50 just doesn't do it for him, vs. a 3-1 or something like Monmouth. Some of these people just look at teams with 5 Top 50 wins and say they should be in. They don't look deeper and see that said team had 13 chances at Top 50 wins, with many on their home courts.

This point can be made about WSU as well and I made it in another thread. If WSU had 12 game against Top 50 opponents this year, and half of them were at home, I'd say WSU would have a pretty good chance at pulling out at least 6 of those. And boom, now WSU has 6 Top 50 wins. It's all about opportunities and the P5 schools stack them in their favor thanks to scheduling home garbage in the non-con and then playing all of these teams in conference.

Quick: KU Wife has left the mancave, Will we play KU again, and if so, will we beat them?
I'm depending upon your discretion, can you help a brutha out?

Can it really be called a 'mancave' if you have to wait for the 'Wife' to leave to consult shockernet?

ETSU coming back - down by 5 with 13 minutes left

You can't ignore 3 x 200+ losses. Wsu is ahead of Monmouth in every category

Instead of Evansvilled, they were Armied and Manhattaned.

Monmouth vs WSU in First Four?

One media darling vs another?

Could see it happening

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

Non-Conf RPI is 100 points higher than ours.

See, I can make stats work for me too.

Made up stats don't count. "Non-con RPI is 100 pts higher than WSU's"? Where did you pull out that false stat?

For what it is worth, I think Lunardi is wrong about Monmouth. 95% chance they are out. 100% chance they are behind WSU.

The night of FN carnage. Glad to see one #1 seed out of 9 leagues won at least.........

Will Kunkel calls Monmouth losing is horrible news for WSU

[Shockers5150]

I think kunkel later said he was just stirring the pot. He thinks wsu will get in.

Keller Marshall destroyed Seth Davis on Twitter. It's worth finding. Davis said both valpo and Monmouth had better resumes than WSU.

I've seen quite a few media types say Monmouths resume is better and it's not close. I really don't get it? I look at it and can only find one thing better. They have 1 more top 50 win. Everything else is edge WSU.
