A breakdown of 15 teams to root for. I am listing current RPI, followed by projected RPI, followed by current Kenpom. I am only listing potential column 1 and column 2 chances.
Teams we have lost to... Eggs away...5...6...16 (no danger in moving out of column 1) FLA neutral...36...27...25 (no danger in moving out of column 1) OOC teams we beat... Buffalo...29...25...76 (big disparity here between RPI and Kenpom)...but root root root. They need to finish top 50 rpi for a neutral column 1 win. UCLA...49...59...51 (We just need them to stay top 75 for column 1) Miss St...75...77...71 (They are on the bubble of top 75 column 2 home win...we need to root for this team) Wyoming...88...122...124 (we need them to be top 100 for neutral column 2 win) Rest of conference play... WSU...28...18...15 (We need them to stay top 30 RPI for 2 column 1 games) SMU...59...35...32 (without Foster I don't think they can reach column 1 home win but no danger of dropping from column 1 away and column 2 home games) Houston...56...45...44 (they aren't getting in column 1 home and in no danger of moving from column 1 away or column 2 home game) Temple...50...93...94 (we need them top 75 to get a column 1 away win and column 2 home win) UCF...60...108...83 (ditto to Temple...with Taylor back they might have a chance) Tulane...105...137...128 ( we need them top 135 for a column 2 away game) Uconn...93...106...157 (ditto to Tulane but we play Uconn twice) Memphis...83...129...142 (ditto to above and we play them twice) No other team on our schedule has a real opportunity right now to move into column 1 or 2. |

Just a suggestion, but I think it's easier to read threads if when quoting a long post, you cut out everything but one or two relevant sentences. Anyone who wishes to read the entire quoted post can simply click the little arrow next to the name at the top. |

I think you are right...but trying to figure out how this all ties in. Obviously our ranking is going to influence our seed and who we root for etc.
We have a thread for Bracketology, games of importance, stats/rankings, around the country, around the AAC etc. Some of these seem to mix together and some seem to be superfluous. I was trying to figure out where to put it but didn't want to double post. Can we consolidate threads? IDK. |

Around the AAC - American carch-all. Can be scores, stories, coaching stuff, standings, anything Around the Country - same as above but on the National scene Games of Importance - This may overlap but is also just specific to our schedule. 2017-18 Stats/Rankings - Maybe we can remove the "Rankings" part and add it to Bracketology? Bracketology - obvious |

I view the bracketology thread as a place to make and analyze seeding predictions. Rankings are their own animal, and more of a prestige and "what have you done for me lately?" analysis. But as long as we have good discussions going on, I'm not too concerned about where they happen.

TeamRankings simulates all remaining games and uses an algorithm to generate an S-curve. Currently they have us finishing at 26-5, good for #6 on the S-curve and a 2 seed. They also have Wichita as a 3, and SMU and Houston both as 9 seeds. They give UC an 86% chance to get a 4 seed or better.
