Bracketology 2017

Two Michigan teams leading the get em out vote. Indiana, Tenn and GaTech leading the put em in vote.

Wake way behind.
 
Just because it's interesting to look at things based only on numbers, and since Wake is right on the bubble, I thought it would be fun to put together a few blind resumes to see if people wanted to give input or rank the teams.

This doesn't include KP rating and the exact RPI isn't stated.

It has a team's W/L, SOS, and records versus top 25 of RPI, top 50 of RPI, top 100 RPI (top 50 includes games counted in top 25, top 100 includes games counted in top 50):

Team A:
15-9, SOS = 53rd, 1-5 v top 25, 2-5 v top 50, and 5-8 v top 100.

Team B:
22-4, SOS = 225, 0-1 v top 25, 1-4 v top 50, 1-4 v top 100.

Team C:
15-10, SOS = 18, 2-5 v top 25, 3-5 v top 50, 7-9 v top 100.

Team D:
21-4, SOS = 131, 0-0 v top 25, 1-1 v top 50, 4-1 v top 100.

Team E:
15-11, SOS = 38, 1-6 v top 25, 3-7 v top 50, 7-8 v top 100

C has played the hardest schedule, has the most wins out of the top 25 and has a respectable record against top 100 teams. The only flaw for them is they have at least four losses to teams outside the top 50 and one loss to a team outside the top 100. A and E have relatively similar resumes. E has more wins against top 100 but also more games played, while A has only one loss to teams outside the top 100. Team E has three losses which is a serious knock against E.

B and D both appear to be mid or low major teams. I have a guess who one of the teams is, but won't look and will "unring" that bell for the time being. I'd surmise that Team B is ranked around 50th in KP if I had to and that they're likely objectively around the 40-50 best team in the nation.

I'd bet in current bracketology that team A is safely in the field (8 or 9 seed as of right now?), teams C, B, and D are all hanging around the bubble (C probably on the inside now while B and D are both right on the fringe - last four in or first four out). E probably is also hanging around the bubble but I'd bet anything they're a power conference team with good name recognition and shouldn't be.

Re-ranked mine thinking more about the type of team/conference each resume likely is.

Damn, think I know who the 21-4 team is now but looking at KP instead of RPI could have skewed if teams are top 100 or not in their losses.
 
Palm intimating he put us in since the committee showed their hand that SOS will be particularly important, based off of Gonzaga being the last #1 and some other things that came out on Saturday.

It certainly doesn't hurt our cause that there were 5 ACC teams in the top 4 seeds, and 0 from the Big Ten

Louisville is the must win.....I think that gets us in at 8-10....ideally 1/2 Clemson/Vtech to finish 9-9.
 
Team A:
21-11, RPI: 37, SOS: 33, 0-5 v. Top 25, 0-5 v. Top 50, 9-9 v. Top 100

Team B:
18-14, RPI: 33, SOS: 9 , 0-10 v. Top 25, 3-11 v. Top 50, 10-14 v. Top 100

Team C:
20-11, RPI: 51, SOS: 33, 1-7 v. Top 25, 2-7 v. Top 50, 9-9 v. Top 100
 
Team A is UGA from a a few years ago that was a 10 seed.

Team B is a hypothetical finish to our season where we go 8-10 in the ACC and win an ACC tourney game?

Team C is Wake's last tournament team that was a 9 seed?

Blind resume wise hypothetical 2017 Wake stacks up well against those two.

Team C is Pitt from last year. They also got a 10 seed. Team B assumes wins vs Pitt, @VT and the 8/9 game.
