***Official Other Bubble Teams Thread***

[Clone5]

Looking at bracketology on ESPN.com, Minnesota, Seton Hall, Arizona, NC State, Ole Miss, Texas, Wyoming, Colorado State, Colorado, Arkansas, Miami, and Stanford are other teams on the bubble.
We might as well start rooting against these teams. I will post scores and add any new bubble teams in this thread as the rest of the season goes on.

we are a 9 seed in the CBS bracket that came out today, dont get your panties in a wad yet

How UT get's constant consideration drives me nuts. KSU would deserve more attention imo. But I am glad we don't have to play them anymore.

 

[The_Architect]

Minnesota being on that list is an absolute joke.

 

[packthejack23]

Im getting really nervous that we are going to miss the tourney

No waddage yet but I will be following some of those teams the rest of the season and I'm sure others will want to as well.

Minnesota lost to IOWA TWICE! And they're in the conversation? Give me a break...Along with the other poster that said KSU is more deserving, +1.

Minnesota being on that list is an absolute joke.

They were actually listed in the last four in column.

Minnesota has beaten two tournament caliber teams in Illinois and Indiana but has lost to Iowa (2x), Purdue, and Dayton. They play four more ranked teams before the end of the year so they will probably be out unless they win two of those at least.

I'll definitely read your bubble-tracking.

I would love it if, within a couple of weeks, we're all less-concerned about the safety of getting a bid.

I don't think he was picking on your list, rather the last four in column.

Stanford??? RPI 97?
WTF?

 

[CycloneErik]

This is an interesting idea. I'll enjoy watching this thing develop.

I realized that but I was also surprised they are there instead of in the first four out.

Again, not directed at you. Why the hell are they even in any published bubble discussion? Is the rest of their schedule entirely comprised of top 25 teams that will bring up their RPI 60 points?

Minnesota's RPI and SOS is right on par with ISU's...

Here's a link to their schedule. Minnesota Men's College Basketball - Golden Gophers News, Scores, Videos - College Basketball - ESPN
They still play:
Wisconsin
Ohio State
Northwestern
Michigan State
Indiana
Wisconsin
Nebraska
Right now they are 17-7, 5-6 and they will probably end up somewhere around 20-11, 8-10. That would put them squarely on the bubble and probably in the last four out section, depending on how they do in the BIG tournament.

 

[Clone5]

Since we're discussing Minnesota right now we might as well look at resumes.
Minnesota:
17-7, 5-6. Key wins- Illinois, Indiana, Bad losses- Iowa (2x), Purdue, Dayton. RPI- 49, SOS- 58.
Iowa State:
17-7, 7-4. Key wins- Kansas, Kansas State, Bad losses- Drake, UNI. RPI- 35, SOS- 56.
Who would the committee take?

I was referring to Stanford and their 97 RPI.
