2015 Bracketology

Beating X-men at home could nail down 5th place and knock them out all together. That game should be a monster.
 
I appreciate you listing the bubble teams Jack and it's fun rooting against them but while fun at this point I feel it's useless since there's so much season left. Hard to get excited when there's hundreds of bubble games left. However, rooting for Minnesota is big. They've improved their RPI to mid 70's and have a chance to become a quality win. I hope St. Mary's, Syracuse, or Minnesota really step up the next few weeks. We could use a big OOC win.

Minnesota only 3 point underdogs today. They are better than their record. Check out how many close loses they have.

I disagree I don't think it's useless at all.
 
Northwestern beats Iowa !!

Welcome to the bubble, hawkeyes

Lunardi's bracket tomorrow morning should be interesting. I wonder if we snag one of the last byes instead of being in the first four in his projection

That's fair and I'm glad you put the list together because I like following it. No harm in rooting against teams but in my opinion the bubble in two weeks will look a lot different than today. Hopefully some teams bubble watchers aren't following today like Minnesota and St. Mary's make it onto the bubble.
 
Some results we could use today


Wisconsin over Illinois
Colorado over Stanford
Northwestern over Iowa
Minnesota over Indiana
Utah over California
Nebraska over Purdue
Boston College over Miami (FL)

Yes. He's got Illinios, UCLA, Tulsa, and NC State as his last four in now.

There's not much st Mary's can do to get on the bubble except beat Gonzaga. Minnesota can I agree which is why I listed them in my list
 
Minnesota up 17-10 at Indiana early.

This team is rallying, a win here and their RPI will continue to creep towards 50, which is the magic number to move us to 4-5 in top 50 instead of 3-5

RPIForecast gives them a 40% chance at finishing top 50. They're at 57 now they don't need to beat Gonzaga.

They were in first place in the AAC until this past week. That made them the automatic bid from that league in Lunardi's bracketology.
 
Amazing how big of a win we had on Saturday....CBSSports.com had us listed as "on the fence" before the Xavier game.....this morning we are now a 7 seed playing LSU in the round of 64!....bad news is he has us in the Midwest region with Kentucky as the 1 seed and Wisconsin as the 2 seed!
