2017-2018 Bracketology

[Cdizzle]

Cincy needs to beat UCLA or they are going to get roasted for their non-con (as they should).

[AndShock]

Lunardi has now posted his weekly bracket. Hard to complain if this is how it ends up

Has he managed to put together a bracket that didn’t have us with a rematch in the first or second round?

[Cdizzle]

Nope.

[Kel Varnsen]

I don't really expect Lunardi to have all of the regions 100% accurate. The Bracketology exercise, while essentially futile as seeding is fluid, helps group together teams on or around certain seed lines. I'm cool with that.

[Cdizzle]

Why not? It's literally what he is paid to do every day. 15 years and he can't figure it out? Or figure out how to write a program to do it for him?

I really need his job.

[OregonShocker]

Well of course Kentucky is in our bracket

[WheatShock]

Lunardi has now posted his weekly bracket. Hard to complain if this is how it ends up

I found plenty to complain about.

Aren't top seeds supposed to have a travel advantage? Yet there's OU in Dallas with us while 3 seed KU gets to play in Wichita.

[Pigman]

Since WSU is hosting they can't participate. Would be nice though.

[AndShock]

ESPN posted the bracket on Facebook with Wichita State as a 1 seed in the headline. Not one of the comments (yet) is someone whining about Wichita State. I guess being in the AAC has changed public opinion before even playing a conference game.

[Mathman]

Lunardi has 4 AAC teams in the field and Houston among the first 4 out. I really think there is a chance to get 5 in this year. I see he has SMU (my school) in Dallas as well as a 10 seed. Not going to complain yet because we haven't played well at times and lost a couple of games we shouldn't have in the Battle for Atlantis tourny. We finally get the McMurray kid who transferred last year from USF. He's eligible for the Boise game. Y'all be gentle with us when you come visit Moody. We've won 29 home games in a row and don't want y'all to mess it up. Good luck against the Sooners.

Remember, WSU doesn’t gain the approval of the public until we’ve had a “quality loss.” We got that out of the way early this year. Had we beat ND they’d say ND was overrated and we haven’t played anyone yet lol.

[Zubcut]

I'm sure it will surprise no one that Jerry Palm lists the Shockers as a 4 seed in his latest bracket (Dec15).

[Cdizzle]

LOL, some of these guys are gonna be exposed for the haters they are now that they can't hide behind schedule smack talk.

[Dan]

He ranks 82nd over the last 5 years amongst brasketologists....

[rrshock]

His past 5 years record should make him disqualified from any bracketology.

The "so-called" Bracketologist that Seeded Wichita State "9", now has Wichita State as a "12-seed" and" Last four -in".

[InWuWeTrust]

seed-madness obviously doesn't understand math. it would take an epic meltdown of 2006-2007 proportions to earn a 12-seed. the mental toughness of this coaching staff won't allow that.

Jerry Palm?

For the record, that expert also has Missouri as a #1 seed.

Again, all you need is a blog and some fingers and you can be included in this thing. Absolutely no restrictions, which unfortunately hurts the matrix's image.

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

Tons of horrible individuals, but the average is pretty much your best source out there.

Which makes Jerry Palm's poor performance stand out that much more.

"Bracketology: North Carolina and a missed chance" - ESPN

By Joe Lunardi, ESPN Sports Analyst
Posted:12/21/17

http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology

"The Tar Heels were all set to move up and replace Wichita State as a No. 1 seed in Joe Lunardi's latest bracket. Then Wofford happened."

Shockers move back to the 2-Seed line in Dallas.

[Windiwu]

That's not bad but I think there will be a lot more changes coming. He has Oklahoma as a 5 seed and Kansas a 4 seed. I don't think KU can handle OU.
