Have as many top 25 RPI wins between those 12 teams ( 36 ) as the other 38 teams in the RPI top 50 do between them ( also 36 ). Thats a pretty mind blowing stat.

well done

well done

Thanks man, that stat SHOCKED me. I knew there would be a few teams with a lot more but I thought itd be like a 20 team vs 30 team deal. Not 12 vs 38.

Good stuff, pretty crazy stuff, is that normal is the question?

nah rmilia is just doing an incredible job making me seem crazy for thinking that there aren't even close to 12 teams that can win the title this year.

Rmilia, well played, good sir.

Not sure what the point of this is. Most of the teams on this list are non-contending 4 and 5 seeds.

*Edit...well, half the list

I disagree. I think it's pretty wide open.

Depends on what you base this assumption of of K. The experts in Vegas have 11 of the 12 teams I listed as 11 of the 16 most likely teams to win the title ( lone exception being K State ). Even the predictive sites have 10 of the 12 as 10 of the 12 most likely to win the National Championship. While I dont think your statement of teams like Iowa, Iowa State, Wisconsin etc being 3/4/5 type seeds is necessarily incorrect that doesnt mean they arent legitimate title contenders. At least more so than some teams that are likely to be seeded slightly ahead or one the same line as them.

I don't give Zona, Wisconsin, Iowa, Iowa St, or K St. any chance. I really don't give Michigan much hope, either.

But yet you just posted that it was wide open.... LOL. Confusion reigns supreme!!!!

Um, no. I quoted a guy who said he didn't think 12 teams were contenders. I think 12 teams are. I don't think those teams I listed are in that group, though.

You don't give Arizona any chance? We have been in the top 5 all season. I know we lost Brandon Ashley but to say we have NO chance is foolish. Wow.

None. I think you can maybe make the elite 8 if you get a good draw, though.

I assume you think Cincinnati is a national title contender though.

Absolutely.

Heres another one. #16 ranked Wisconsin has as many Top 25 RPI wins (5) as #3 Wichita State, #7 Cincinnati, #9 Villanova, #10 St Louis, #14 Virginia, #18 Kentucky and #25 Gonzaga do.... COMBINED.
