We jumped to #2 in the NET. The weak ACC hurts Duke. A ten point vomit win wasn’t enough to keep them at 2.
As of right now, the Big 12 and SEC have 5 teams each in NET top 15.

Lunardi is lazy. Even on his bracket, if we continue to win, I think we’ll end up a #1 seed. You have to lose about three games once he has you on a 1 line before he’ll drop you. Without digging too deep, this bracket is not what the NCAA would put out. You wouldn’t have a second round ISU- Arizona matchup. Plus, he has Purdue a 2 and Michigan State a 3?

The Cougars were so traumatized by the move to the Big 12 last season that they won the league by only two games.

they’ll stay there for maybe another week but that AZ loss will probably haunt them come the end of the year since they’ll need to win both UH and KU away to stay comfortable there
Duke will lose 1 conference game at most, Auburn and Alabama built up too much goodwill in noncon to drop barring a massive collapse
I wouldnt mind if we were 2/3 and the 3/2 seeds in our region were in order…Purdue, Michigan St, Marquette, Kentucky, Kansas, Tennessee and Florida. For some reason I want to stay away from Florida, they have a really good team.
I look at the polls for fans entertainment anyway. What I’m waiting for is the NCAA to release their rankings Then, we’ll see how we stand. There’s not a lot of movement from those rankings

If UH wins the Big12 regular season, I feel pretty confident we will be a 1 seed (75%+). To win the Big12 UH would need to go 8-4 at worse, which likely gives us 6/7 more Q1 wins. Plus a chance to add a couple in KC. The lack of Q1 wins is the only thing holding us back at this point.

somewhat related to bracketology… was on Bart Torvik messing around with their analytics and was able to create this graph showing our program year by year AdjOFF/AdjDEF compared to the NCAA D1 average and I was very surprised by where 2025 is currently.

Nice!
Seems to show an impressive trend of separating from the average more and more over time.
I hope that movement to the upper right corner results in the trophy soon!

At worst we’d be a two. The one seed could be a bit tough depending on how the other leagues shake out but it’s definitely in play. Especially if we could find a way to go like 18-2 in conference.

And we’re coming on strong right now with the emergence of Uzan and Roberts back to himself. We’re gonna be a force come tournament time

UCF seems pretty low considering their schedule eases up going forward

Why is Utah, TCU, and Cincy on that list with any kind of chance?! They are terrible!

I suppose it’s possible any of them win the conference tournament.
That’s the only chance they have.
