Title: Only 7 BE teams in the tourney?

Today Lunardi says only 7 BE teams are in his model of the brackets.  Curious.

Sounds about right.  Syracuse is a bubble team right now, that would make it 8.  Cincy has some work to do, and Nova would have to go on quite a streak to have any hopes.

It will be 7 or 8


Here's a list of multiple NCAA bracket projections (40 of them)

Seems right to me. Syracuse losing to South Florida is a killer for their hopes (at least for now).

Who else is worthy?

8 is the max the BE will get this year, barring another Syracuse BE run, or West Virginia falling, 7 is probably pretty realistic.

Cincy would have to win the conference title....12 losses gives them no shot.

Basically WVU, Syracuse and Nova still have possibilities but Nova has to go on a big run.
