    Looking good.
    Thanks for sharing this website; easy to play around with possible scenarios.

        Wait, is fever hammering me for things I said in Nov/Dec by claiming I never post in... Nov/Dec?

        lol

    • Maybe playing guys 35+ minutes per game in November exhibitions doesn't actually pay off in February and March. Just a thought.

      • What is everyone’s opinion on whether Ou should get an at large? Most bracketologists have them firmly in as a 9/10 but having lost 10 of their last 15 and only winning one conference road game all year has me questioning their merit. They do have a whole lot of “good losses” though.

          If I'm the NCAA, a TV network broadcasting March Madness games, a Big-Time company spending mutli-million dollars to advertise on those networks, a Shoe Company or an Agent...I WANT Oklahoma...uhh-ummm...I mean TRAE YOUNG in THE TOURNAMENT!!!!!!

          If I'm a fan of college basketball, a Non-Money gatherer from the sport....and a college basketball fan who believes in a win-loss record and doesn't think Oklahoma deserves a "gift"...then I don't want Oklahoma in the tournament.

          Guess who wins that debate. It starts with the letter "M" and ends with a "Y".

            That didn't work out so well for LSU and Ben Simmons.

          • Every one of those would be a loss today. That’s not who they are now.

              I think it is easy. If every game counts equally, OU gets in.

              If Feb counts more than Nov, OU should go to the NIT.

              just gotta pick a philosophy.

                OU is a bit of a special case here. Sure, you'd like for every game to count equally, but holy crap, OU looks like a team that has mailed it in. They are terrible. I doubt they will, but I hope the committee takes into account their level of suck lately and decides to let a team that's more deserving in over OU. Like perhaps OSU for example.

                  I agree @ShockerPhi

                  Committee should look at OU’s terrible finish, but also must clarify their criteria. If they want to claim all games are equal, then they have to give OU a bid.

                  Whatever happened to the committee looking at how a team did in their last 10 games or however many it was?

              • We now have a good chance to finish the season with 9 Q1 wins. Oklahoma State's Predicted RPI (if they lose to Kansas) is 74, and Marquette's Predicted RPI is 49. All we have to do is beat Temple, Houston and Cincinnati.

                  Keep in mind that these things don't happen in a vacuum. Other teams near those breakpoints are also playing. Also, 'good chance' seems optimistic even just based on WSU needing to win 3 Top 50 games in Florida.

                  I’d give all 5 of those things happening together about 1:10 odds.

                  I'll take 3 of those things happening

              • There is part of me that would love for the little 12 to get 8 teams in and all of them lose in the first round. Or in a few cases the -1st round.

                It would be funny.

                  Actually there is a chance we get to 10 now. UCF currently is 78. A win today should have them finish top 75,

                    If UCF finishes Top 75, that not only adds a Q1 win, it also adds an additional Q2 as the home game moves from Q3 to Q2. So we COULD end up with 10 Q1 wins and 18 Q1/Q2 wins.

                    Yeah but that remains at 9 because that takes away our Q1 opportunity in Houston. The only way our UCF tourney game becomes Q1 if this game counts as a road game.

                    If UCF wins today over ECU and even loses to Houston they'll be borderline top 75.

                • What is going to be wonderful is when we get a 5 seed and get matched up again a #12 seed Notre Dame....

                    There is probably a way around that rule ... If ND goes through Dayton .. then since the committee isn't allowed to project winners ... it's ok.

                    Now you're finding the paths, Stickboy46. They'd probably need to send ND to Detroit in order to keep their travel and turnaround times reasonable, as well. Make sure they got as much rest as possible.

                  Without a doubt. All that matters, or should, is how they're playing right now. It's not even debatable. The sooners haven't won a road game since the month of December. They've given up on the defensive side of the ball (hmm, wonder why?).

                  Does anyone on this board think it's significant in determining how good N. Iowa is right n-o-w by pointing to their November victories over NC State and SMU.

                    It's very debatable.

                    If WSU loses to Temple tomorrow, they will have lost 2 straight games, at home and neutral. Should we not make the tourney? Squeak in with a 10 seed?
