Arizona State is out... Move us up one in Lunardi's asinine Bracket

Penn State has no chance to be ahead of us like Lunardi Says... Move us up one more

Two of the 9 Big 12 Teams are not getting in... move us up two more spots.

 

That puts us on the 3rd Team on the "First Four Out" Right now in my opinion

 

We need 3 more losses IMO

 

We are big Depaul, North Carolina and Virginia Tech and fans tonight

that's probably about right. we are 3 bubble upsets away from having a real chance on sunday.

The best part is NC and Vtech are favorites

Kind of like how Utah jumped in over us, because someone had to.  Colorado is probably next

 

Yeah it's whatever. Every team will stay ahead of us or jump us because these bracketologists are all hell-bent on Quad 1 wins. Everyone is going to have more than us, so they'll always just pass us.

Throw ISU in there tonight as well.  A loss by Texas to ISU has them sitting bubblicious as well.

[HuskerFever]

Gotta feel for ASU. They had such a great nonconference. Once they hit the all-powerful Pac-12 they just collapsed.

Tonight's the night...

Just catching up from work. Are you guys saying, of all the tournaments remaining, just need three more bubble teams to lose and you think NU is in?

 

I’m not criticizing but just clarifying. 

[The Polish Rifle]

If Iowa St beats Oklahoma St in the Big 12 title game, would the entire Big 12 get into the big dance?

I am the proud owner of several college pennants, including most all of the power conference teams. And I am thinking about pulling them out of storage for the rest of the week and will pick and choose as needed.

Will that make the beef cheaper for the burgers?

I note Loonari has dropped ASU into his "last four in" group after their beatdown by the Buffs. I suspect he must have been watching a lot of the Bachelor since December. Certainly hasn't been ASU.

Louisville 47/Florida State  45- 11am ESPN  Florida St - 2 1/2  Need Florida St
Boston College 97/NC State 45 - 1pm(pry closer to 1:30)  ESPN  NC St - 3 1/2  Need Boston College for our metrics and outside shot it could bounce NC St
Arizona State 58/Colorado 86 - 2pm Pac 12 network  Az st -7 Need Colorado.  This game could potentially burst Az st bubble
St. John's 91/Georgetown 148 - 6pm FS1  St. Johns - 4 1/2  Need St. Johns
Notre Dame 70/Virginia Tech 51 - 6pm ESPN2  Notre Dame - 2 1/2  Badly need Virginia Tech here.  Bad feeling ND is in with a win here.  
Oklahoma 36/Oklahoma State 89 - 6pm ESPNU  OU - 1 1/2  I am not sure on this.  It all depends on how the selection folks view OU and I can imagine that is a bit of a polarizing topic.  The herd believes they are still in and I am concerned that both would be in with a win by Ok. St here.  The flipside is that they both could be out if Ok. St wins today and loses tomorrow, and we potentially need spots to open up that are not currently ours.  I am barely going with needing Oklahoma here, but will hold on to hope if it goes the other way, especially in blowout fashion.  

UTEP 291/UT San Antonio 189 - 6:30 Facebook live  UTSA - 2 1/2  Need UTSA for our metrics
Oregon State 143/Washington 63 - 8pm Pac12 Network  Oregon St -2  Need Oregon St. to pound nail in Washington coffin once and for all
Iowa State 129/Texas 48 - 8pm(pry closer to 8:30)  ESPNU  Texas - 5 1/2  Need Iowa St. badly.  Huge game here
DePaul 178/Marquette56 - 8:30 FS1  Marquette -6 Need DePaul  Big one here
Louisiana Tech 202/North Texas 189 - 8:30 Facebook live  La Tech - 2 1/2  Need N. Texas for our metrics
Washington State 174/Oregon 68 - 10:30 Pac 12 Network  Oregon - 11 1/2  Need Washington St. 

 

Others

Syracuse 37/North Carolina6- North Carolina -8pm ESPN2  7 1/2  Need North Carolina badly here, preferably by way of blowout

THROW OKLAHOMA OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!

 

Leave the Nebraska in/out conversation out of it. If they put Oklahoma in this tournament, then the whole thing is a dumpster fire. Chasing money and news soundbites over teams that deserve to be there.

6 pm CST Block of Games:

 

St. John's/Georgetown: 42-48 Halftime
Notre Dame/Virginia Tech: 21-34 Halftime
Oklahoma/Oklahoma State: 25-36 Halftime

The more I think about it, the more I don't think the Big 12 will get 90% of their teams in.  So I don't know who the odd man out is going to be, but OU losing might not be that huge.

How much do you trust that the NCAA doesn't chase the money?

I’m in this boat, I almost think OU is in and we don’t want osu to squeak in with a bid.

What a travesty it would be if they let a team in that went 4-11 in their last 15 games.

[FredsSlacks]

i know you have to look at the whole schedule but oklahoma would be 6-12 in their last 18 if they lose this...
