Bracketology 2017

Matrix is updating all day long & appears now Wake is missing from 4 brackets.

So we're trending down?

VCU fighting back. Down 5 with 10 minutes to go.

Thinking more and more this game could be a major determination of whether or not we end up in Dayton.

That may be an extreme interpretation, but 3 people woke up today & said Wake is out.

 

[RJKarl]

who are they? It kinda matters.

 

[PhDeac]

Earned their way in by playing in a crappy conference? Meh. Finishing 10th in the ACC is more impressive than winning the SWAC.

And at-large teams didn't? Silly argument.

Auto-bids are an eccentricity of the system.

Stupid poors need to buy a better conference.

This is why Trump won.

Let's assume URI is out with a loss - what do you think the back up plan is at this moment? You know there is a plan - who do they knock out?

USC or Kansas State.

 

[Complacent Deac]

Both USC's blow.

I'd also love a shot at VCU, watching them now, not real impressed. Just running around wreaking havoc and no shooting.

 

[TUA01576]

You really want Collins to have to work that hard on defense against Alie-Cox ?

Allie cox is trash offensively. Strictly a put back guy.

 

[WakeForest Fan]

I believe URI was in regardless

Probably people putting URI in and had Wake as their last team in with the bubble shrinking by 1.

VCU is trash offensively. Can't shoot, but they do spend a lot of time on their (stupid looking) hair.

I'm going to tell myself this up to the announcement. Nothing that happened today changes the field. It was set. Only a few seeding alterations like smu-cincy

 

[forensicdeac]

What does VCU's resume look like? Metrics are probably good but they look like hot garbage and didn't the benefit from some improbable wins this year? Like the technical from the students storming the court? Maybe the basketball gods keep them out with RI in.

Eh, not likely.

 

[wsc8521s]

USC or Kansas State.

No Syracuse? Interesting.

I'd say USC, Syracuse or Providence myself.

I am kinda wondering if 'cuse beating a healthy Duke team with K might get them in, though

I mean, if URI was in, they were probably in Dayton so that certainly changed.

I would imagine the committee has scenarios for every possible outcome on Selection Sunday.

Yep, last night's result was big for Syracuse.

Well that is not true as anyone who had Rhode Island already in the field certainly would have had them in Dayton. Now a team that was free of Dayton is getting sent back to the play in game.

Right. I said seeding.

The play-in game is part of the field.....
