A 5 or 6 loss UC team in 17-18 will have a MUCH better resume than a 3 loss team in 2016-2017 did. I can guarantee you that if we have another 3 loss season this year we're a 1 or a 2 seed. |

Last years combined KP opponent Average : 139 This years Combined KP Opponent Average: 179 We played Zero 300+ teams last year, this year we play 4. Sure we did better at the top of the non conference but we did so bad at the bottom that its overall worse. IMO, the only way to get a 2 seed (IMO 1 seed is completely not possible) would be to lose just 2 games or fewer, 1 in conference and 1 in non conference. History is on my side of the argument. In general non power leagues are always under seeded. The AAC is much improved but its still not the league the big 12, ACC or even big 10 is |

If you can't recognize that playing a schedule that includes X, UCLA, Miss State, Florida, Iowa (probably), and Wichita State 2 or possibly 3 times is light years above last year's schedule then I'm not sure we can continue to have this conversation. If UC goes through that gauntlet and walks away with 2 losses they're a 1 seed. |

If we are a top 10 team and beat most of the good teams we play and don’t have any bad loses we will get a high seed. The situation is similar to the 90s teams. If you are good and prove it, they will give you a high seed. No one is out to get us. We are a big basketball program. They would prefer us than a mid major team

Sure a 1 seed is possible. but I think you'd have to be a 1 loss team or better. And Guys I completely understand the top end of our schedule is amazing and I personally wouldn't trade it away. but I am saying that those 4 300+ teams will hurt us.. Hopefully the committee understands it was out of our control. also our SOS will hurt our RPI. All I'm saying is; we didn't game the RPI very well at all and it may come back to haunt us. Xavier is going to on paper look like they have a better SOS than us even though they dont play as many great games, but they gamed it. It could hold us back.... Im not saying this to be negative, just saying after what happened last year, Im not counting on anything from a seeding perspective |

You put too much stock in the 300+ teams thing. We have seen teams be top 2 seeds with way worst schedules than ours this year.

Ok. I went back and looked at the top 16 teams (seeds 1-4)
Only 1 team of the 16 played 4 300+ teams 5 of them didn't play any 300+ 3 Played 1 6 played 2 1 played 3 So the only team that did play 4 300+ teams was FSU. Do you know why they were given the benefit of the doubt? Because they had 13 top 50 wins which was one of the best in the country. So yes, you can overcome those 4 300+ teams but you need to rack up a crap ton of top 50 wins to off set it. Guess who doesn't have 13 top 50 wins on our schedule? we have a Max of 7 top 50 wins on our schedule right now. So if we want to even have a chance at 10 top 50 wins, then the AAC better pick up some huge non conference wins PS Im not being negative and this has nothing to do with how good UC is. I think we can beat anyone in the country, but im not going to be a homer when it comes to seeding. I have historical evidence that proves other wise and until the committee starts respecting the American, then I'm going to assume we are under seeded. Doesn't mean anything though, we need to just beat the team in front of us Last edited by justinhub2003; 11-08-2017 at 06:02 PM. |
