The answer is we have no idea. Add in that the new Tier System is flawed. Team A is 9-2 vs Tier 1&2 teams Team B is 8-3 vs Tier 1&2 teams Team A looks like the clear better team right? But then you examine the quality of those wins even further and you see that Team B might only have 8 Tier 1&2 wins but they came against Texas, Florida, Michigan st, Miami Fl, Florida St, Etc And Team A wins came against: Buffalo, Wyoming, UCLA, Temple, UCF, memphis, This is why they will have to dig deeper because ranking just on the tier System is not a true reflection of reality. |

The RPI group system is a starting point, an initial sorting method. Therefore, it is extremely important, but it doesn't in itself determine the final outcome. Nothing is a "true reflection of reality". There's 351 teams playing a 35 or so game schedule. There's no way to definitively rank teams.
The committee has laid out its tools for us, so we might as well consider those first. Kenpom is on the team sheet, and the committee can use it. We should be relieved by that because we are #6 in Kenpom. However, the vast majority of the team sheet is RPI-based. The four groups really stand out: https://i.turner.ncaa.com/sites/defa...eet_guide1.pdf |

and even though we hate rpi, it probably favors us this year. makes the buffalo win much much better, wyoming win is better, temple wins are better. our kenpom resume, outside of being ranked 6th, is pretty shabby. |

We don't have high quality wins yet. We have a chance...but we need Houston and WSU to keep winning to be honest. I am not sure we should be rooting for SMU at this point (at least in games against those other two teams). We can root for them but they have been inconsistent and lost a significant player. Houston has a better chance IMO to be a tourney team right now. If SMU goes on a run that could change...they still have some talent left on the team. Same goes for column 2...we need the highest ranked and highest probable teams to go on a run. WE need some quality to go with our quantity. |

yes the 6 ranking should speak for itself based on what his rankings are supposed to stand for. but we all know it doesn't unfortunately (at least to casual fans and im not going to give the committee members much more credit than that). i almost put in an edit in that post after reading what i wrote cause i knew a response like this was coming. |

I say lets win them all and hope they each win the max amount they can outside of that. If we are wondering who to root for (outside of our games) it should be the higher ranked team. |

We are 10 games out. When we need to fine tune this...we can start factoring that in to who we root for. Way too many variables right now...I agree. We want as many tourney teams as we can get and as high ranked as we can get. We need to maximize the shit out of our schedule. We need other teams to maximize the shit out of theirs. There will be some winners and losers but I want quality right now since it seems we might have the quantity. |
