    They don't make it, how many top 50 RPI wins do they have? None. They are only 4-6 against top 100 RPI teams. They have beat absolutely nobody this season. Their best win is Murray State and Western Kentucky.

    Overall body of work. 2 quadrant 1 wins. Sad for the bubble teams, but I believe you will see the Blue Raiders dancing come Sunday evening.

    MTSU is lucky they have moved to the quad system, because they are 2-3 in quad 1, which sounds way better than zero wins against rpi top 25 and 50. I hope they don't get in, for the fact they played an entire season and had two solid wins.

    Guys. They are in.....the tyle of matchup the committee wants to see in Dayton. A Louisville or UCLA against a mid major. Teams with 14 or 15 losses arent stealing MTSU's bid....believe that.

    It’s so ridiculous. Oklahoma has been one of the worst teams in the entire country over the past 2 months

    I think we all know why Oklahoma would get in and it's not their body of work as a team.

    I don't think they'll be in, but the way the committee evaluates has changed. No way they would have gotten in last year with b2b losses to Marshall at home and southern miss on a neutral floor.

    I hope they get in. And I think they'll win a game if they do.

    LSU was in a similar situation when they had Ben Simmons and didn't get in, I don't see oklahoma getting in this year either

    I really hope ND gets in over Oklahoma, possibly Alabama if they lose today, etc.

    Best guess for what's left for Friday.

    Looks like lots of close calls.

    21 conferences with 1 team for sure.

    40 teams in for sure.

    7 spots for:

    St Bonaventure (in if they win today IN)

    Bama (same boat as st Bonny)

    Any bid stealers

    Bubbles who are waiting

    Louisville
    Oklahoma
    Texas
    Baylor
    Marquette
    Middle Tennessee
    Arizona st
    St Mary's

    This is leaving out longshots like Ok St Syracuse Notre Dame PSU Nebraska.

    I put in UCLA USC Providence FSu NC St, teams that are almost sure bets IMO.

    This really shouldn't change much unless an Oregon or some odd wins the American or a10. Most of the bubble teams are out already.

    Teams like Oklahoma, Arizona St., and Alabama have been so bad in recent weeks I hate putting any of them in, but i think 2 of the 3 will eventually make it.

    I'm not sure I like the idea of rewarding good wins in November when you suck for all of February either. Of the 3, Oklahoma is probably first in line unless Alabama wins today.

    This will be interesting because no one really played their way in and a couple mid majors shot themselves in the foot

    Updated in case anyone wants a little help with that contest. Personal opinion is that it will be Oklahoma Texas st Mary's then Louisville or davidson
