Bracketology 2020-2021

[Viper]

How can this be?  BLM insisted that Gard was only effective because he had Bo Ryan's players.  Last year Gard's team finished the season on an 8-0 run.  And projected for a 2 seed next year?  And we project 7th in an 11 team league in Year 7 of the mediocrity experiment of Wojo having "all his guys?"  Say it aint so.

Clarification, BLM is not Black Lives Matter, literally, it is the poser formerly known as Wadesworld.  Then again BLM is a more appropriate username for the guy who always gets the premise wrong.

Here's another great thread with BLM once again so far off the mark:

In that topic, this post really triggered BLM.

excellent post. Well stated.

Marquette is a #9 seed in Joe Lunardi's ESPN Bracketology on December 8, 2020

[BM1090]

12 seed, 2nd to last team in. I have a strong feeling this doesn't include last night's win, though. He's usually a day or two late on seeding updates.

We went from a 9 to a 12 for losing to UCLA. THis thing is gonna fluctuate a lot

Yeah I don't get it.  We went from receiving votes to no votes at all after losing a road game to a top 25 team.  We lost a game we were supposed to lose.  Makes no sense.

This season is just going to further point out the flaws with this bracketology methodology.  It can be fun, but it's just for clicks and shouldn't be taken seriously.  When you make one preseason and then just slide teams up or down you can have the current situation of a 1 win UK team and a two top ten win MU team both on the bubble.  This is why the actual committee doesn't start making their bracket until much further into the season.

It's December 15.  "Bracketology" is worthless right now.

I do agree with your point it's worthless. I think it's the idea that we are one of two teams with two top 10 wins and yet we're last four in while the other is a 1 seed. Not saying we deserve a 1 but there's definitely something to be a little indignant over in the last 4 placement

It has to be an error.  Lunardi probably turned it in before the game concluded.  Only explanation.  Marquette is at worst like 6-7 seed with those 2 wins.  Probably higher. 

That said - its completely meaningless info.

Don't be indignant over something that is worthless.  Bad way to go through life.

Agreed.

T-ranketology now which factors in resume, NET, ELO, and Wins Above Bubble has MU with the top 8 seed. The system also has us MU with the second best resume in the country, trailing only Missouri.

I'm indignant over this remark.

But more seriously, there's a different between me being indignant over disrespect from an average bracketologist  and indignant over getting passed up for a promotion. I can be indignant over both for the relative effect they have on my life just saying.

I don't think Lunardi is staying up late or waking up early to edit his brackets with the results from the night before. He likely writes them the day before they are posted and schedules them to be posted in the morning.

This time of year, Lunardi is working up his brackets after doing the same thing Johnny B was doing the other night before posting on Scoop.

[PGsHeroes32]

Also I think some of his bracket has to do more so right now with where he thinks teams will end up.

THats about the only thing that can explain having 1-4 UK anywhere near the field....and even that still looks bad.

He's driving clicks.  Bold opinions get them.

Marquette next four out in today's Bracketology

Respect the process.

[BM1090]

Lunardi moved us into his "Next Four Out" after last night's win. Seems to reinforce the idea that we'll likely be in if we can finish a few games above .500

Thank You for the Lunardi Update appreciate it. Jerry Palm has Marquette Listed in his First 4 Out in his January 15th Bracket Predictions on CBSSPORTS.COM

BRACKETOLOGY WITH MIKE DECOURCY HAS MARQUETTE AS A 10 SEED IN TODAY'S FOX COLLEGE HOOPS

BRACKETOLOGY WITH MIKE DECOURCY HAS MARQUETTE AS A 10 SEED IN TODAY'S FOX COLLEGE HOOPS

That's interesting because I'm pretty sure in his last update he didn't have Marquette in the field or even the first 8 out. All that's changed since then is winning at St. John's.

Just goes to show that some bracketologists are more scientific than others
