Agree
Memphis is secure on the 8/9 line.
Utah State likely to pass RU for that last 10

Is there really that much difference between last 10 and first 11? That should still keep us out of Dayton No?
Most here want first 11. Avoid the 2 seeds in 2nd round. 6 seeds don't look that daunting. Likely better geography
@bac2therac Which resume is better?
A: 18-13 7-6 q1 2-4 q2 4-2 q3 5-1 q4 sor 50 sos 37 ncsos 255 8 wins vs field
B: 19-14 5-7 q1 5-3 q2 2-4 q3 7-0 q4 sor 59 sos 39 ncsos 314 7 wins vs field
Edit: A had 4 upper Q1 wins. B1 upper Q1 win.

One difference would be we have a better shot at Albany as an 11 (if UConn ends up a 3).
Otherwise no real difference other than obviously being closer to Dayton. No telling what the committee will do, they could prefer Providence or Mississippi State’s resume to ours and send us to Dayton, and there’s still UAB lurking…
SDSU up 3 with 13 minutes to go, let’s go Aztecs
I can almost guarantee he’ll say he needs more details and he’d be right…B’s resume might be better than it first appears ;)
Not all Quad wins and losses are equal
I really don't think losing to top 100 NET teams should be THAT much of a ding to the resume

Which is fair but needing more info is also a cop out for just a hypothetical. This is what’s on the team sheet. For more info, team a has the more quality Q1 wins. I think it’s a very tough call as is.
A has 4 upper Q1 wins. B 1 upper Q1 win.
@Scangg curious of both your thoughts which is better?
Yeah I know that, kinda explained myself poorly. Was just saying USU jumping us would be no big deal IF it meant the difference between last 10 and first 11, but I thought it was important to note we have no idea if that’s the case or not.
Ah gotcha. Disagree though, think top two 11 seeds are far preferable to a 10 seed. And yes we don't know exactly where they have us right now but wouldn't hurt us for USU to lose. It potentially hurts us if they win.
Lunardi has us in the "played themselves in" category. Last 4 byes...
Men's Bracketology: Gonzaga is a 1-seed again ... as you were
It's been one day of 2024-25 play and we already have a new 1-seed. The Zags aren't new to the top line, though.

Rutgers resumes matched up
A had better stronger wins and yet at least a quarter if not more of bracketologists had them out right.
A had worse losses than B
Need more info! Whenever resumes are close you need to dig into the details. A road win at Purdue is more valuable than beating Utah State at home but both are Q1
…..and bubble have good years and bad years. Good days and bad days.
It would be very interesting once we get enough of a sample size of field of 68s to compare and contrast bubble teams by year and actually see how different the bubble is year by year
last year was stronger plus everyone forgetting that rutgers had a 77 net...thats why we went to dayton...if it was 40 we were 10 or 11
also 2 bid stealers last year Va Tech and Richmond knocked us to Dayton
Win and can’t be in Dayton. Lose and it’s possible. Personally, think their NET keeps them from Dayton.
I think Utah State is a 10 above the 11s...its going to be tough for the committee to argue against metrics and having all those Q2 and 3 wins even though they have just 3 wins vs the fieldL Boise State 2x and Oral Roberts and 2 UGLY Q4 losses that somehow do not show up in the NET nor bracketologists discussions
Rutgers should try to schedule MWC teams if they are going to keep getting respect in the NET
wouldnt be shocked if the committee gave them a 9 based on metrics, its always hard to figure out what they will do. When you think they are going right, they go left
if RU schedules Gonzaga or Houston, they are golden. Key may be deeper in Q3
also RU needs to stop losing those kind of games...3 bad losses last year...4 this year (yes not all truly bad but Minnesota with a 10 point lead in 70 seconds is embarrassing)
cant lose to both shu and nebby at home
