We were 6-5 in column 1 and 2. Hard to justify getting a protected seed when you play about half the number of quality RPI games as others and you roughly split them.
We had 11 column 1 and 2 games last year, and we've already played 9 this year. Of our 11 remaining games, 9 are currently in Groups 1 and 2. Add in the conference tourney and we can almost double the number of quality games compared to last year. We already have more quality wins this year than we did last year, if you assume the groups to be equivalent. Last edited by sedziobs; 01-25-2018 at 12:32 PM. |

As of now it all looks pretty good but certain teams could fall out and we still have to play the tough part of our schedule. Other conferences will get tougher too...but we need to perform significantly better (as a %) given the general strength of ours. |

Agreed. We want to win as many games as possible regardless. The only point of controversy seems to be what group we would like games that we have already lost to be in. I would still prefer as many games as possible in Group 1, no matter the result. The Louisville example from last year shows that you can get a 2 seed even with a losing record against the top tier, as long it has a lot of games in there.

This is why I don't buy that the committee has no "respect" for the AAC. RPI is flawed for sure, but it is known in advance that the committee uses it as their primary tool. The AAC didn't measure up with other conferences using their criteria. It's not due to preconceived bias that our conference was poorly seeded, it's because we fell short according to the numbers. This year is shaping up to be much better.

Nearly every credible Bracketologist has moved UC to the 3 seed line.
4 more games until we get the low down from the committee itself. |

How did you play away from home? Any signature wins? What did your SOS look like overall and OOC? Did you win your tourney? Any bad losses? What is your RPI? etc etc etc. We won't have the top end wins and our SOS is not great...but I think we can look good on the rest. I would guess column 1 and 2 results will put you in a seed. The rest can be adjusted from there. Do we need to drop them 1 or move them up 1 with the other factors. I think we got dropped 2 seeds last year (from our RPI) because we really didn't look very good in column 1. |

If we take care of business we should be in the top 16 this year. Interesting that 4 more games is right before that away game at SMU.

So far this year, we are 3-2 vs. the top 50 and 5-0 vs. 51-100. We have 4 more opportunities vs. the top 50 and 4 more opportunities vs. 51-100. Let's say we lose at Wichita State and Houston but win the rest of our games... that would put us at 5-4 vs. the top 50 and 9-0 vs. 51-100. Looking at last year's numbers, that should easily put us in the protected seed range.
