Lunardi has as higher than almost all other brackets at this time.

Katz, most brackets have us currently as a 5. I would be pissed if we had to play ISU in the S16.

Katz is a B1G hack.

Last time I saw, he had us ranked in the 30’s

He is awful, he does have UH at 13 now. His brackets are generally terrible as well, I just threw that one up because it had us as a 5, which is the most common seed I see for UH currently.

We’re #3 in the NET. How do we get from there to a 5 seed? :face_with_spiral_eyes:

We were top 5 in NET in 2022 and were a 5 seed with our best team so far in Sampson era

Seeding has never been based off of NET ranking. We have good metrics but the lack of Q1 wins hurts our resume. Plenty of opportunities to improve in that area down the stretch though. One reason why the B12 move was awesome for us.

Lunardi with the Coogs as a 4 seed. I hope they use this as motivation!

Apparently its all about quad 1 wins and we have only 1. would be 2 WVU became quad 2 minutes aftter the game.
we just need to keep winning
need to knock off Iowa state and Kansas

Need to beat them at Fertitta. We don’t play Iowa State in Ames. We do have home and home games with Kansas and Baylor. We get Arizona and Tech on the road only. Let’s say we win all our other conference games. I would think 4-3 would probably be about the best we could hope for in those games, 3-4 might be more realistic, and 2-5 very possible. But 3-4 would mean a 16-4 league record. That’s very likely good enough for first place.

Maybe we intentionally sand bagged in the first half so that we’d only be UCF by a small margin, that way they wouldn’t drop out of the top 75 (Q1 cutoff). Lol

That Iowa st vs Houston game will probably be for the league title, winner of that one will have the tie breaker over the other, it’s a must win as of right now

Does tie breaker matter for the regular season title? Or do they automatically go to co champs if two teams finish with the same record?

The most important 3 games will come after Utah
Be
_@ Kansas
@ wv
Home vs a fiesty tech team

Kansas has their back against the wall after the loss the wv
They will be a tuff out at home
Wvu will play with the crowd behind them in Morgantown
They were a tuff out here
And tech is playing well and getting better
This is gonna be some cardiac coogs stuff going down for sure
