[bac2therac]

Duke still needs additional wins

as sceduled a tough final 3

Louisville
at Ga Tech
at UNC

if they get 2 of those they will dance...and remember Louisville might be playing their way out.

It scares me that the NET SOS is so completely broken. It has us at 43 when our actual strength of schedule should be like #3.

The NET formula still needs a lot of work. SOS was already broken the last couple of years, and rankings themselves have been questionable with the bizarre scheduling this year. Big asterisk,imo.

Oregon falls to USC, no shame losing but they remain in the 9/10 seed range

Oklahoma State knocks off Texas Tech in OT. Its safe now to securely put the Cowboys as mortal locks in the field.

Lunardi has us as 8 seed playing the 9 UNC

Palm has RU has us a 7 seed playing the 10 Oregon

Bracketmatrix has RU on average a 8 seed

I have to believe so barring strange outcomes in conf tourneys giving extra bids

Duke like UNC is in.

Duke like UNC is in.

Duke is in today but there is a lot of room for them to fall out. They're basically a coin-flip to make the tournament.

UNC is basically locked in.

UNC is not locked in..they have one quad win which is Duke who isnt projected in the field. The only win vs a projected tourney team is fading Louisville. Cuse and Stanford are nice wins but nothing special

They will need 2 of 3 down the stretch...FSU at Cuse and Duke, if they are just beating Cuse, its a flimsy resume.
