I kind of think it’s weird that people keep projecting A&M into the tourney. It’s like everyone just assumes they’re flip the switch again but they’ll be lucky to win half their remaining conference games
Jeff Sagarin is trash:

I'm not sure how much they weigh the predictive metrics vs the results based. Results based ones we're in the top 6 in all of them. Sag, Kenpom, BPI we're 20s and 30s. Oh well keep stacking those dubs.

You have to remember how good they were early one. But I agree with you, Im not sure they can get back there.
But they have some really nice OOC wins, most on a neutral site, including a 23 point win over WVU (in Germany).
But they have the talent to turn it around (when fully healthy).
Their resume is still tourney/ bubble range right now. They go on the road and beat Kansas in a couple weeks they could probably go 7-11 in conference and still get in.
Starting to think my HS teammate is gonna win a ‘ship at Purdue this year.
He better hope he avoids a tourney matchup with Bruce and Company
I don’t know that I’d pick them over Nova on a neutral court, but when I’ve watched them play, their defense was suffocating. They absolutely have a chance.

2 seed in the South w UVA. That’s a dream scenario and it might be happening.

Not crazy about that draw. MidWest would be tough too.
For Duke, as an apology for sending you out West, we put nobody in your bracket capable of winning it all.
6 SEC teams in, with 3 more as the last 4 out. 9 teams with a legit chance to get in. That Big12 challenge is going to pay off big time.
Boogs now at #8 in Kenpom.

If boogs can go 7-3 or better down the stretch, they are in an excellent position to end up as a 3 seed or higher. Challenging schedule ahead, but I believe our handsome studs can do it.

if you had told me a year ago we'd be a 3 seed in the big dance with no Wiley I'd have punched you and your mother in the face and pooped my pants.
UNC matchup projected. In the 2nd round. Cause they are trash compared to our boogs.

Here are the updated team sheets through the weekend's games. MASH HERE
Auburn still 4-2 in Q1 games. Virginia is 7-1, Villanova 9-1, Xavier 5-3 and Clemson 5-4 in Q1 games. I didn't look past Auburn, which is #5 in RPI, so I have no idea what mid-tier programs like Duke, Kansas, Arizona, Michigan State or Kentucky are doing. Boogs need Ole Miss to play well down the stretch, and really needs to win 6 or more of the last 8 if it wants to dramatically improve its Q1 resume and have a chance for a #1 seed. Sagarin still has AU #20, which is quite the indictment of its garbage rankings.

New AP poll is out. We're # 8...

#9 in Coaches poll. Duke @ #8. Just another chip on the shoulder of our underappreciated Boogs.

We had one poll list us as a #1 seed (Real time RPI) last week. Now, it is 17 (if my math is correct)

The seclection committee will release their top 16, seeded 1-4 in each region, on Saturday.
Even though they release that, it’s still subject to change depending on how the rest of the season plays out, correct? And then doesn’t change regardless of conference tournaments? Correct?
Yeah, it’s kinda like the first CFP rankings. If the tournament started Saturday, that would be the way teams would be seeded.
After we beat aTm, I expect us no worse than a 2 seed in the initial rankings.
As long as we don't sht the bed @SCar on Saturday, we should. But I'm not so sure that's in our best interest though, the 1 seed I mean. Although it'll do my little boogin heart good to see that amount of respect.
I wonder if there's a scenario where they put UVA in the East and then we can be a 1 seed in the South. UVA is kind of in the middle there not much diff for them.
I’d take that today and skip the rest of the season.
I think if we're the second 1 seed and UVA is the top 1 seed, we could get ATL and them get the East. Logistically, it would make sense.

looks like we need to rock those orange uni's vs any blue teams
