Who's In, Who's out thread Con't:

[FlyersFan]

Wanted to get this thread going again for some fun:

ILL- no FREEKING way they get in unless they win 2 games in the big10 tourney. The ESPN gamenight crew felt the same way. That schedule they played and their wins are just pure garbage. You would be hard pressed outside of Clemson to find a team that had a worse list of wins.

BRAD- bubble, bubble, bubble....that conference wasn't what it was in previous years and i am not sure they are deserving.

SWMOST- NIT

PUR- Should be in, definitely in with a win over Iowa. A loss to Iowa in the Big2/little9 get together and it gets very gray IMO

GTECH- needs to beat BC and grab a win in the ACC tourney and they are in IMO.

FSU- NIT

KSU- needs a win in the big12 tourney...they have only beaten 1 team inside the top 50RPI

TacoTech- should be in with the sweep of TAM and the win over KU. Some ugly losses on that resume. 1 Big12 win and they are in for certain.

SYR- i say they are in unless they have an ugly loss to STJ or whoever they play in the first round of the BigEast tourney. Then it gets a little fuzzier. GT win should have them on solid ground, though.

STAN- really needs a run in the Pac10 tourney. They need to beat somebody there from the pool of the top 4-5 teams. They are the defintion of bubble team, IMO who needs a good showing in their tourney

Colonial- should get 2 teams, IMO.

MWC- deserves 3 teams not 4. That league was top heavy and Utah, CSU, UNM, TCU were flat out horse**** this year. SDSU only winning by 4 at home vs. TCU didn't help them. SDSU needs to make the finals of the conference tourney to get the comittee thinking 4 teams, IMO.

MICHST- IN

ALA- OUT, OUT, OUT, you just can't go on the road and lose by 30 points all the time, and the Auburn loss at home was a killer. They are losing today by 35 at MISSST.

UGA- OUT unless they make a deep, deep conference tourney run.

UKY- here is an interesting one. They have ZERO wins over top25 teams this year. Swept by Vandy and Florida. I think they get in, but what an unimpresssive SEC they had.

probably some others........i am having a hard time finding 65 quality teams this year. My last teams in are coming down to teams like Bradley, Illinois, Stanford etc.....

[CuseFan10]

I'm gonna do mine tonight or tomorrow morning. So much rides on these Colonial Athletic Conference semifinal games that I don't see much of a point in trying to hash it out now when in 5-6 hours at least a bit more clarity could be very possible.

VCU is dominating Drexel. They are up 10 at half and Eric Maynor only played about 6 minutes and then had foul trouble. I would be pretty shocked if Drexel comes back to win this one. Even though the scoring is relatively low, VCU has really imposed their will and tempo on the game.

[CuseFan10]

The Colonial is choking away bids here, what a shame. If, and when, ODU loses they could have played themselves into only 1 tourney team if VCU beats George Mason. Drexel and Old Dominion really choked away opportunities thus far.

My league is dyyyyyying..... Come on ODU!!!!!! Don't make me into a fool like Appy State did to Nitts, haha....

[GamblinMan03]

I would love to see George Mason in it again...I am pulling for them hard.

[GamblinMan03]

Georgia Tech and Clemson are right on the bubble. I think GT gets in though, especially if they win on Thursday. Clemson may be 21-9 but their non-conference schedule was a joke.

7 from the ACC...The top 6 and Tech, IMO

Thoughts?

[Realtechfan]

I hope todays win against BC gets my jackets in but I think they may need to win one more game in the acc tourney

Illinois- must beat Penn St. and if they beat Indiana then they are in, if not then they are bubble.

Bradley- OUT

Kentucky- IN, I don't like it but they will get in.

Clemson- OUT, sad story but they aren't deserving

Florida State- OUT, NIT, wins over Florida and Duke I believe but they haven't done well in the ACC.

Syracuse- win 1 game in tourney and they are in

Michigan St. - IN

Purdue- must beat Iowa and they are in/bubble


CAA- if VCU wins the title then I like ODU to make it too.

Horizon- if Wright State wins the tourney then Butler is still in

MWC- they get 3

Appalachian State- OUT, RPI: 60, SOS: 156, it's a tough call, they beat: Virginia, Vanderbilt, VCU, Davidson.

Clemson is so far from the bubble they can't even see it... You can't lose 9 of your last 11 games and think you are making the tournament (even if they did beat Va Tech today).

Georgia Tech and Florida State are the ACC bubbles boys, not Clemson.

Not happening, IMHO. They needed to make it to the conference tourney final in the least I think. Sad for them, but the Southern conference isn't getting two teams unless it's an extreme case and this is close, but not IMHO.

No Clemson IS on the bubble, you cant honestly tell me they arent even on the bubble? Ive seen enough horrible by by FSU this season to say Clemson has the advantage over them because of the fact they beat them two times this season already. Once they make it a third time on Thursday, they got a decent chance.

[FlyersFan]

cuse- "your" right, the CAA is choking away bids as we speak. VCU is in and i think ODU is in trouble as they are down 20 right now to GMason. Should GM win that game (not you dookieGMteaserguy- meant GMASON) then i think that ODU and Drexel are toast. You have to consider 1 thing. These semifinal games are almost like "playin" games to the tournament. Drexel had their chance today and didn't get it done. In fact, they were never in that game, much like ODU today. I really don't feel bad for teams that get blown out in their conference tourneys. It's one thing to lose to VCU by a couple in a competitive game, it's another to be down 14 at the half and trail by DD most of the 2H.

I think the midmajors took a step back this year. The MVC and the CAA certainly aren't proving extra merit down the stretch, the MAC really was nothing to write home about.......

[xHeroOfTheDayx]

There is no possible way Appalachian State is making it. Something is seriously wrong if they do.

Neither Freeking team is close to the bubble. The ACC isn't getting a team that lost 9 of its last 11 and played that schedule, and FSU isn't deserving either. The 7th team is GTECH and i think that is a pretty solid 7 and end of story about the ACC.

I agree with you. I just didnt agree with how Cuse said FSU is on the bubble and Clemson wasnt even close. Its just my opinion that if Clemson wins their next two games, vs FSU and UNC then they may sneak in. Are they on the bubble? I think they are on the outer edge. I think both teams are, both need miracles.

RIP Appalachian State, it was fun while it lasted.
