Kansas vs TCU

Probably knocks Syracuse out. Even though I'm not sure how the talking heads think they are in to start with.

I heard that earlier....and I about fell out of my chair. Syracuse' RPI is in the 80s and no at large team has ever made the field with an RPI that low. They do have some quality wins (6 vs RPI Top 50), but they also have 5 sub-100 losses including a horrible loss to BC (#213)

Their best non conference win was vs Monmouth (#50)....other than that, they beat no one out of conference. There is no way they should even be considered for an at-large spot. But it does mean that the bubble is borderline awful this year if they are even close to being in the running for a spot.

I promise that when they compare records without the name, the Cuse would be way out. Name recognition carries weight, always has, always will.
 
Cuse had no business getting in last year, and then that piece of trash Boeheim lucked into a final four run.
