Cal is 1-6 against the top 50, 3-3 against 51-100.

We are 1-4 against the top 50 and 1-0 against 51-100.

MSU is 5-8, 4-4

Iowa St is 5-7, 4-2

Miami is 3-9, 4-1

And how many of those wins are on road or neutral courts.

[HenryMuto]

This is probably one of the best rankings/brackets I have seen out there. This guy is really in tune I think with how the teams sit as of now.

And how many of those wins are on road or neutral courts.

Cal had one road win against top 50 and one neutral win against 51-100.

WSU has one road win against 51-100.

MSU has one neutral top 50 (us) and one road against 51-100

Iowa St has 1 neutral and 3 road wins all against top 50.

Miami has 1 neutral and 1 road, both against 51-100.

Im rooting for the 6 seed. Again. Thats my story and Im sticking to it. We win out and it will be ours. But may gt dicked with a shitty 5 seed. 8 or 9 if we win out would be a huge dick, but I think we can get through it.

St Loo will tell us a lot.

Middle Tennessee's resume is significantly better for an at-large than Wichita State or Illinois State. Beat UNCW and won at Belmont by 13.

What are the people over at CBS smoking this year?! They have Seth Davis believing this garbage too. MTSU has home losses to Tennessee St and Georgia St and a road loss to UTEP. Since when did we just start looking at wins and completely forget about who a team has lost to?

Middle Tennessee's resume is SIGNIFICANTLY better.

This is getting ridiculous.

I had to google UNCW to figure out what the acronym stood for. Sounds like a "significantly better" resume than ours.

Marshall must have just pounded his wife right in front of Jerry and left her begging for more.

WTF?

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

I know everyone's concerned about what we don't have control over (a bid if we lose the tourney) but kind of ignored for a month or so......what seed do the Shocks get/deserve if they win out? 5 games. Evansville, Missouri State, say Bradley, UNI, ISU. 30-4 (admittedly 29-4 for seeding purposes) gets you what seed? Go.

Get: 8
Deserve: 6

The same team that owns losses to 137 RPI Georgia State (At Home), 154 RPI Tennessee State (At Home) and 261 RPI UTEP.

This talk wouldn't bother me much .. except it's all CBS guys talking this .. You can't convince me that CBS doesn't have pull with the selection committee.

I would love for the Shockers to play in that Region but Sean Miller at Arizona will need medical assistance if that story unfolds for his team!

Hate this time of year. Win two games by an average of 24 points .. move down a seed line.

And they reel in the coveted Murfreesboro / C-USA viewing audience, too. No wonder Rothstein and CBS love them. Fear the Blue! (Raiders, that is)
