The main reason is that they have to put somebody on the bubble. The conferences just below the 6 majors that usually are multi-bid leagues have few teams with much of a resume. The American, Atlantic 10, Mountain West could be 2,2, and 1 bid leagues, respectively, if there aren't many upsets in...

Clemson is ahead of GT in the USA Today's projection: LINK I thought the 12th conference loss did them in for most of these. Funny.

http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology GT is in the first four out in the latest from Lunardi.

The Pitt game is probably a must win for the NIT right now. You can't expect a deep run in the ACCT, although it is possible. GT is 15-13 now (Tusculum doesn't count for the tournament). We need more wins.

Your formula is correct but the formula's winning percentage is calculated as follows: For Division 1 NCAA Men's basketball, home win now counts as 0.6 win, while a road win counts as 1.4 wins. Inversely, a home loss equals 1.4 losses, while a road loss counts as 0.6 loss. A neutral game...

NW is very happy that the last 10 game factor is no longer in use.

If the season ended today, GT would be 10th and play 15 BC on Tuesday at 2pm.

That is kind of the description of a bubble team from a power conference. The difference is that the leagues just below the 6 majors that usually have 4 or 5 reasonable candidates (American, Mountain West, A-10) do not have any depth this year. The Mountain West in particular is like a low major...

This borders on cruelty.

I am enjoying my crow dinners so far this year and look forward to more.

QFT The over/under on ACC wins should be set at 1.5

Ahh. Dot your I, not cross your T. ;)

The only part I can easily look up is Nike's CTO. He graduated from Stanford.

He has a shot to make the 53 man roster but he is not competing for a starting spot ahead of Thomas Davis. Cash got some cash, a $20k bonus, which was one of the highest for an undrafted free agent this year.

Same here. There simply is no ACC level talent on this team. Spin isn't going to change it. Recruiting is the only thing that can change it.

Including beating Oklahoma 40-6 in a game in which Watson didn't play at all.

Even given the extremely low bar of "some" being surprised, I think it would take a true disaster, less than 5 overall wins for even some to truly be surprised.

One thing is for sure. It won't take much to surprise me and I would really enjoy the surprise.

Tech didn't win a national championship but the final four (championship game) team in '03-'04 played in probably the best ACC I've ever seen. 7 of the 9 ACC teams finished in the top 25 of Ken Pomeroy's statistical rankings. For perspective, 5 of 15 ACC teams finished in that top 25 this past...

I've looked at the roster with gold colored glasses fully in place and can't see this team winning more than 2 ACC games. It is hard to even discuss this roster without it turning into an unwanted player bashing session. The best one or two players are 5th starter level in the ACC with the gold...
