2017-2018 Bracketology

[Play Angry]

Sweet lord can you imagine the meltdown on Selection Sunday if Kansas gets a 6, 7, or 8 seed and draws us in R32?

I could probably contain my glee if I had to but why fight the feeling.

So who is the clown that keeps giving us a 9 seed? Jerry is that you?

No longer a 9 but an 8.

Good Lord. KU is a 3 with their Washington loss NOT considered a "bad loss." Who's paying this clown?

No one. It's a generic blog by a rando.

The problem with Bracket Matrix is that anyone can get their projections on there. I could start a blog right now and throw up random projections, and could get it included.

[Cdizzle]

I think you should.

[Kel Varnsen]

I'll include WSU as the overall #1 seed and a bunch of SWAC/MEAC/Patriot League Teams as at-large bids. Will be a good time.

[Cdizzle]

Make sure to include 1-2 of the bluebloods. It's easy to laugh off when everybody is discounted. People get mad when their team is discounted and others aren't.

[wufan]

Right now teamrankings.com projects the American with 3.8 teams...WSU, UC, Houston, and SMU.

[pogo]

So which team only gets to suit up 12 guys.

[Cdizzle]

I vote SMU. They only use like 6 anyway.

[WuShock16]

Lunardi has us as a 2 in the East bracket with Villanova as 1.

Drake is the 15 seed. HAHA!

Texas A&M is the 7. Wouldn’t be thrilled with getting matched with a Texas school in Dallas.

Syracuse is the 10.

[pogo]

Spring football and football recruiting will be going on and no one in Texass will even pay attention to basketball.

[shocks02]

WSU-Drake matchup in Dallas? Too good to be true.

I'd rather play Bradley

[Stickboy46]

i'd rather not play any Valley school. They would have a better scout and motivation than any other teams in the nation. That combined with most of the teams willingness to launch 3's ... i'd rather avoid that possibility.

[1979Shocker]

Remember when we were still in the Valley and Creighton didn't want to play any of us after they left? We're doing the same thing and probably for the same reasons.

[ShockerPrez]

After all the talk about how WSU leaving would give a better chance for an NCAA bid....

If Drake won the league, just lol.

[ShockerDropOut]

I have no problem playing a Valley team in the tourney. We have just as much motivation to curb stomp them as they do to upset us. OOC is a different matter. They are all buy games at this point until they can prove some sort of sustained success. We don't need an RPI drag any more now than we did when we were part of the conference. That is the difference between what we are doing and what CU did. We had a proven track record of sustained success and CU still wouldnt play us, still WON'T play us. ISUr is the lone exception in my book. They can go look for a paycheck elsewhere.
