Bubble Watch

[MercedeSooner]

I choose to believe we finally make it in on Selection Sunday when on the bubble under Moser. Probably because I can't handle the thought of the same **** happening for the 4th time in 5 years. But I say we're going to Dayton and going to kick ass there.

The ou ad said they aren’t committing enough. What else do you need before you admit you are completely wrong on ou’s nil situation?

He is saying that so he doesn’t have to fire a coach right after taking over

 

[colston15]

Why is it crazy?

For starters it’s all lip service until we see if actually happen.

And moser is a failure. There isn’t a way to defend him. Every year has been underwhelming

As a fan, I’m tired of it

I find it hard to believe Denny would be so outspoken about additional resources without a plan to get them/already have commitments for it.

 

[WTSooner]

Our road and neutral site reocrd isn't bad compared to some of the teams we're competing with. Could be a differentiator if they are looking for reasons to put us in, and it's criteria they can use.

 

[Hecubus]

So you are saying there’s a chance?

I hope UT is the last one out and we squeeze in. Bonus gifts

 

[AltSooner33]

It seems most years that there’s a surprise team to two that gets in. But is there usually this much consensus on who the last few teams will be from the ones that predict it?

 

[WichitaSooner]

No I was just reading one the better bracket sites and the guy made that exact point. Basically, almost all the sites agree on all 68 teams, and that’s very rare.

Also... if comparing resume's side by side...

SMU went 8-10 in the ACC, finished 11th

We went 7-11 in the SEC (much tougher conference), and finished 12th

SMU lost to Vandy by 19

We beat Vandy on the road

And we had a much tougher SOS

All of this to say... a team that goes under .500 in the ACC should not be in the tournament imo.

 

[WichitaSooner]

This hurts us because our WAB metric lags behind the teams in plan for the final spots.

I say committee wants to expand - intentionally leave Miami OH out for the uproar

The problem with SMU is that they smoke us in the ratings. They are 37th in NET, we're 48th. That's a big gap to overcome. Even Auburn is 38.

Is UCF ahead of us? Shouldn't be. We should be in over Mizzou. They might could leave Ohio Miami out (doubtful, but maybe).

How is Mizzou ahead of us with their NET?

 

[Hecubus]

Auburn has the 16 losses problem. Still a die roll either way. How many actual slots are open from that list?

 

[colston15]

We really needed Miami of Ohio to get the auto bid in the MAC. That’s the difference right now.

Auburn likely won’t get in, either. Miami, Missouri, SMU, and Texas are the teams most people seem to think will be the final four auto bids.

Have you seen our updated WAB?

Before sec tourney it was 62, now 47

One spot behind Texas.

Sure have. Here is the full breakdown of all the teams in play.

Sure have. Here is the full breakdown of all the teams in play.

If it's 6 from that list, I have us at 6, 7, or 8.

 

[TEvans4Three]

Welp. There ya go

First or second of the first four out.

 

[SunshinePumper]

We are out

 

[IndySooner]

So ****ing frustrating.
