Title: Why will 9-9 do it
Post by: Marquette4life on February 07, 2018, 09:31:01 PM
Previous years it has taken 20 plus wins to get in the dance. Why will 18 do it this year. Don't u think 19 is what we need at least

How many times has this been answered? I get people don't read every post ever but you'd be hard pressed to find a thread where this hasn't been explained recently...

We have the 11th ranked SOS.  We play in the #1 conference according to the RPI.  9-9 gets you in.

Mainly SOS. Go 9-9 and we're looking roughly at RPI 55 and SOS 28. Hard to leave that team out. Especially with zero Q3/4 losses. It also helps that the bubble sucks. Maryland is all but done after losing tonight. Teams like Virginia Tech & NC State just don't have the resume. Boise State doesn't have the quality wins. It's a good year to be decent.

5-1: Lock
4-2: Should be in
3-3: Should be out, theoretically possible with a run in the BET
2-4: Need to win the BET

Last year we were in comfortably with 19 wins. 20 wins no matta

Congrats on the nice night, TAMU!

MU and TAMU both win; Duane Wilson hits the winning FT for TAMU.

Lunardi had us 1 spot out before beating Hall and at 4-7.

Finish 9-9 even if 4 of the wins are to the bottom 3. Yeah we good
