Teams we want to WIN/LOSE to get off the 8/9 seed

[ISUCyclones2015]

Where do these mock brackets have UF?

If they are any more than 1 to 2 spots away they should lose their mock bracket picking privileges.

I really think we are on the 6 line, and can fall to a 7, as low as 8... guess I am optimistic though.

They are a 5 according to most

With the exact same resume... one team is misplaced... not sure which one yet.

you need to put Memphis on here...they are an 8 seed right now and are playing atm.

 

[CyCope]

Cincy is making things interesting with Syracuse right now..

Not super related, but Minnesota is leading Michigan. Iowa fans seem convinced that the NIT will come down to them and Minnesota.

I don't see anyway Indiana is an 8 or 9 seed. They are probably a 5 at worst.

As far as getting out of the dreaded 8/9 seeding I'd say ISU has a better shot of dropping to a 10 seed than rising to a 7 seed. A 7 seed just isn't going to happen so I'd be wishing for a 10 seed if I were you. ISU could do a LOT of damage as a 10 seed.

If you examine resumes closely ISU's resume greatly resembles Florida's and Vanderbilt's - and they're both seeded in the 6-7 range. I'd say odds are greater that we are in the 7 range than in the 10 range (not that there's much of a difference since they play each other).

I think there's a bigger difference than people are saying. I'd much rather be a 7 seed playing a 10 in the first round than a 10 seed playing a 7. I mean, who would you rather play in the first round, Gonzaga or Southern Miss? To me, that's a pretty big difference.

Wow Cincy. This years UCONN?

 

[Cyclonepride]

The more I calm down, the more I think a 7 seed is a distinct possibility. Teams definitely aren't tearing it up right now.

 

[megamanxzero35]

Baylor just beat KU. Surely that must help us.

Baylor just beat KU. Surely that must help us.

Wins over KU and Baylor are two high quality resume wins that even some of the 4 and 5 seeds don't have.

 

[Wesley]

Would it help if Texas beat Mizzou tonight?

 

[megamanxzero35]

Would it help if Texas beat Mizzou tonight?

Not really. Texas beating us gave them a top 50 RPI which gave us another top 50 RPI win. Only way it might help is get us to Omaha.

Now that Kansas lost, could B12 end up with 3 two seeds and drive a 8-9 seed ISU into the 4th region?

I suppose that a Baylor win over Missouri in the championship could make that happen.
