Explain?

This is my personal s curve. Not necessarily what I think the committee will do.

We’re playing better basketball than Purdue. We made it to our conference final, and more importantly, we beat Purdue straight up.

I still have Tennessee as a 2 seed despite the loss

Agree

 

[Dougie_D]

So you have UNC better than Xavier and Cincy?

14-8 against Q1. Best record against quality teams than anyone else in the country.

 

[Dtj64]

Houston by 2 with 12 minuites left.

 

[golfballs]

Houston can't buy a shot...

 

[Lankykong]

Neither can Cincy. This is such a weird game

 

[Lankykong]

These refs are weird too

But that's the thing.. how do you consider Quality Teams?

Cincy has an RPI of 7

Xavior has an RPI of 3

NC has an RPI of 4

So wouldn't Xavior be ahead?

 

[BruinVol]

I never said at the end of the season if we had a better record that we were more deserving. And I distinctly remember saying that if UNC made it through the final 6 or 8 game gauntlet of their season, that they were more deserving.

So stop passive-aggressively misrepresenting the truth. Your thinly-veiled comments aren't lost on me. I know exactly who/what you've been referencing. I just chose to ignore it to this point because of how grossly misconstrued it is.

Your post regarding their SOS and being a blue blood were exactly the reasons I gave that you argued against. It's hilarious you are going to have this take now.
Hilarious flip flop

If all that mattered was RPI Loyola Chicago would be a 6 seed

Cincy holds on will be a 2 probably

:/

I think our best chance is somehow for the committeee to put us over Purdue just because of our head to head win

 

[Lankykong]

Cincy looked pretty bad that game IMO. I hope we're somehow in the same bracket

The American conference is weak as ****. They played horrible and still won. All they had to do was win 1 game against Houston. Their previous two games were like us playing ole miss or Mercer..

Golf, the sec is a much better conference than the American ofcource .will the committee take that in consideration?.. They ought too, good grief what a terribly played championship game.

They still played really well this year. I definitely expect they’ll get a 2 seed. Like I said I think our best chance is for the committee to somehow justify us over Purdue

This guy has been one of the most accurate brackets the last few years. He has us a 2 seed in th west region

Damn, I love his bracket.

 

[VolRoger]

Lunardi has us as a 3 seed in Nashville as part of Virginia's South region. Palm has us as a 3 seed in Nashville but as part of Kansas Midwest region. Very different brackets. I've print screen copied both the bracketology brackets to see who comes closer. Isn't Lunardi a little better than Palm? I have no idea personally. It's been so long since selection Sunday was a fun thing for Vol fans.

 

[golfballs]

Damn, I love his bracket.

Me too. I would be thrilled. Please happen 😬

 

[golfballs]

Even though Michigan is tough. But I’ll take it considering they’ve been off for 2 weeks..

 

[Dougie_D]

Yeah, I don't think this committee will look into RPI's that much this year. That would also mean they would put Rhode Island as a 3 seed if that's the case.

They usually will emphasize on 1 thing...but the question is what that 1 thing will be?

Remember when TN was a 2 seed?

We were regular season champs but lost in SemiFinals.

31-5 and 14-2 ... can't remember the RPI/SOS stuff but I believe that's what they based our numbers.

Also we were ranked 1 that year.

He has us as 3 seed now unless I'm looking at something different?
