Damn. I forgot about those two remaining schools. Wyoming has a legitimate shot, too, now that they are healthy.

I say this every year, but: how in the world is Boise St. ranked??

Every year, someone defends teams from Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, even teams like Utah St., and perennially they take their 3 loss records into the tourney and never make the S16.

AAC isn't going to get more than 3 in regardless. So if we win the whole deal, SMU gets one of the 2 at larges. That leaves either Cincinnati or Temple scratching their collective asses.
SMU is definitely in.

Look at the bubble. How do you exclude Cincinnati? They have a Top 40 RPI. A NCSOS of 26. Wins over San Diego State, and a road win against NC State OOC. You can hold some bad losses against them, but all these teams look bad, and Cincy looks very good in relation.

Temple has a Top 35 RPI. They have a NCSOS (46), and 5 of their losses came without their full team.

I think Temple is in right now. A win here would make them a lock.

If Tulsa wins it, that makes four. I won't count UConn cuz there's no way they are winning tonight, let alone tomorrow.

Boise's best wins are all in-conference. Not sold on them at all. They have only 4 top 100 wins.

Nevada did in 2004. Beat #10 seed MSU and #2 seed Gonzaga and should have made it to the Elite 8 but choked away the game against GaTech. They also ran #6 Kansas out of the building at Lawlor Events Center earlier in the season. Oh, the good ol days.

To be fair, that team actually beat someone. Who the hell has Boise beaten?
