I know a lot of things can happen down the stretch but my hopes are to get in the dance at a 7 seed or less. This will probably mean we need a record of 24-7 or better as the seed will come very close to matching our loss total. With that being said...
Must wins SMU, WSU, Memphis, UCF at home Probable loss Houston away That would put us at 22-4 which would mean we have to take at least 2 games from the following 5... SMU away without Foster Houston at home on Sr day UCF away on their Sr day Uconn away is never easy and they took us to overtime already Memphis away where they haven't lost yet and beat UCF by 20 I don't care how you slice this up I will be happy with 24-7 and anything better is awesome. I don't want to think about anything worse right now. Houston and UC will have the target on their back to add to the difficulty. |

I think I rank the games from easiest to hardest as:
SMU WSU @SMU @UCONN UCF @MEMPHIS @UCF HOUSTON @HOUSTON In all reality, your must wins are SMU/WSU/@SMU. In the remaining 7, just gotta go 4-3, and sit at 25-6. Which I think is a 6 seed. |

Torvik ranks our remaining games from easiest to hardest as:
Wichita St SMU Memphis UCF @SMU Houston @Memphis @UConn @UCF @Houston That matches Waterhead's tiers, which also correspond to actual NET quadrants. SMU/WSU are Q3. Memphis/UCF/@SMU are Q2. The rest are Q1. |

We're currently a 7 seed on bracketmatrix. Here's a comparison of our resume to teams in the 6-8 seed range. Records are (Q1,Q2,bad losses).
6 Kansas St (5-2,4-3,0) 6 Maryland (4-4,6-2,0) 6 Iowa (5-5,5-0,0) 6 Florida St (4-3,4-1,1) 7 Miss St (6-4,3-3,0) 7 Cincinnati (3-2,3-1,1) 7 Auburn (0-6,6-1,0) 7 Buffalo (1-1,3-1,1) 8 Washington (1-4,5-1,0) 8 Baylor (3-5,6-1,2) 8 Ohio St (4-5,3-2,0) 8 TCU (1-6,5-0,0) We seem to be comfortably ahead of the 8 seeds, with the possible exception of Ohio St. It will be an uphill battle to catch the 6 seed teams, who all have at least eight quality wins. We certainly have lots of opportunities coming up. |
