    25-26 way too early rankings

    Looking at how Big 12 teams are ranked in some of the way too early top 25s, it's clear Houston is not just the clear favorite in the league, but the entire country. And maybe it's a recency bias thing, because after the elite 8 collapse, a lot of people are sleeping on Tech. ESPN: 1-Houston...

    Wow, I hadn't heard they were using Torvick, but I'm glad they are. I think it's surpassed KenPom at this point. I'm really thinking Wisconsin will jump to the final 3, and Texas A&M will fall to the first 4 seed.

    Last daily NET update: ISU finally had the perfect storm with teams on the edge. 10-7 in Q1, 6-2 in Q2 8-0 in Q3/Q4 -Baylor stayed at 30 despite VCU winning at 31. -Kstate jumped from 76 to 75, giving a quad 1 win and taking away a quad 3 loss. St Joe’s fell from 74 to 76 after losing to...

    NET update: ISU picked up a Q1 win, and lost a Q1 win overnight. The good: -without playing, Baylor moved from 31 to 30. Thanks to UConn’s loss to Creighton dropping them from 29 to 32. VCU is right behind them at 31 and they play today, so it will be one to watch. The bad: -Kstate is back...

    I think we would have alot more to worry about if it wasn't for that Texas A&M loss yesterday to bubble team that is 6-12 in conference. I'm not convinced the committee will change seeding much based on conference tournaments, but if they do, it will be Texas A&M getting punished, not Iowa State.

    This would definitely be helpful in locking down Milwaukee, and not being shipped out to Denver as the 3 seed.

    I think prior to A&M losing yesterday, we had a little bit to be worried about. But now I think the only way a Big 10 team is jumping to a 3 seed is passing A&M.

    Also, turns out we don't even need Atlantic 10 teams to lose to drop. That conference's NET is so bad that St Joe's won and still dropped 2 spots putting K-state back to 75. Considering at least one of St Joes/George Washington has to lose, I'd be shocked if K-state isn't still in the top 75 by...

    Agreed, them losing to Texas (on the bubble) is the equivalent of ISU losing to Cincy (Also on the bubble). In fact they were both 5 vs 13 games. Looking at Bracket Matrix, I think most of the seeding is pretty cemented by now, but I think if Purdue/Maryland/Wisconsin wins the Big 10...

    Them dropping from 73 to 76 is a killer. The good news is whenever George Mason and/or St Joes loses, it will probably be to a team with a pretty low NET, so that should be a chance for Kstate to jump back to 75. The good news: ISU quad 1 wins jumped from 7-6 in quad 1 to 9-6 overnight: -Cincy...

    Another positive NET note. UCF jumped from 77 to 72 last night, giving us another quad 1 win. ISU now 8-6 in quad 1 games. Cincy is now at 48, so win today you should be at 9-6. Baylor at 33 in NET. If they beat KSU tonight, could be at 10-6 by this time tomorrow morning.
