2025 NCAA Tourney Bracketology

[WichitaSooner]

So Omaha is officially in the dance since the team they play tomorrow isn’t eligible for the tourney.

The Drake/Bradley game is a big one. Bubble teams are cheering for Drake so that doesn’t become a two-bid league.

If we beat Georgia in the opening round I don't see anyway we miss the tournament unless ridiculous things go down in all the major tournaments. Like Nebraska winning the Big Ten, Texas winning the SEC, and North Carolina winning the ACC all at once type things. Because we'll have 20 wins with wins over Arizona. Louisville and Michigan. And conference wins over Georgia, Vanderbilt, Missouri, Mississippi State, and maybe Arkansas as tournament teams. That should get us in. Not sure how I feel about a team that only won 6 conference games getting in though.

Look at as 20 wins not 6 conf wins... they all count the same.

Oklahoma is showing up in damn near every bracketmatrix bracket between 10-12.

86 brackets on the main page, OU is in 74 of them.

I think it’s a 50/50 chance as it stands right now. Beat Georgia and it’s 100% imo.

Good thing is Georgia is already in the tournament. Not saying they won’t try but OU’s motivation will be much stronger.

OU also has played some of their best basketball on neutral courts. That gives me hope.

 

[MercedeSooner]

Careful…

Luckily this year the amount of possible bid stealers are less unless you get an anomaly like a couple NC St’s coming out from the bigger leagues.

I think OU is possibly playing to get out of the play in games if they can beat Georgia, the OOC resume just speaks loudly this year. When you start comparing resumes and ignore the ugly conference record like the committee is supposed to do there’s no way they can leave us out.

Beat uga. I think it's that simple. Anything else relies on other teams and scenarios.

 

[SunshinePumper]

Ohio State is 17-14…I understand metrics and what not but 3 games over .500? How are they safely in over us by these folks.

Baylor and WVU also don’t make as much sense to me.

Winning solves everything beat UGA and I won’t be as worried

 

[IndySooner]

Careful…

I’m old enough to remember last year

 

[WichitaSooner]

Would be nice for Iowa to beat Nebraska.

 

[WichitaSooner]

Michigan tanking the last few games will take some of the shine off that win. Would have been nice for that to end up as a Q-1A win but they are sliding quite a bit. Still a good win but not quite what it was as recently as a couple weeks ago.

 

[IndySooner]

Drake is the biggest game for us today by far.

I agree. Beating UGA would also give us a shot to beat Kentucky and basically 100% clinch a bid.

 

[AnotherSoonerInTX]

Beating Georgia gets us off the bubble and probably gets us out of Dayton.

 

[CoachTalk]

I want to beat Georgia but I really want to play Kentucky again.

I think so too.

 

[MercedeSooner]

I want to beat Georgia but I really want to play Kentucky again.

After that nonsense Garrison pulled in Norman there's no team I want us to beat more right now. Bunch of clowns.

If we lose to Georgia it’ll only take 3 or 4 bid stealers to push us out. We can still make it in with a loss but we will be very uncertain heading into Selection Sunday. That game is going to be huge and playing them without Godwin after how they beat us up on the glass the first time around is gonna be scary.

Why do you assume Sam is out? The broadcast said multiple times they are hopeful he will be back.
