That’s awesome! But I’ll just admire your photos of the bears, thank you very much lol.
The other animals i could do tho. I’ve seen plenty buffalo up close, and others too.
That’s where my screen name comes from. I’m half Oglala Lakota. Pine Ridge Reservation. My mom is from there. My dad is an Iowan.
Grizzlies scare me. So do mountain lions.
My “scary” list probably
Grizzlies
Moose
Mountain lions
Wolves have been surprisingly docile when I’ve seen them.
Edit: okay. Back on topic. Sorry all.
Its ok the thread has been slow and I’ve got time to kill at work today. Im appreciating it!
8 seems to be our number… Which coming from the AAC seems like a dream to coogfans…
I think 8 is a solid and likely number. 7 is also very likely but also a bit disappointing. I’d be thrilled if we can get 9 but i would bet against it.
KenPom gives his real projections, along with where his model would have teams seeded, which i think is kind of cool. He has us at 8 teams right now:
EAST
8 Baylor (KP 6)
3 Kansas (KP 2)
WEST
9 West Virginia (KP 11)
11 BYU (KP 8)
2 Iowa State (KP 2)
MIDWEST
4 Texas Tech (KP 2)
SOUTH
5 Arizona (KP 2)
2 Houston (KP 1)
That 11 seed for BYU is arguably better than an 8/9 or even a 7… if you can get it. The downside is that means you will be on the bubble, or at least uncomfortably close to it.
11 is the lowest you can go as an at-large P4 team. There are no 12s available to you. That seed is reserved for more top-end mid-majors and lows. They can go higher than 12, but our teams cannot go lower.
Although theoretically if a basement team wins a P4 conference tournament they could go lower than 11, at least in theory. I don’t think it’s actually happened.
BYU, UCF and ASU are all
UCF has kind of failed up.
They have improved their NET by about 10 spots climbing to 66 despite losing 5 of their last 6. I still think that’s too low by quite a bit, but it’s a good step in the right direction. They have some nice wins in the bank, which other teams in better spots are still looking for. Can’t ignore that
Kansas State is now all the way up to 79 and ironically, as much as it pains me to say this…Iowa State benefits big time from them finishing in the top 75 and wiping away their ugly quad 3 loss. I think we all can agree that seems pretty likely now. They still have hope if they can stay hot. You can climb fast in this league quicker than you can fall. The key is stringing together Ws.
Cincinnati its still holding on for dear life at 51. Finally got their first quad 1 win last night. They aren’t legally pronounced dead yet, but they are on life support and the priest has entered the building. They lost one of their more dynamic players in Mitchell.
BYU is sitting pretty at 35, up from the more questionable 40s. But their resume still has them WAY below their metrics. 2-5 and 3-2 in the games that matter, respectively. Need to protect home court, against the big boys too. Easier said than done in this conference, but that’s where bubble teams need to make their hay.
Mitchell is fine. He actually came back and re-entered the game last night after going down w apparent knee injury…
Fun B12 Saturday coming up.
Spaced nicely to watch full games.
Stoked its a full day like a Saturday football binge w @ AZ late.
My “scary” list probably
Grizzlies
Moose
