Temple last 4 out, ucf in the bubble

UCF is ranked this week. They are almost in lock territory now. Temple def has some work to do, but 4 is possibility.

Temple needs to win out and make the semis, I think, to be in. The finals to be comfortably in.

It's likely 3 teams unless an outsider wins the AAC.

Being ranked is not a lock to make the tourney, unless you're in a p5 conference and even then you still have to win some conference tournament games.
 
Tcu is down 25 at home to k st, st johns just lost at depaul and at xavier might be another loss. Texas getting their butts whooped at tech, these all are bubble teams that might be out. Temple needs to beat ucf

A ranked team almost never misses the tournament. We all remember SMU in 2014, but before that, it was 2004. Rarity aside, the "reason" SMU was left out was their SOS (114th), and that was also back in the days when RPI was the be all end all. Currently, UCF is ranked 25, NET 29 and have an RPI SOS of 57. They're solidly in unless they royally screw up from here on out.

What I said was being ranked is not a lock. Go back and see what teams bubble burst and you'll find some ranked teams, especially from mid major conferences

Yes but AAC not considered a mid major conference. UCF is solid. And I would give Temple odds they get in as well. Our conference is ranked 6th among the top 7 conferences ahead of PAC.
 
Palm currently has four AAC teams in. Houston a 3 seed, Cinci a 6 seed, UCF a 9 and Temple an 11. Temple can blow it, but they've been helped by a lot of bubble teams losing.

The game against us Thursday is pretty big for Temple.

I don't think it's out of the question for Memphis to play their way in. Lost by 2 at Cinci and will beat Tulsa to finish the season. But it's a long-shot.
 
Lunardi has NC State in....they are 8-8 in conference...and should be first out....I'd count on the Pack not making the cut and opening up a slot.

8-8 in a conference that has Virginia, Duke and UNC. But their OOC was pretty weak.

We're not a mid major, but we're treated like one

I trusted Lunardi right up to the point where his tv jinx kicked in on us against Wichita State.
