OSU isn't on the bubble. 25-30 is about right for them.

Yeah OSU is probably closer to a 6 seed than a bubble team right now

Per espn article they were.

I keep seeing all these projections with Iowa at a 6 or 7 seed. I just dont see how given resume. I dont know if id have them on the 4 line like @ericd7633 does but if theyre not a 4 theyre certainly the top 1/2 5 seeds and not a 6 and gtfo with your 7 seed Lunardi

They are a 7/8 right now. That doesn't equal bubble team to me.

Momentum appears to be on their side. We'll see how the season finishes up for them.

They just missed the cut like during the reveal. And since then alot of teams ahead of them have lost multiple games. You can make a case for Auburn/Oregon to be ahead, but it's close. No way they should be on the 7 line. That's absurd. I honestly don't think Lunardi is the best national bracketologist anymore. Dave Omen at NBCsports is better IMO. With that said nobody else got all 68 teams accurately selected like I did last year. Lol. At least the ones submitted to bracket matrix.

Schedule has certainly helped with a road win at NW and 3 winnable games at home. Stealing the one in Ann Arbor was the huge win, that was unexpected.

I actually value your bracket more because i know you actually watch the games lol

I also try to gather as much information as possible. Like something I didn't know last year was that there was an emphasis on ESPN's SoR metric. It's why UNCG was in the field prior to Oregon winning the Pac 12 CG. That's something I'll take a look at more in depth this year. In particular the mid majors.

I didnt know that . Interesting. Without looking id put Iowa around 15 in thar . Even though theyve got 8 losses theyve played 15 of their 26 games vs Q1 teams. Im sure it doesnt correlate exactly but im guessing its close

 

[Deep Creek]

Could be a very goofy final four this year

That's what we are all thinking. Now watch it be the traditional powers like Kentucky, Duke, Kansas and Gonzaga.

You almost guessed it. They are 16th coming into tonight's action.

I figured. Theyve got the 3rd most Q1 wins in the country and are tied for first in Q1 games so even with the 8 losses i thought theyd be in that range
