Do you even watch games? I can't believe you do if you have Illinois as low as 11.
ReplyDeleteThis prediction is based on what I think the committee will do with the metrics they use, not how I think they deserve to be seeded.
DeleteSo why then are the Illini drastically lower in your eyes than the majority of the rest of the polls in the bracket matrix? Illinois now has 3 solid quad one wins that aren't going anywhere, 2 of which are on the road (Rutgers, @Wisconsin, @Purdue). They have another that is teetering on quad one (Michigan). That seems like a better resume than Colorado who is a 5 seed in your bracket despite having only 2 quad one wins (Oregon & Dayton) neither of which were on the road (I know @Clemson is close at 77). Help me understand the wide discrepancy you see here.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest thing against the Illini right now is their nonconference SOS, which is in the bottom third of the country. They do have the good fortune of playing in the best conference in the country, so they will have a ton of chances to pick up Q1 and Q2 wins, which should cancel out the SOS issue. Colorado's SOS numbers are much better at this point, though with only half of the Pac 12 even halfway decent this year, that should take a hit as the season goes on.
DeleteI see Colorado did beat Arizona State on the road which is a quad one right now at #63.
