Loyola is 91st in NET. The lowest of those 12 Big Ten teams is Indiana at 44th.

And a loss to Coppin State which is in FAMU territory. They don't deserve a bid, not close.

They got a bump in NET from playing UNI on Sunday and are going to be underdogs in their next two.

Not saying the Big 10 deserves 12 by any means but Loyola is not a good replacement.

Anybody who takes ESPN Bracketology as gospel needs to do some soul searching in life.
You do realize he is right on just about every team each year? It’s a good gage on who will get in. Plus it gives you something weekly to look forward to. I myself use every resource I can get to better my knowledge in order to win the bracket contest I enter. I win about every year in that and the bowl challenges. All because I follow things

I like my Bracketology right around mid-April fresh off the previous season's results.

Same with CF rankings in January.

Do you have facts to back up when you say "he is right"? Winning bowl challenges isn't basketball either, so *shrugs*?

I'd love to see how close Lunardi is every year compared to what actually happens. I'm sure he does some "true up" right before the tourney starts. I can assure you, 12 B10 teams will not make the tournament.

This exactly. Maybe many of these guys hit on 66-68 of the teams that actually make it when they post their last predictions the week of Selection Sunday. I doubt they are nearly that accurate when you look at their predictions a month and a half out.
