2025 NCAA Tourney Bracketology

ACC Remaining Bid Stealer is probably SMU. North Carolina may have played their way in.

Big East has Villanova left

Big 12 has no bid stealers left

Big 10 has USC playing Purdue right now

SEC has Texas left I guess although they are probably in now.

That's it for the major conferences it looks like.

Looks like that Mississippi state win won’t be moved up to a Q1

Got a few more potential bid-stealers out there. Nevada and UNLV in the Mountain West (and Boise even though they are First 4 out). Also, any team in the Atlantic 10 besides VCU and any team in the American besides Memphis.

Palm at CBS still has OU as a 9 seed

Yea the latter two conference tourneys are the ones to be wary of. If those two teams lose, it will knock two bubble teams out and could push us closer to Dayton.

no thanks. 10-12 for me!

 

[IndySooner]

no thanks. 10-12 for me!

For sure! Stay away from the 8-9 line.

 

[TINY]

I think ou will be a 10 seed. Hope we end up on other side of Texas tech.

11 is ideal, actually. That would be a Sweet 16 run in the making.

Unfortunately/Fortunately, I think we have played ourselves out of the 11 seed.

Was just looking at that exact thing. That's the absolute ideal pairing.

Is flagg coming back next week?

Is flagg coming back next week?

Zero chance they'll tell anyone if he isn't. They won't want to project weakness to the committee.

 

[dksooner]

I think we are on the 10 or 11 line

 

[61sooner]

Still nervous until we hear OU's name called Sunday.

Bracketology Update:

CBS - 9 seed playing Uconn in Raleigh

USA Today - 10 seed playing Kansas in Lexington

On3 - 11 seed playing Michigan in Providence

The Athletic - Last four in playing Indiana

Graham Doreen - 10 seed playing Gonzaga in Cleveland

***once again will update as more predictions come in

 

[IndySooner]

Kelvin's first four years vs. Moser's first four years

Kelvin:
23-9 - First round loss to Manhattan (Zero major conference non-con wins)
17-13 - First round loss to Temple (Zero major conference non-con wins)
19-11 - First round loss to Stanford
22-11 - First round loss to Indiana

Porter:
19-16 - First team out
15-17
20-12 - First team out
20-13 - TBD

The difference in the two is strength of conference. Period. Had Porter been coaching in the old Big 8/12, there were easily two or three more wins per year. Instead, he's been in historically good conferences.

Man, there are a bunch of blue bloods in that list (Gonzaga might as well be a blue blood at this point). And we can't play Michigan in the first round because we already played them, which means the other matchups are that much more likely.

Man this is an odd hill to die on. They could tell the committee he will never walk again and they have no worse than the number 2 overall seed locked up.

So in your support of your wannabe drinking buddy, you cite the fact that Kelvin made four tourneys in four years while PM is (hopefully) going to eek in once in four years? And then you use pure speculation to bolster your claim?

It's not speculation. I'm 100% sure you could use analytics to back it up.
