Because of the cat and mouse games SDSU has been playing they could potentially end up with a worse seed like some have called for. I reckon that Used game could have been in the 30-40 range.

The most recent bracketology has us at a 9 seed playing Louisville (8) and potentially USC (1). I think the obvious goal would be to get to the 6 line to potentially match up with a 3 seed in the second round. That is not looking likely.

Yuck.... time to drop a game or two I guess. 8/9 is basically a death sentence in women's basketball.

Charlie Creme is probably one of the worst bracketologists around. This team is better than an 8/9 and will likely be a 6 as long as they take care of business the rest of the way.

Badgers beat RV Michigan yday
Oregon up 15 on #16 MSU in East Lansing. This would be a huge win for them and they'd probably be RVing this week. 55-40 heading into the 4th. It would make SDSU's win Q1 again (Net 37 Oregon. need them to be < 36)
Still early on some of the games but a bunch of the RV/15-25 games are close. Nebraska 29-27 against Purdue. 4:12 2nd Q. 49-42 Ole Miss against Georgia 4th q, etc

Ducks hang on for big road win over Sparty.

The part I dislike most about all of this is that the team is so close to the sweet spot of tournament caliber teams (think the good p4 schools). The team won't get the benefit of the movement (as little as it may be, and as quickly as it can go away because of other people earning ranked wins, etc) that other teams are seeing. Take a look at Harvard who just gained 2 spots without having played a game. Yes, they'll get passed over by Creighton and Oregon with the next win, but this is the movement I was hoping for. Right in the middle of all the p4 chaos

Indiana and Illinois upsets today. Michigan blowing out Oregon by 32. Creighton and Providence game too close. Iowa looks like they're going to pull off the upset. The 3 b1g games alone will be enough for those teams to make an appearance in this week's poll.

Huge day for bubble teams. This will ruin the chances for the 3 bid Ivy people.

Pending what happens with Mitch's votes, we're looking at 3 AP votes now what. Linder has jacks @ #25. I really appreciate him putting his votes out early

Linder gave some insight on voting this morning indicating he likes ELO chess. "Iowa WBB went from 58 to 38 in Warren Nolan's ELO rankings yesterday, which might be about as accurate in ranking teams as anything." -> link to warren nolan ELO chess page which has SDSU at #22

New poll SDSU is up to 6 votes

Columbia twitter page said they're getting AP votes in the polls and got a retweet from the US Basketball Writers Association.

Who are the voters for the AP poll? A bunch of writers? If so, I'd venture to guess there is very little effort put into looking at the resume of some mid-major team.

This Jacks team is 20-25 or so in the nation. No question.

The year they went to the Sweet 16 they were a 6 seed in the NCAA tourney and had 6 losses going into the tournament.

[OldHare]

The Jackrabbits need to beat the bison on the road for adding a good win. We are getting short on games against teams with winning records in the Summit.
