Itâs only truly impartial if they are basing it completely off of where the numbers stand today. If there is inertia based off where the metrics stood Sunday then they are more biased than UVA fans
Unless torvik hasnât updated they have lower resume ranks while having fewer Q1+2 wins and the same number of Q1 wins at a lower winning %. Donât see how they are ahead of us in a fair process
Because they are P2
Torvik just updated, theyâre up to 10. Ahead of us in all predictives, will be on our heels in WAB if we lose today, 10-6 in Q1, and their win today is far superior to any that we have
Penn Harvard comin down to last shot or so
OT
Yea I donât know maybe itâs fan brain but with Gonzaga at least you can argue the predictives, with Nebraska I donât know what the argument is. Like yes they have a better âbest three winsâ but they also got 9 Q1A opportunities (3-6) vs we got 4 (3-1)

Yes, Purdue and Illinois have played more Q1 games than us, but both teams have lost 8 of those games. I donât see how itâs better that they played more Q1 games than us if theyâre going to lose that many of them. As Iâve said before, other than Michigan, the Big10 is overrated.

Torvik is predictive rather than resume
Didnât realize their 9 Q1 was before todayâs result. Still worse win percentage in Q1 and Q1/2 without distancing themselves in number of wins
Anyone want to put up the full list of metrics / records for the potential 3 seeds?
Iâm referring to their resume as a whole, not resume metrics, sorry to confuse. Hopefully we win tonight so it doesnât matter
Another bracket matrix update, weâre a 3 seed in 20 of the 53 brackets updated so far today. Nebraska is a 3 in 41 brackets and Gonzaga is a 3 in 45 brackets (and a 2 seed in 1âhaslametrics)

Are we the 3 in the 12 brackets that Nebraska is not and in the 8 that Gonzaga is not?

Yes, no one has Alabama on the 3 line anymore. Unfortunately these donât include Vandyâs big win today though

Has a top 10 AP team who finished second in their power conference ever been a 4 seed?

What do team sheets look like this year, anyway? For all the Nebraska talk about âbest winsâ is that even on the sheet?
Louisville last year was AP top ten, #2 ACC and got an eight seed. Obviously thatâs an outlier, but in general AP is a poor predictor of seeding because it has strong recency bias/bias towards being a ânumber of losses sorterâ

Weird, donât remember them being top 10. Thought 15 or somethingâŚ
Going off of bracketmatrix⌠If weâre a 3-seed, looks like our presumptive 2nd round would be Tennessee? As a 4-seed, weâd probably get Wisconsin? I think Iâd rather get Wisconsin. (Obviously the 1st-round game is harder as a 4-seed, as would be facing a 1-seed if it came to thatâŚ)
