Updated 1/25 bracketology

In regards to the Friars, the metrics mean as little to me as the preseason predictions this board has for the Friars year after year. I know a tough talented team when I see one and they define mental toughness, which unfortunately a computer just can't quite figure out. The selection committee is going to look at that road record though and I can assure you if the season ended today which is what current bracketology is all about, there is no way in hell that Providence is a 5 seed, and there is not a computer model you can give me that will convince me otherwise.

With the current resume I think Prov is deserving of a #3 seed. At the very least a #4.

I think Joe Lunardi sells the ACC a bit too much. I expect the ACC to get 6-7 bids. 8? not deserving.

The Pac-12 due to their high RPI can get 7 bids and i would be fine with that. I don't think they will be getting 8 when it's all said and done. At least I hope not.

When Selection Sunday comes around the Big East should be looking for 5 bids. If we get lucky we may get 6 but that may hurt the top B.E teams diluting their RPIs.

I think we got one more out-of-conference match up left right? Nova v. Temple? That should help the league get another solid win to boost the RPI a bit and steal a bid from the AAC

Don't forget Marquette vs. Stetson!

That can only hurt the league unfortunately. stetson is no good. and Marquette IMO is out of NCAA consideration
