Playing Florida in Omaha would be wild
No disrespect at all to the "starting to worry about matchups" crowd.... I'm still firmly in the "I DGAF just get in" crowd!
Every team in the field is a tough out, if you get the chance to play in Omaha in front of a sell out home crowd you take it, period. JMO
Is there any way we can play a B1G team in the first round?
The actual bball conferences (big East, big 12, SEC, mountain west) will be tough to beat

Play-in wouldn’t be the worst thing
Every year it seems there’s an 11 that wins a couple out of Dayton
It's just that if you lose, it's like you weren't even in the thing.
Wake Forest beating Duke likely gets them off the bubble and in the dance, which isn't good news for us if we don't take care of business
I thought this was about bullet calibers. Very disappointed.
Who else has Wake beaten? I’m asking because I don’t know… shouldn’t our wins against Purdue and Wisconsin count for something?
Wake is 1-3 v. ranked teams. Beat Florida, Virginia and Pitt - all at home. Only 2 road wins - Georgia Tech and BC. Shitty resume IMO and the ACC is dog shit this year.
And speaking of bullshit, Mich St loses AT HOME to Iowa and they move up to 16 in the KENPOM rankings. WTF is the love fest all about for that team?
I don't like this at all! Their losses are like wins. Nebraska could be 23-4 with a win over them and Purdue and they wouldn't be ranked in the Top 25. Michigan State played us within 7 points and is 17-10 and would receive more votes in the Top 25. The Out of Conference SoS plays WAY to big of a factor for some metrics. Overall SoS should matter way more IMO, but it doesn't

Same thing applies to the Big 10 tourney. As things stand, Nebraska as a #5 gets a Day 1 bye and would play the winner of the 13/12 game - Ohio St/Maryland. Could be a no bueno Scenario.
KSU is now back in the top 75 of NET rankings, which counts as a Quad 1 win as of now, noice.
I think people need to stop thinking about The Big Ten tourney. While I certainly want the double bye, I think Nebraska will be firmly in the Big Dance regardless.
Easily... should be, but a lot depends on what the rest bubble teams do. I could see a scenario where they snub us
True. They are humans after all. Snub us for Gonzaga (1 quad one win) or cincy
I'm not really thinking of it in terms of how it could help us qualify for the BD. It would be fun to win a couple games in the conference tourney for once!
Huskers would have to go 3-1 and Wisky would have to lose two of their last 4 games which is very possible to get a double bye..
Kenpom is a mathematical equation. There isn't any opinion being injected there.
Agree. It would be fun to see the Huskers make some noise in the conference tournament regardless of where they stand in making the Big Dance.
Buckeyes take down Sparty in East Lansing. Huge comeback, then knocked down a 3 right before the buzzer.
Two losses in a row at home means Michigan St should be ranked in the top 10 next week.
Then check the algorithm because it sucks. And code can definitely have opinion injected in it - see Google Gemini 🤣
He needs to go check his formulas because his mathematics is skewed for having Mich St at 16 and Nebraska at 38 or 40. No way in hell.
Michigan St is projected to be a #1 seed after losing the rest of their games,
