So are ND, and Louisville, and cuse and many others. It's a crapshoot at this point.

In the Bracket Matrix MU is only in 9 of 91 brackets which is fewer than all of the realistic bubble teams except ND.

Which means absolutely nothing. At this point the only thing that matters is the bracket we see tomorrow. MU may be in, they may be out. Well know soon.

But...the computer models seem to like MU quite a bit actually..so it's all going to depend on what the committee values most.

Yes Palm (CBS) has us in over USC, ASU, MTSU, and Louisville as a play-in 11 seed
Not sure how accurate he's been over the years

He ranks like 82 out of 114 on bracket matrix over the last 5 years so not very. Lunardi ranks 40th for comparison.

9 our of 91. We're all biased and use our blue and gold glasses to judge this team. Apperntly the rest of the country doesn't see what we see.

The 3 most accurate computer

ESPN's RESUME builder actually has MU in by a safe margin and they claim to be the
Most accurate.

I spent a great deal of time with Palm's daughter Rosie during my four years at Marquette.

You pick up his lunch tab again, Cheeks?

Last year the JNG was the most accurate published "rating" at predicting the Committee.  It got all 68 teams correct and all but 9 teams within 4 spots of the official seed list released by the Committee (http://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2017-03-12/march-madness-bracket-every-seed-ranked-68-1).  Among protected seeds, only Louisville (8th vs 14th) was missed.  Otherwise, it was perfect through not only the top 4 seeds but the top 6 seed lines.

The ratings have a strong history of picking dismissed outliers.  When nobody thought UCLA should even get close to a bid in 2015, the ratings revealed that they actually were in the thick of the discussion (further proof the ratings are meant to mimic the Committee, NOT evaluate merit in a manner that should be adopted).  The big surprise by the committee in 2016 was the inclusion of the Tulsa Golden Hurricane and, once again, the JNG called it.  Last year the biggest surprise was not an inclusion but the seeding of Vanderbilt.  Many did not even have the Commodores in the field, but the Committee gave them a 9 seed and 33rd overall mimicking the JNG's 9 seed and 34th overall.   We know of few other "formulas" that have the ability to accomplish this task.

I'm glad ESPN claims that their own models are the most accurate.

I'm too lazy to run the scenarios myself but I'd imagine anyone that was talking about 9-9 being lock status didn't figure losing @ DePaul was in the 9-9 road map
