My Rutgers team just finished up in Rupp.   We have all the makings of a NT team but I just don't see it.  We are 18-10 with a 52 RPI and 64 SOS.  We are projected 49 in the NT bracket.  However, look at my schedule and tell me who I beat.  My signature win is against Princeton.....Princeton.

If the projection report has you at 49 you're probably in the last 4 in, but you could wind up in the first 4 out.  Depends how many mid- and low-majors had good enough seasons to be up there above you, there are usually just a very few, but you don't need many.

I dont think so based on no top 50 wins and 1 top 100 win BUT (this is a big but) the projection report is being kind so you might get in.

My answer is yes based on projection report if you drop below 53 in the projection report my answer is no.

Tell me what happens.

Not to be a dick, but I hope not. 

0-5 vs top 25
0-4 vs 26-50
1-1 vs 51-100

So 0-9 vs the top 50 and 1-10 vs the top 100.  Based on that, I think you should feel lucky if make the PIT.

That's my point,  I was shocked I was still projected to make the NT.   

Yeah, that's really weird.  He probably won't comment on this, but I'd like to see what seble would say about what part of your resume is bolstering your NT credentials.

Dropped to 50 in the projection report

you might be that high based on SOS alone joe. When I first started playing I noticed significant differences in RPI if your SOS is high, even if your record sucks and you have no significant wins.

Still, I don't see that in your teams case. 64 SOS is not usually high enough to do that. Maybe its an issue of relavance to the world. Maybe everyone else is not doing that well themselves, but I dont know.

im really surprised by this one. there is nothing that says NT team about the resume (as someone said, no offense). the biggest change i saw when seble tweaked this stuff, was a significantly increased importance on record vs top 50, top 100, etc (top 25/75 too maybe). given that, i am shocked your team is not well under RPI, in the projection report. 

i wonder if it could be win margin. your win margin is pretty big, but seble said SCORE in a game is a small factor (compared to non factor, before his change). makes no damn sense to me honestly. 

?If I was NC State in another world, I would be ******. Hopefully this NT bid (if you get it) will keep your boosters from complaining. I kid, I kid.

;)

I made it.   It looks like I was the last team in (14 seed, only conference champs behind me).

I think I screwed Marquette and Wake Forrest.
