Guyssssssss we all know lunardi is a tool.

Almost 80% of bracket matrix has us as an 8/9.

I’m generally curious why Lunardi has us an 11 and then Palm and Sports Illustrated (using major media outlets) has us a 9. How is there a 2 line difference in their thinking?

Did he throw in a couple more B1G teams in there to meet his quota?

Last I saw he had like 18 B1G teams.

We should probably be a 10 or 11. We haven't played well down the stretch. We only won 6 of the last 15 games. That said, I'm incredibly excited to be in this position after what we've gone through the last two seasons.

Currently the last 9 on bracket matrix which would match us up with Murray State
